I don't know if this has been posted before. It's part of the full show. It mostly covers Fatal1ty, but at the 7 minute mark it talks about South Korean E-Sports.

Ah I remember seeing this when it aired. Very biased, but it gets the point across to the masses, I suppose.

Not sure how you can call him overrated. He absolutely dominated the quake, doom, and painkiller scenes and made a ton of bank doing it. I don't think anyone still thinks of him as a dominant pro gamer in any popular games today, but when he was rolling he was rolling hard.

He's overrated because a lot of fans try to rank him across the board as a ridiculous gamer, or the first real progamer. Granted, in his element [fps death match type games] he was a complete beast, however this didn't make him an unstoppable gaming force. For instance he had a short stint cs 1.6 but ultimately decided it ' wasn't for him ' so he never got far in that game. People thought he could master any fps game he decided to pick up, but that wasn't the case.

It's cool and all and I'm happy for him that he did all that but he definitely didn't dominate like some of his fans indicate.

I heard Fatal1ty left 1.6, because he practiced all day, and other team mates weren't willing to practice that much. That might be untrue, but I just thought it was sort of funny.

EDIT: Although I agree he has a pretty big ego, and has sold out in a sense.

fatal1ty left 1.6 because it was a team game and he wasn't really into team games loool
i watched a hltv demo of his old team at some texas lan all he did was just save for an awp and used it like a railgun.

i also hate fatal1ty because he sold himself out big time

CPL has not pay those players/teams with there money yet. One of the esports member community email the investors from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and they never got a reply back from them. So this investors could be fake but will see once the news spread out in the community.

Man, Fatal1ty is so arrogant. The reason eSports hasn't caught on to a huge extent in America is because of the view that gamers get, and this arrogant punk.

I wish they could see it Korea's way.
Because he is Mantoss, the incarnation of masculinity and awesomeness.
