Think of the thing that that person is geekiest about, and just tell them starcraft is your ____ where ____ is that thing.

They might still give you shit but w/e.

Why do you have to defend yourself to anyone? If people look down on you for something you enjoy, fuck them. Pretty simple. If you enjoy video games, hang around other people who do too. If you're talking about a girl, pretty much all of them know that they have to put up with games these days. It's just a matter of not making her feel second fiddle.
Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

Savior would get mobbed in downtown Seoul, at least in his prime.
See Jaedong's shoe commercial
Hwasin's modeling for mens clothing
Having lots of gfs (Bisu good example) making lots of money (Bisu good example, 300K)

I think it's more the idea of 'nerd' that has to change, and it is, very quickly.

"I watch professional Korean Starcraft."

You don't have to sugarcoat it, defend it, explain it, or anything. It's not a big deal.

In my experience, when I tell friends about it, instead of deciding that I'm a loser, they just figure that there must be more to it than meets the eye. But maybe I just have cool friends =)
May the BeSt man win.

Negative. We take breaks for food and the bathroom.

just don't 'jump' on your friend when he says "lol u watch progaming???"

just take it in a cool chill out confident manner and say "Yeah"

And when your friend starts laughing, stare blankly at his eyes and just smile until he stops laughing

eventually he'll say "can I watch too?"

Same. I even got my friend who never plays SC to watch TSL with me. Of course there was alcohol involved, but it still counts IMO. He still talks about it fondly to this day and asks me when the next one is :D finally I can tell him RIGHT NOW :@@!!!

I was basically the 4th commentator those times though, because I would be giving back story and opinions on every player which I think helped to make it interesting for him. I made Draco out to be some evil pretentious bastard so it made the finals pretty drat exciting when JF came out from behind.
LEGEND!! LEGEND!!
