@bagger101 Lol ok, why don't you try to play SC at that level and then let us know if you still think he's brain dead. He was probably just tired/exhausted, or that's merely his personality.
Don't fucking make fun of soccer...(football) 10 hours a day of starcraft is nerdy as fuck and yes it does take a lot of intelligence to go that quick but soccer you have to be in incredible condition and think at the same time...
@7justin34 No one's saying anything bad about soccer. We're just saying that just because starcraft is a video game doesn't make it any less of a sport as soccer.
@NukerStarcraft well it kinda does seeing as sport is defined as physical activity... calling a computer game sport would be the same as calling chess a sport. While both can be done competitively they are two very different things
@95bigash yes I know... But the true definition of sport is physical activity. I personally don't know why it's called an e-sport because that's just trying to advertise itself as something it isn't. Just call it professional gaming and leave it at that imo
@SwanniesAllTheWay I dont consider golf a sport... but that doesnt mean other people doesnt... if you consider swinging an arm with a stick to hit a ball into a hole a sport, i can consider moving my finger to control a virtual army while thinking how am i going to defeat my opponent a sport.
@AEgamesFtw well sport doesn't necessarily have to be competitive you can have friendly games of football, tennis etc. But hey if you want to believe in that then go ahead... Just as long as you know that you are wrong.
@SwanniesAllTheWay A 'freindly' game of football or tennis is still competitive... if it's not being scored, then the rules aren't being used and it's not a sport.
@AEgamesFtw ....... Oh, I'm sorry i nearly fainted due to your level of idiocy, look believe what you want, truly cbf arguing over youtube anymore with people who just can't admit they're wrong when they know they are
@SwanniesAllTheWay Professional gaming is considered a sport because it has practically all the same things that a "normal" sport has: competition, leagues, teams, tournaments, fans, sponsors, TV coverage, commentators, etc. etc. The only difference is that it's not really a physical competition but more a mental one. Hence, they call it E-Sports to distinguish it from "normal" sports. Overall, I think labeling professional gaming as a sport is justified.
@topherno tbh though, the only country that has that in full force is South Korea... Anywhere else it is no where near the level as what a sport such as football is. This may one day change and you know I don't mind that because to be good at these games at that sort of level you need a large amount of skill. I would just like it personally to be known solely as gaming and not have the word 'sport' in it in any way, because they are different
@SwanniesAllTheWay Not necassarily because SC is played in WCG which includes every country in he world. As you stated before yes south Korea is currently the best and there are no countries that compare with South Koreas skill. However that also goes with football. Is there a football world cup? Sure but there are very few that can compete against U.S. Ultimatley, one can consider gaming a sport because it takes just as much talent and practice as physical sport
@drchen054 Cause it is. SC2 fans that did not watch during BW do not even know that this still goes on in BW. That only a portion of the pro gamers from BW moved to SC2. Do you know who flash is? No, Flash is a player who made the equivalents of MC, Nestea, July, Bomber, MVP, MAA afraid. For every pro in SC2, there is at least 1 in BW. The prize pool for BW, even though it's mainly in S. Korea, is still larger in a year cycle then SC2 which has multiple tournaments across multiple countries.
this is too exaggerated. how is kang min one of the most famous ppl in korea? its not like every age group watches starcraft its mostly only young people
@jaameessss He isn't one of the most famous for certain, but Starcraft players are well known regardless of age group. I'm certain that if you asked 100 people of varying ages and monetary income, at least half would know who flash is and say why he's famous. Which is more then can be said for lots of stars. One thing your also forgetting is korea is very idol based. Unlike america and european countries, people are famous that do stuff that nobody would really notice in other palces.
wow the last line just suprised me. "retired progamers are being recruited by large companies and are being trained to be stockbrokers". Thats pretty intense there.
@maartenkorving basically i heard that due to the recession back in the days, sc1 was like a cheap form of entertainment, so loadsa Koreans got into it and one thing led to another and yo ahve this massive and very lucrative business
Cultural differences. In America, the idea of sitting down and practicing and honing your skills at a video game for 12 hours a day seems absolutely ridiculous. However, in Korea, it's what is necessary to become a top player. Professional Football players have to train and practice constantly to stay the best of the best. The biggest difference between Korea and America in this regard is the game played. America chose football, Korea chose StarCraft.
Whats the difference of a RTS game and soccer or any other "physical" game? besides the intelligence difference required to play each.
You might say 10 hours playing a day might be somewhat abusive, but how many kids waste their lives kicking balls into a goal, at least these players have the intelectual knowledge to succeed in life after their progaming career ends.
@LightBrand Did your grandparents thought about you being on youtube writing that comment when they were your age? Though so..
@ahetalpkeusoulite123 "least these players have the intelectual knowledge to succeed in life after their progaming career ends." .... no they don`t :)
@ahetalpkeusoulite123 Their physical attributes are nowhere near that of physical sports players.
