Yeah, they have a few though that are pretty anti-SC so I was glad to see them land on this side of the fence as well. The entire bleep bloop series is video games so I think those guys are pretty sympathetic to the cause!

Aren't his APM quotes a little high? 450-500 apm sounds a bit far fetched. To my understanding from similar blog posts on TL the "fan girl moments" are reserved for the top players only.

Obviously he's going to exaggerate everything so it seems more impressive.

That was cute lol. Very nice segment even if everything torch said was not 100% accurate. A bit of exaggeration for pro Starcraft can't hurt . Spotlight worthy IMHO.

Yeah, there was a bit of exaggeration or Hollywooded a little, but it was sort of cool nontheless.

Cool video, I'd love to see this in the spotlight.

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.

Damn right, his factual style gave the video some documentary value, while the other four provided some levity. No need to downplay the efforts and achievements of individual gamers, or the proscene in general, because you fear how you'd look. Far better to be confident and proud of what you do!

Btw, I also like that he didn't have to think long before answering questions, while being in game.
Focus on two things at once shows mental power. :p

Dear god, that was intense, was hoping they knew how to play starcraft for more action, but still fun to watch.
Stay gold.

maybe for himself, but some top pros do have 450+ APM if you think about the real minutes instead of SC2's minutes. And I'm guessing hes referring to SC1 with the fan girl moments, however even Tasteless and Artosis have been saying they're getting spotted on the street for the GSL now. The bulk of the fan girls, it seems, are still cheering for their BW players, once they transfer over though SC2 progamer popularity will rise alot, especially since SC2 pros show alot more emotion compared with Star1.

Also TorcH, if you read this thread thank you for getting Star2 out there!

torch is so well spoken, seems like a really genuine guy so I was satisfied with what he said in this video

but 250-300 apm? Maybe if it counted like BW APM lol.

I think that just depends on the player. Guys like Stork, Firebathero and theROCK have no problem showing emotion. I think most players are either too shy or too humble.
