it all starts with general public perception.
without it, the so-called gaming community (not just sc2,but other platforms of gaming) will be tumbling into a decline and then lost its attractiveness.

i also was one of the participant of the Cyberfusion 2009 LAN party (which I survived,barely )...the gaming scene brought up by those guys over there absolutely blew my mind off.at that time,i was thinking...
"really,u guys bought ori games?talk about dedication.."

thus,when economy permits,i bought myself few games. to tell u the truth,my 1st ori game is of course...Starcraft 2! although it's on the free-play weekend that time,but what the heck...that's where i meet those guys from nDL.

& another thing about nDL,i was really taken aback when the founders of nDL were in fact, Malays. (sorry,had to go into racist mode a bit..but not in the threatening mode.just stating the obvious.) even during the cyberfusion '09 as well as spotgamers tourney,majority of the participants are Chinese,not Malays/Indians/etc.

my suggestion,if the e-sport scene can get more Malay players..it would bring more benefit to the overall scene.then,the local press would be more inclined to feature them in the papers (let's face it,most dailies are ignorant of e-sports..unless got some sort of achievement..)

btw,the most ripe & juicy place to incorporate e-sports are during the uni years..unfortunately,most of the public uni always block the connection to most online games.break that barrier,and more ppl (especially those in the 90's ppl) will be better exposed to online gaming & e-sports in general.

in the mean time,i'll do my part in promoting online gaming (for example, TF2 and SC2) to my juniors back in the uni,so that they'll be more interested in joining them.too many of them still only on laptops,playing PES

good lord!

A WALL OF TEXT!!!!!
RUN AWAY!!!

j/k

i'll take my time to read it later...but shouldn't this kind of thread go towards the general Gamers Hideout,not just SC2?

since i got my Youtube channel up & running, I got a few subscribers here & there. & while i admit, most of them who came to watch my casted replays are those who actually send replays to me, there are 2-3 ppl who actually dunno wtf is sc2 all about...they later msg/call/tell me to intro the game to them...on how to play,what unit(s),race..the like...

and i was like...Wow? really? u wanna learn the art of this game?that's awesome-sauce!!

so...before i can actually promote sc2 to others (them curious cats especially), i shud make some tutorial vids and post them on my channel....and i was hoping those seasoned players (u lot,who else? 5 seasons already yo!) would help me send replays of u playing games...doesn't matter if it is a winning or losing game..just want the replays showing/portraying the exact way to use those said units...not just turtle on 1 base,mass up units,then 1-A...

can u guys help me out on this? doesn't really matter if it's a high-level or lower-level play...i can edit things out
