I see my laptop in the background ?

Pretty decent video, it just confirmed what I was thinking, esports is growing fast.

Do you think it is? Or is Korea the only country where it is huge?

The North American Starcraft League was recently launched and appears to be pretty big drawing big names from all over the world. I can only see growth coming out of that.

makes me wonder how big south africa's StarCraft league can be ?
People still playing it ?
I havent played SC2 for months now .. finished single player and that was the end for me.

The way I see it, esports is like a train, starting it up is slow until it begins to build momentum, once it's got momentum nothing can stop it, unless it runs into a big fat titanium wall.

So hopefully SA's esports will start building more momentum

It's at a pretty decent size, it's not the same size as all the fps players playing in their clans competitively, but it's still pretty big for what it is
Although tbh I think theres very few oaks who are skilled enough to go play competitively in korea.

Only if they can operate at about 300 actions per minute, which I believe is at the lower end scale of Korean player speed

I've looked at vids of those blokes playing ... looking at their screens make me seasick

Maybe thats why they say SCII is more spectator friendly. Lots of stuff going on on the screen.
