I, like many other people on IRC, am watching the WCG opening ceremony (Oh it's over now, thank god.). If you do NOT want your view on esports (and especially the wcg, assuming it is fairly positive right now) changed, DO NOT WATCH IT.

The horror that has come before me has ruined me. I am no longer innocent. I am going to set myself on fire.
Please.. don't watch it ;_; I love you all too much for you to be scarred like this.

For those who want to know what happened, but are too frightened to actually watch the opening ceremony

. It starts with epic fail by the commentators who for some reason can't distinguish flags and a black man that says hello 78 times.
It is briefly followed by a video of Cologne, showing completely irrelevant things,a speech from the president of Samsung electronics (which I suppose wasn't that bad), a speech by the mayor of cologne trying to pimp out Cologne for more events and an opera singer who has clearly never even bothered to read the lyrics, singing Beyond the Game, and last but not least, a virtual torch getting on stage and some failure fireworks.

BAHAHAAHHAHA
ITALIAN OPENING CEREMONIES
AND NOW YOU EXPERIENCE GERMAN OPENING CEREMONIES
BAHAHAHAHA
ENJOY IT
LOOOOOL
Enjoy the embarrassment you feel at being there. At being in the audience and thinking, AHHHHHHHHHH WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.
