malaysia best player are risen, rason, other??

as others put it, he is nt who he used to be...
look at his last 3 tournaments including GSL...
to me sen is overrated LOL...

look at inca and top in dreamhack, they are not invincible...
even the good ones may falter...
nexgenius drop a match vs selectt, maka lost in blizzcon...

for GSL look at how many korean vs non-korean?
statistically they have the higher chance by a mile...

if every1 as pessimistic as u guys then might as well not join any sport "

boxer and fruitdealer

Me England broken.

I am not being pessimistic just that I believe if people from S.Korea trains and live in a hostel 350 days a year 12 hrs a day just playing starcraft 2 would loose to some college kids playing it when they have no assignment and lectures. Those so called professionals can box themselves as fruits and shipped to Nestlé and get processed into tea.

Edited: Unless there are some malaysians deticated enuf to do that I do not see that we have a chance in winning.

Finally Some 1 understands me.

when it is a recognise 'sport' i think the dedication would be there dun u think?
current issue are sponsors etc since its nt really recognise here...

There has been WCG every year which is kinda like the Olympics of cyber games but see how many are as dedicated as the S.Koreans.

This is not only dedication but also financial support too.

Deep down I do hope that this will come true but through experience I really doubt.

wit sponsors, the players would be able to focus more and provide the dedication imho...
i think WCG is dying, no1 really knw about it besides gamers in msia and the prize pool is just terribad...
this is totally different than if its a legitimate sport for asian games or something...

wow ~ this news is too good to be true

bro evo....u do know that such sponsor is only legit in S korea currently...outside of SK, only the little app factory sponsoring team liquid, i dno who sponsors EG, till now, still 0 big company sponsors E sport. while in SK, companies who sponsors Esport are really really big names like SK telecom....its like.......telekom malaysia, maxis, astro sponsoring starcraft teams to compete in leagues, pay the players to wear their jersey during competition as advertisements on Live TV broadcast.....not to mention malaysia, the next country possible would be China, Germany or Sweden only....which also will take few years...

Well, it's just matter of time for everything in Malaysia, look at unifi, 20mbps, while singapore already have 1gbps =\

are you serious man? 1GBPS !!?? in Sing ?

10 Yrs ago Hong Kong already had 20 meg so another 20 Yrs? 2020?

intel and msi sponser EG

Japan already have 93gbps so what do you think?
It's announced by Starhub last year, or maybe 2.

doesnt matter what the issue is, people were just pointing out that it isnt possible for malaysia (yet). and thats that.

well they can impose a rule like "a country can only send 2 representatives" just like the diving competition

but that is, IF this E-sport really gonna make it into the games

do u think it will make a difference....

this....
i follow quite a number of competitive gaming scenes are sponsors are aplenty, just not in malaysia like wut quaz said...
daigo was personally sponsored by madcat even lol...

EG have sponsors from intel, msi, steelseries and some other small sponsors (depending on game)...
they have justin wong (2nd best SSF4 player in the world) in their team as well and he was sponsored wit another set of sponsors for SSF4...

if e-sport is a legitimate spot, pro players could earn income by coaching as well (incontrol, justin wong etc)...

as i said, people are too stereotype that the only esport is korea...
only in korea u can make a living out of esport when there are people doing the same for US and EU...
and if esport is a legitimate sport, korea would win everything easily...
its totally not the case (maybe for starcraft but other countries do beat korean players from time to time as well)...

Not true, business looks for any opportunity to get their brand know to the public. If the event isnt popular enough then they will not support.

Then I guess the most popular cyber sport is dota in Malaysia but then again not that many company supports them. Would any team play dota 100% in Malaysia?

Its not Malaysian culture to pursue their hobby to their fullest. Even for Asian games are there any professional athlete from Malaysia. That is people who earn a living through that sport. Well not yet, and they cant earn nearly enough to earn a living.

ok, maybe i stereotype too much in starcraft = esport. its legit for other games in Esport (etc. SF4, FPS....) to have tons of sponsors worldwide but in sc.....till now only a few big names outside of korea...especially brood war...
