Pro Starcraft

[lokolp]

Anyone else into Korean pro Starcraft or just Starcraft in general?

I played it a lot a few years ago, but I haven't touched it for a while. I was never into the online stuff either - just single player for me. Great game though.

No but when I was in Korea I was amazed that they had a TV channel that seemed to cover it 24/7.

I just googled this because I had no idea that Professional Starcraft existed... this is actually a thing... I am bewildered.

After so many years, I'm still amazed at how the commentators and fans call these professional gamers "cyber athletes".

Last time I checked a athlete is(quote dictionary.com): a person trained or gifted in exercises or contests involving physical agility, stamina, or strength; a participant in a sport, exercise, or game requiring physical skill.

Those Korean gamers look about as fit as a twig. I've had friends argue that they have superior arm strength and finger dexterity. Wan**rs...

Some people are claiming that this is a bogus story, but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be true: Starcraft in college!

Yeah, that Korean starcraft show is a trip. I was here when they first announced Starcraft 2 and you'd have thought it was....eh....I dunno what historical even to fit in here that makes sense...eh...lunar new year? Anyway they were crazy about it.
