FoXboss, I salute for your passion for want making Malaysia an e-sport country...but you should give up on this, unless you are super rich and willing to spend your own fortune to attract the new bloods or increase people's awareness of starcraft 2 competitive scene. Finding a reliable sponsor is quite difficult in Msia.
Starcraft, to be precise, 1v1 is never going to be big hit in Msia. It is all about team game. This is why DoTa or Counterstrike are so popular in Msia competitive scene.
People said that Starcraft 2 isn't popular in Msia is because its expensive price. Well, I doubt it it going to make any difference even it is free. Starcraft 1 was free and well-established and every cyber cafe have it, but then, how many players actually play 1v1 game? From my experience in my local town? None. It was all about custom maps. Same goes to Warcraft 3.
Although I like Starcraft2, there is always a time that I can't stop thinking like this, "Oh man, I just spent 2 hours on Starcraft 2 today..What have I done? I should use the 2 hours for doing something more productive such as earning more money or read some books and etc". Sound pretty pathetic, isn't it? I am actually going against what I like to do because of "money" mentality. I know my problem yet I can't discard it from my mind.
I may sound pessimistic here...but this is what I really thought about Msia SC2 competitive scene.
btw teamgame in malaysia especially dota is sickening~ sumtimes it cause fear to play in dota~ u own too hard ur opponent will find u and beat u u feed too hard ur teammate will find and beat u~ either way will kena beaten~ not to mention MMORPG too~ i been threaten outside FTZ by opposing clan leader bcoz guildwar in game~ @@
Wow...this is really depressing to hear that.
Just imagine you win the 1st place in Sc2, got the prize money, walk outside the arena, and you got surrounded by 2nd's gang and beat you down.
If you didn't know about that... those picture are taken from the past SMM grand final, and yes it was held in Malaysia, and yes those crowds are Malaysian.
btw in fxo2, have dodo who is 14 years old only playing in the tournament this time besides echo n rayzer who came all the way to penang... their dedication is <3
From Penang? Wow, that kind of dedication is indeed deserves respect.