If you're wondering; I'm defending normal people who let people play what they want, not some shitty rivalry between 'sports fans' and 'video games fans' or whatever bullshit. You spend your life perfecting the art of curving a ball, or you spend it pressing 3, E. So long as you have fun and earn enough to live, do whatever the fuck you want.
@ahetalpkeusoulite123 If you really can't tell the difference between soccer and a computer game then you sir, are stupid. Soccer atleast gives you exercise, sitting down at computer doesn't. I'm not dissing starcraft because it's my favourite game, but you're just stupid.
@ahetalpkeusoulite123 if anything the game would block up 6 years of education making you a lot less educated than you could be. i doubt they can play 10 hours a day and still read before they go to bed. playing an outside sport clears your mind like meditation.
@Pinoylegend707 The thing about sc bw, is that the latency and the AI forced more micro to make sure the units did what you wanted to. In SC2 WoL, the AI is good enough to require less apm, while completing the tasks instructed by the players.
@tykd LOL yeah that too. Units blocking each other killing themselves in the process lololol I find that annoying but if I look back to it I find it funny as hell.
@Kallosar Well, its quite an exaggeration to say that micro in sc2 is non-existent, to say the least. But true statement, SC2 is a lot more about mindgames and strategy, and that's why WhiteRa-kind of guys can fare well in it. Tbh, I like SC2 way a lot better, since it's a lot less about being a human machine and a lot more about playing creative.
Well you can't muta micro in SC2 the mechanics prevent it, and all the units bunch up together in clumps so its always one big army vs another big army....never about small individual engagements. No Lurkers, No Defiler Swarms, No Scourge micro, and u can max out super fast compared to BW. Technically its more noob friendly but allowing everything to be done in a click of a button or press of a key. Just my opinion. Like playing real BBall compared to Arcade BBall
@Kallosar How exactly does the game mechanics prevent you from microing mutalisks lol So playing BW is like playing basketball and playing SC2 is like playing a video game version of a basketball game, quite the metaphor.
Try taking out a marine force of about 30 Marines and 2 Medics with 11 Mutas and 1 Larva on BW. Very possible and easy if u micro right.....now try the same on Starcraft 2. Near Impossible.
FYI it is fun game and i'm korean but know this not all Koreans are good at Starcraft or only game that we play is Starcraft. How do i know that? i'm korean and i suck at Starcraft. I literally Starcraft. and don't say shit about pro gamers. They win at life. They earn money while doing something fun for their lives and killing lots of SPERMS..
Well, I wont blame/laugh at these "pro gamers" for what they do. Big companies are only sponsoring them and providing their meal ticket because they are indeed marketable.
Meaning there are idiots out there who would watch this shit.
If nobody in Korea gives a fuck if you are good at StarCraft. Pro gamer would be a joke there, there wouldn't even be a thing called "pro gamer" you'd just be at home playing game.
And make no mistake, these nerds aren't the nerds who score high in school.
@LightBrand well, the same can be said to ANY professional sport right? If nobody gives a fuck for watching football/basketball/baseball/etc, then these "professional players" wouldn't be making their 7 figure salary every year and they would be a joke. They would be just some high school drop outs playing the sport they love for longs hour for nothing.
@Yavin1v And that is why our society is going down hill with this generation.
Imagine your parent's childhood, and your grandparents, within their generation they went from playing with rocks into television, computer and Internet. Do you realize how big of a jump they've made during their lifetime?
Do you imagine YOUR kids' childhood to be any different from yours? I doubt it, he'll be playing video game the same way you are now. This generation is going flat when playing VG gets a job.
@LightBrand you have completely ignored what i said, its a sport, sports have existed for ages and that hasnt hampered progress, you are generalising....
@Yavin1v Ages NBA dated back to merely the 40s. That's when I "generalize" where you can actually get paid to do what's meant to be a "hobby".
Hey, maybe we can turn jump rope into a paying career as well, how about doing push-ups? Why not getting paid to make youtube video oh wait you can already do that.
I'm telling you man, I don't hate what they do, I hate the fact that our generation allows what they do to even exist. I don't hate Kesha, I hate "us" for liking her to make her famous.
@LightBrand Wait, wait, wait. Did you just reduce sports to NBA??? Then deduced that sports started in the 40's?????? What history did you read, boy?
Secondly, you need to broaden your view, you accept socially-respected jobs because of conformation, not because they have more meaning or anything, i.e. you're being a tool. Researchers are basically shit-tier, yet without them glamorous doctors would not do shit. Want something to hate try the military, cosmetics, fashion-designers, furniture,..
@LightBrand People get paid for doing push ups. Skipping is a form of exercise very predominately used to tone muscle for muscular models.
Sports will forever change. At one point people danced the Morris, it's a lot less popular now. Football (as in FOOT-ball, not I-pick-this-up-with-my-hands ball) is nearing a very dangerous point in its life-cycle. It has become money orientated, and people are staring to stray away from big-money clubs.
Both physical and e-sports can exist at the same time
This is a Canadian news report from CBC, if anyone was wondering. Notice how in Canada, the networks talk about StarCraft without making fun of it, unlike in America.
@jl1455 video games addiction does not exist, its usually as cocial problem, where ppl seek refuge in those games, bt the games do not cause the problem, you fuckin moron

