Also heard that the next Asian Games in South Korea may have e-sports (looks like each of the host country can choose to add a sport in their favor, then the e-sports scene in South Korea should be useful), I wish i could still play starcraft at that time
Electronic Sports hwaiting, may she get into international sport events ASAP!

google translate it.

TIME TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO INSTEAD SEEING LEE CHONG WEI GETTING SMACKED BY LIN DAN!

instead we will see our best sc2 getting pwn by oGs?

lol joking

What i mean is... to show malaysian what gamers can do instead of just seeing lee chong wei play badminton...since everyone is just "rely" on him only if u get what i mean.

its a good thing at least it would finally be a 'sport' especially for the younger generations...

now play games also can get Datuk.

yes i get ur meaning

Older people are going to scream and panic at the sight of gaming being a sport

4 years, gotta work my ass out now to have the chance to join XD lol, my parents will faint if they realized gaming can go olympic oso. lolol

but if S korea place this sport, its an instant win for korea. sure gold silver bronze all korea take finish....-.- SCBW 3 medals, SC2 3 medals lol....other countries wont have any chance, malaysia.....can qualify den can celebrate d...XD no Dato for us =(

Haha... for this Blizzard nid to do promo/admend the retail price a bit..

250 +/- is a bit pricey for young Malaysian ;p

It's the same. Loner will smack any Malaysian starcrafter also.

lol.........any quarter finalist of GSL 1,2,3 will hhhuuurrrtttt any other country's players badly. if they put brood war instead of SC2, its more domination. at least if sc2 still got f91, sen, luffy, loner (china players) who can.......qualify?

i can gurantee semi is all korean semi.
malaysia ? doubt can pass qualify round.

there are some good msian players like renson (see his rank in NA) etc...
dun stereotype that always korean > all...

Looking at GSL even the famous sen cant get pass 32

Are there any players in malaysia that can match sen? What about the blizzard invitational only Thai and Aus made it.

i know renson,cobo risen is good but we are talking about GSL player standard.
Do you honestly think our malaysia player can pass through round 1?

currently korean > all.....till a non korean can get into final of gsl...or if there are any other competitions outside of korea that is better standard than gsl...not to mention those sc2 korean players are only 2nd class players broodwar (retired progamers or B team members)

Damn just like one even in Asia games this time called wei qi, the top 3 were won by professional countries. How can amature beat professionals if they can those professionals can pack up go home and sell fruit or box themselves in boxes waiting to be shifted as fruits.

is it me only or your english is actually quite complicated for me to understand.

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.

Added on November 29, 2010, 1:53 pmif you've been through pro-gaming scene even as a fan, like WoW or even FPSs pro-gaming, you'll know that there are PLENTIFUL of sponsored teams/companies/clans etc.

what isnt there, is malaysia

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...

well at least it won't be "Korean will fill all semi-final slots", "Korean will get gold,silver,bronze"

but E sports here doesn't just mean SC2 right? will be other game as well?

yup...
its other games which japan, china, philiphines and other countries are good at ...
if true i want SSF4 !!!

if its true, then i can't wait to see how our local TV commentator (read: TV1) will do the live coverage of it lol

tat would be a disaster if they translate it to malay

true.

korean will get to choose wat game they want as they are host...i dun think korea can fit alot of game titles...at most 3 but we shud be happy if theres even 1....

and put ur foot into koreans shoe, wat games will you choose, a game with equal skill level with other country like War3, SSF4.......or broodwar.

anyway, no point argueing about the brood war or not stuff. if its for esport, its gooding.

wehh duh thats your problem lol.

ill let you know that before sc2, WoW was the highest prize pot esport (not to be confused with highest income one can earn annually, in which case that still goes to sc1) or money involved per event.

surprising? you may check out the 75k (25k per member as per team consist of 3 members) prizepot for the WoW tourney at blizzcon. even SC1/War3 never ever yield that high

and hell, even for sc1, the money/income are mostly from sponsors/other sources and not from sc1 tournaments directly itself.
