hey guys!
at university i have lecture about film-making. and for this lecture i had to write a synopsis about a film we would like to make. and i decided to write about a documentation about the korean starcraft scene.
i just wanted to share my intro with the german-speaking users here.
+ Show Spoiler +
Computerspiele werden nicht nur von den Jugendlichen in Deutschland gespielt. Die digitalen Wettkämpfe und Schlachten haben auf der ganzen Welt eine hohe Beliebtheit, sowohl unter Spielern als auch unter Zuschauern erlangt. Ein sehr gutes Beispiel hierfür sind die World Cyber Games, die digitalen Olympischen Spiele, die momentan auf deutschem Boden in Köln stattfinden. Gespielt wird neben diversen anderen Spielen auch Starcraft – ein Echtzeitstrategiespiel in dem drei konkurrierende Rassen um die Vorherrschaft im Universum kämpfen. Obwohl das Spiel der kalifornischen Entwicklerfirma Blizzard Entertainment schon mehr als 10 Jahre alt ist, gehört es nach wie vor zu den am meisten gespielten Titeln seines Genres. Für diese Langlebigkeit gibt es mehrere Gründe, aber der Wichtigste ist mit Sicherheit ein vergleichsweise kleines Land in Ostasien: Südkorea.
In keinem anderen Land der Welt haben Video- und Computerspiele und der damit verbundene E-Sport (Electronic Sport) einen derartig hohen Stellenwert wie in der Hightechgesellschaft Koreas, allen voran Starcraft, ein 10 Jahre altes Strategiespiel. Starcraft ist in Korea zu einer Art Volkssport avanciert – und das nicht nur für Profis. Eine ganze Generation spielt es. Online, allein oder in Teams.
Spiele laufen auf drei eigenen Programmen zur besten Sendezeit im Fernsehen. Erfolgreiche Profis können kaum unbehelligt einkaufen gehen, ohne erkannt zu werden: koreanische Popstars.
Unter den Jugendlichen dort kennt sie jeder: Lim Yo Hwan, Kim Taek Yong oder Lee Jae Dong. Was für aussenstehende Europäer klingt wie die Nebendarsteller eines fernöstlichen Martial Arts Filmes, sind für viele Koreaner die Helden ihrer Jugend – digitale Gladiatoren, die auf virtuellen Schlachtfeldern um Ruhm aber vor allem auch um beachtliche Preisgelder kämpfen: Keyboard statt Kickstiefel und BoxeR1) statt Ballack.
1) BoxeR: Nickname von Lim Yo Hwan, einem der erfolgreichsten Starcraftspieler aller Zeiten.
my lecturer has no clue about starcraft but he liked the intro very much. so i guess it's appropriate for non-players as well 
btw i wrote it in november (wcg date)

I think it's very good. Now I feel I'd like to read more. And that's basically what an intro is all about, isn't it?

You have paid attention to everything an intro about sc should contain. It´s a good read.

Any idea when the film will be finished? I'd be quite interested in that, and also in what your teacher says about it.

Well, very interesting to read. Please let us know when you have anything more to share. By the way, I would argue that Boxer is one of the most popular SC players ever but not exactly one of the most successful with regards to leagues won. He has only won 2 OSLs and 2 WCGs iirc. 
Though I have to say, personally I'd put Boxer above anyone else.
