He's preparing :D
facing of in the flames n stuff, I almost SHAT bricks

It really doesn't, no one but a select group of 6 people likes that shitty game. Though I can't stand football, it at least has a big enough fanbase to be journal worthy.
now.

StarCraft is a popular online game in Korea. Its fanbase exceeds five million, and has two Korean-based channels dedicated to its broadcast.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Korea
Lets lay this down in a format even peons can understand;
1) eSports is the biggest in South Korea
2) Starcraft is the biggest competitive game in South Korea
conclusion: Starcraft is the biggest game in eSports.
haha, wouldn't expect anything less from an ESL admin
And yet, why do u think a country like south korea starts supporting wc3 aswell? Maybe the fanbase for sc gets kinda bored after how many years? Your source sounds like 2001 or 2002 or smth, when youve been 11/12?
like q3 takes a lot more skill than cs, i dont give a shit if someone likes q3 or not, fact is its a lot more skilled than cs
Probalby, you never played cs so you watched some demos from 2000 where some1 flamed cs and now you go with it, i dont care anyway, it just proves your age back then and now.
About SC:
"Professional StarCraft player Lim Yo-Hwan (SlayerS `BoxeR`) earned over $300,000 during the peak of his career." You forgot to quote this. Which means that source is in a year from 2003 to 2004. What do you think happened in the last years? Nothing? There are people calling WoW an eSports title...
Now for Wc3:
The game proved to be one of the most anticipated and popular computer game releases ever, with 4.5 million units shipped to retail stores and over one million units sold within a month.[3] Warcraft III won many awards including "Game of the Year" from more than six different publications.
Which exactly is a soruce from 2002.
There are more games successful than starcraft, and regarding the fact i rly bought the game about 1 year ago, so did others, you can guess that a number of 5 million coming from 1 country is not enough to prove the "biggest esports title" thingy
"The first game of the StarCraft series, it was released for Microsoft Windows on 31 March 1998.[1] With more than nine million copies sold worldwide as of 21 May 2007, it is one of the best-selling games for the personal computer."
Mmm. SC is more popular in Korea than W3, and W3 is newer...
sure youve been...
It was more ridical before your edit, but with 7 mins research ive proven you wrong.
edit: stop editing your comments, ive no doubt that sc is big in south korea
i said starcraft is more skilled than w3, probably why more people like it innit
You probalby cant even imagine that im watching both, wc3 and sc, that im watching cs, playing css, watching q4 and playing q3 with saying q4 has the better movement cause crourch slides are fun.
whats with this 4d0lf shit? is that this 'german humor' thing I've heard so much about?
probably since its so pathetically unfunny and doesn't really serve any real purpose
Lee Yun-Yeol (이윤열), also known as Red_NaDa , is a professional Korean StarCraft player who uses the Terran race. He is known for his excellent macromanagement, and his innovative strategies leading to his nickname, "Genius Terran". Statistically, he's the best player in history, having achieved the highest KeSPA score of any player before it was re-scaled. He has a consistent and dominating style, backed up with excellent macro. He has been on the team IS, KTF and now WeMade FOX, formerly known as Pantech EX and Toona SG.
He is the first of two players to ever win 3 OSLs and therefore win the Golden Mouse. In 2007, NaDa signed a new 3 year contract with Wemade for approximately $830,000 USD.[1]
yea starcraft is small
StarCraft
* StarCraft: Brood War – Real-Time Strategy (1vs1, 2vs2, PC)
This game has found a home in South Korea, where many play it professionally as a spectator sport. It is the most popular professionally played PC game due to its immense popularity in South Korea, where the best pro-gamers are seen as celebrities.
In Korea, Starcraft has leagues such as Ongamenet Starleague, MBC Starleague, and Proleague. Finals for these league attract tens of thousands of fans and are viewed on TV nationwide in millions.
StarCraft is the very first game to have been accepted into the World Cyber Games tournament and has a tournament at their events since inception. It also enjoys significant competitive popularity in the west as well.
before you think of saying something really fucking stupid, this is from 2008.
It was about 300k from 2003 and not about an 830k contract from 2007.
Youve been how old when sc was released? Seems like yet another one trapped in the past, grow up kid.
e: nice edit btw, why dont u keep your original comment? Was it too much flame? No, it was immature and proved me right. God thanks there are parents caring what their childrens do.
ps. starcraft is also unarguably the best spectator sport and most skilled game.
your edit cant help
i give up, you're too stupid, no need to bring myself down to mongol-level :)
damn i love myself
hey man
football was made in like the 1800's, YOU WERE LIKE -100 YEARS OLD THEN HAHAHAHAHAHA ADOLF HITLER KID HAHAHAHAAH
