8 Strangest Things Ever Won At A Video Game Event

8. Used Underwear - World Of Tanks

No, you didn’t mishear me: World of Tanks, for a Japanese tournament, did indeed dole out used underwear to the runners-up of a competition.

However, these weren’t any stinky old underpants; these were the stinky underpants of Japanese pornstar Mana Sakura, which she took off, live on stage, autographed, and then presented to the 'lucky' second place.

Japan and its pornstars have actually got a fairly lengthy history with video games, so that aspect isn't as odd as it sounds. The real question here is: did these competitors throw the match on purpose in order to get a bit closer to their dream of a World of Tanks World of Wanks?

Either way, I can’t think of anything stranger than a) entering a World of Tanks tournament and b) entering the aforementioned tournament only to be rewarded with a pair of undies on my exit. Also, it’s worth remembering that Mana Sakura had to don a new pair of pants each time in order to take them off again for the losers. Either that or she wore about 20 pairs. That’s not going to be a second place you want.
