BALTIMORE, MD ‒ Professional Super Smash Bros Player Hungrybox has voided his contract with Team Liquid to sign with the newest sponsor on the scene: the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

“The Bubba Gump team values three things above all else: family, fun, and fresh seafood.” said Hungrybox, who was sporting the iconic red Bubba Gump shrimp hat whilst loading gourmet crabs into a potato gun. “After taking a close look at my personal values, I saw they were much more closely aligned with Bubba Gump than with TL.”

It wasn’t all about personal values for HBox though, who is aware that his celebrity status brings with it a heightened level of responsibility and agency.

“I also have to think about the message I’m sending to my young, impressionable fans.” said the veteran Smash Bros champion. “I mean, my name is Hungrybox, and Team Liquid’s logo is a horse. I don’t want kids thinking it’s okay to eat horses. It’s not okay to eat horses. It is okay, however, to eat the fantastic selection of shrimp, lobsters, and other aquatic delicacies at your nearest Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. location.

When asked about contract specifics, HBox declined to share the specific details. He did confirm, though, that he would be primarily compensated with “fish and coupons.”

At press time, Hungrybox could be seen at a firing range, where he was shooting crabs from his potato gun. This was presumably for self-defense purposes.
