Pro StarCraft II player Koh “GuMiho” Byung Jae was playing in Korea the other day when he suffered a pretty drastic technical mishap: the booth he was sitting behind collapsed, hitting him in the head and sending his monitor flying into his face.
It looks like it him him pretty hard, so his stunned look is totally understandable. It also would have been understandable if the shock (and pain) meant he’d go on to lose the game.
But when the match was restarted at the point his booth collapsed, Koh kept his cool and actually came out with the win.

Great, now gaming causes concussions too
It’s an official contact sport now.
I was watching this when it happened on the proleague stream and laughed (sorry gumiho). There was a half hour pause in the game and he wound up beating zest (one of the top Protoss right now, and probably KTF’s current best player).
