Dying for StarCraft in South Korea

November 2003
South Koreans spend up to 12 hours a day playing computer games. It's an addiction that in some cases is proving fatal. It's estimated that there are more than a thousand professional 'gamers' in Korea. Most live in dormitories, spending virtually all their waking life in front of a computer screen. Computer companies spend millions supporting and training the gamers. But is this national sport really good for the country?

It's not as easy as it looks. I chose a game that had something to do with killer space maggots, and kept being beaten by someone called "The Rabbit"

The tone as well as the ludicrousness of the line is instant lols, especially for a starcraft gamer...

It looks like it was in the 1970'ies, Starcraft Broodwar was popular.
