SC2 is a very resource heavy game and lets face it, only "elitist" can afford the setup to run it properly without lag and everything, that itself already hinders the development of the competitive community (Let us not talk about pricing since that is a whole other ballpark). That and like I said, team games > individual games in the Malaysian community.
it doesnt take an original sc2 copy to be an elitist, and sc2 if run is low setting, the spec requirement is just like wc3, u dont even have a pirated copy of sc2 now do u?lol

when got free processor . all join !! that is 1malaysia la .

like our gov BN . when got free gift all vote for BN !

this is exactly what happens back in the rural area of my home town, becuz ppl are uneducated there, they dont care about politic and what they care about is having enough food supplies cuz they are poor as hell. Hence, we can safely conclude most malaysian gamers are poor as hell and dont care of having a better gaming community because they think gaming should be restrictly confined in the internet since they have paid for the internet and waste no effort to pay more of it in real life. LOL

there's a big difference between: -
- trash talk for drama/ rivalry/ hype like idra, naniwa, mc etc (that's why they are damn famous and getting well paid)... SotG last week talked about this and even compared idra vs ret... both similar in skill but vast difference in followers/ fans/ sponsors/ salary...
- issuing threats like what dotards love... in sc2 one of such person which come to mind is combatEX... look at how the community in sc2 cast him aside until recently he realize how bad it is being shafted...
drama is what makes sc2 community interesting but its bad when having it overdone like combatex did. combatex now doesnt even dare to attend a tournament and giving phoney excuse that he has a life which is going to university and he is trying to bluff in an interview that hes not stopping until he gets a PhD, wtf right..
IMO, before i join any gaming tourney in my life. the way i thought of joining this kind of event is a waste of time and effort if i couldnt secure a nice place in a bracket. I might be realistic but after that, i feel like event like this brings people together are make any future event a better place to hang out with friends who have the same interest, but i think this only applies to sc2 tourney and most ppl dont realise this.
The difference people are viewing dota and sc2 tourneys is that dota is free and every one will join whereas (assuming registration fee is free in this case) for sc2 u need to pay for the original copy. Let me tell u this, team game like dota, most of the time u only hang around with your team mates either online or in the tourney. Tourney for dota wont improve the community futher like sc2 tourney does cuz dota playes would have their own circle of friends already in the tourney. However for sc2, players would not have the chance to see each other if wasnt for a tourney is held and believe me, seeing each other face to face and knowing thats the guy u met in battlenet is the way to make a better gaming community, well it could be the other way around which u meet the player in the tourney 1st and then proceed to to battlenet. And i dont believe dota players would have the same experience like this, not only dota players im talking about here, but also LoL, CS, and some other team games.
So, most of the guys here are right, malaysians prefer team games more, but this is as far as these guys know, and what they dont know is one of the reasons behind why they like team games more, because players are introverted as hell (which statistically is correct because the countries which have the most introverted people in the world in around south east asia and india) or there are too many people who play dota which u dont know who to mingle with, whereas for sc2 and SEA server particularly, the community is small and people are forced to mingle with each other just to have a better gaming experience. This is what makes dota players think tourney is just a chance for them to win money and forming a better gaming community is not even relevant for their interest, just like what this guy said

If you look at the CS scene right now, Team Hybrid won the recent WCG. Yet I can safely say 3 of their players did not touch CS 1.6 since the last WCG (I know them personally)
sorry i have taken your words out of the context.
and i have seen real cheapskates who buy other version of sc2 than the SEA one because it is a few bucks cheaper and they dont even think of join any local tourney at the 1st instance when they are going to start the game because they have no hope in the gaming community and they have this mindset of gaming is only restricted in the internet. I dont even know if this is worth saving that few bucks and play the game having the latency issue pretending to be happy
What I wanna say here is dont view sc2 tourney as the same as other team game tourney, it is completely different in a good way and it is worth while to join and it is not just about the prize...and try to be too demanding, i know its hard and im trying to break away from that