Well you can't muta micro in SC2 the mechanics prevent it, and all the units bunch up together in clumps so its always one big army vs another big army....never about small individual engagements. No Lurkers, No Defiler Swarms, No Scourge micro, and u can max out super fast compared to BW. Technically its more noob friendly but allowing everything to be done in a click of a button or press of a key. Just my opinion. Like playing real BBall compared to Arcade BBall

@Kallosar How exactly does the game mechanics prevent you from microing mutalisks lol So playing BW is like playing basketball and playing SC2 is like playing a video game version of a basketball game, quite the metaphor.

Try taking out a marine force of about 30 Marines and 2 Medics with 11 Mutas and 1 Larva on BW. Very possible and easy if u micro right.....now try the same on Starcraft 2. Near Impossible.

FYI it is fun game and i'm korean but know this not all Koreans are good at Starcraft or only game that we play is Starcraft. How do i know that? i'm korean and i suck at Starcraft. I literally Starcraft. and don't say shit about pro gamers. They win at life. They earn money while doing something fun for their lives and killing lots of SPERMS..

Well, I wont blame/laugh at these "pro gamers" for what they do. Big companies are only sponsoring them and providing their meal ticket because they are indeed marketable.
Meaning there are idiots out there who would watch this shit.
If nobody in Korea gives a fuck if you are good at StarCraft. Pro gamer would be a joke there, there wouldn't even be a thing called "pro gamer" you'd just be at home playing game.
And make no mistake, these nerds aren't the nerds who score high in school.
LightBrand 10 months ago
@LightBrand well, the same can be said to ANY professional sport right? If nobody gives a fuck for watching football/basketball/baseball/etc, then these "professional players" wouldn't be making their 7 figure salary every year and they would be a joke. They would be just some high school drop outs playing the sport they love for longs hour for nothing.

@Yavin1v And that is why our society is going down hill with this generation.
Imagine your parent's childhood, and your grandparents, within their generation they went from playing with rocks into television, computer and Internet. Do you realize how big of a jump they've made during their lifetime?
Do you imagine YOUR kids' childhood to be any different from yours? I doubt it, he'll be playing video game the same way you are now. This generation is going flat when playing VG gets a job.

@LightBrand you have completely ignored what i said, its a sport, sports have existed for ages and that hasnt hampered progress, you are generalising....

@Yavin1v Ages NBA dated back to merely the 40s. That's when I "generalize" where you can actually get paid to do what's meant to be a "hobby".
Hey, maybe we can turn jump rope into a paying career as well, how about doing push-ups? Why not getting paid to make youtube video oh wait you can already do that.
I'm telling you man, I don't hate what they do, I hate the fact that our generation allows what they do to even exist. I don't hate Kesha, I hate "us" for liking her to make her famous.
LightBrand 7 months ago
@LightBrand If people are willing to pay money to watch you jump rope or do push ups, then why can't that be a professional sport?
NightHawk92929 6 months ago
@LightBrand Wait, wait, wait. Did you just reduce sports to NBA??? Then deduced that sports started in the 40's?????? What history did you read, boy?
Secondly, you need to broaden your view, you accept socially-respected jobs because of conformation, not because they have more meaning or anything, i.e. you're being a tool. Researchers are basically shit-tier, yet without them glamorous doctors would not do shit. Want something to hate try the military, cosmetics, fashion-designers, furniture,..

@LightBrand People get paid for doing push ups. Skipping is a form of exercise very predominately used to tone muscle for muscular models.
Sports will forever change. At one point people danced the Morris, it's a lot less popular now. Football (as in FOOT-ball, not I-pick-this-up-with-my-hands ball) is nearing a very dangerous point in its life-cycle. It has become money orientated, and people are staring to stray away from big-money clubs.
Both physical and e-sports can exist at the same time

This is a Canadian news report from CBC, if anyone was wondering. Notice how in Canada, the networks talk about StarCraft without making fun of it, unlike in America.

The only difference between Esports - such as starcraft - and physical sports is the physical part. But still, requires skill to become famous.
