It has some bits showing his APM and harassment. The three noobs he is facing are semi-professional comics so they have some pretty good personal commentary throughout. It's decently funny and worth a watch if for nothing else than seeing TorcH! Additionally he does his best to dispel the stereotypical gamer persona, so hopefully this changes the mindset of some of the viewers. The quicker that myth is dispelled the better!

i only see "Realistic Superhero Funeral" at that link
|
|
Oh yep, sorry about that. I watched that first, so that is the hotlink it went to. I'll update it now. Thanks for the catch!
|
although torch spoke like a nerd he portrayed the 'cool' side of gaming pretty well. congrats! good find
|
I think it's usually the image that defines a nerd. I'm sure if you saw a gamer who was also a body builder the term "Nerd" wouldn't even be brought up lol. But, this seems like a cool video so I'm going to be sure to check it out.
Thanks

Good publicity for Starcraft 2. I'm surprised how far competitive SC2 is getting out there in the main stream.
|
I laughed a few times Nice little game/interview thing. Cool that college humor is helping to spread the word
|
lots of mis information, SC isn't on the same level as baseball or any other tradition sports and no player has ever married a pop star, only Boxer has a girlfriend that's a recognizable actress
|
lol thanks for the link, it was funny!
god torch has a decent posture
|
Whoa, I didn't know ProGamers married pop stars in Korea Oo
|
That was awesome.
TorcH is so good with words.
|
I am pretty sure he said "Mirrored" popstars, not "Married" But I could be mistaken.
|
Torch eliminated me from MLG DC. What a bastard. Just kidding. I did take a game off him though so I can say I am better than those 3 random guys put together as well haha.

At first glance when I was worried watching because he was so into the game (i.e. taking it seriously and stomping face); it seemed like he was giving a very bad impression of "nerds." But as I continue to reflect on it, I am really glad he did this straight up without any self-deprecating humor or acting ashamed. It is really hard to be confident on such a large stage when a majority of people probably don't understand what he does on a daily basis.
It just shows this is serious business for people, rather than some anti-social kids a little too caught up in a "hobby." I really think he handled it well and despite some apparent mis-information I think he did a great job. I'll probably root for him a little harder in his upcoming matches

Pretty cool little video of TorcH though. Great find.

Interesting video. This isnt the first time CH has helped out the Starcraft community by giving exposure either. They have a few videos actually.
