QUOTE(fujkenasai @ Nov 28 2010, 10:26 PM) Looking at GSL even the famous sen cant get pass 32 as others put it, he is nt who he used to be...Are there any players in malaysia that can match sen? What about the blizzard invitational only Thai and Aus made it. 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 This post has been edited by evofantasy: Nov 28 2010, 11:53 PM |

QUOTE(fujkenasai @ Nov 29 2010, 11:50 AM) Me England broken. when it is a recognise 'sport' i think the dedication would be there dun u think?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. current issue are sponsors etc since its nt really recognise here... |

QUOTE(fujkenasai @ Nov 29 2010, 12:16 PM) 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. wit sponsors, the players would be able to focus more and provide the dedication imho...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. 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... |

QUOTE(quest_5692 @ Nov 29 2010, 01:02 PM) 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... QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Nov 29 2010, 01:50 PM) doesnt matter what the issue is, people were just pointing out that it isnt possible for malaysia (yet). and thats that. this....Added on November 29, 2010, 1:53 pm if 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 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)...
