The world's best gamers. You know them as champions, you remember them posing with their trophies. But the face of a defeated player can tell us much more about him than the smile on a podium. No one captures that as well as pigvomit.

This is what the 10 photos below are about. To show you the side of the player that you are not so familiar with. The face of a defeated player often tells you who he really is and how badly he wanted to win. It is interesting to see this - the greater the player, the better the photo.
