I don't expect sc bw to reach the level of football where everyone becomes a mindless zombie kicking and hitting other people with bricks because the other teams won their game . Seriously I am lucky broodwar is not at these level of fanaticism with other players stabbing each other just for a damn game . http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1209028/Man-stabbed-West-Ham-Millwall-fans-brawl-outside-stadium.html | ||

You still overestimate the popularity of BW if you think the PL grand finals is comparable to the Melbourne Cup or the Tour de France. It's not even close to those events, not in popularity or even cultural significance. | ||

Well yea according to Rekrul, people outside of Korea tends to underestimate the popularity of BW or videogaming in general in Korea. It exists and people know it exists, but it's still a niche. Still 6000 sounds good enough. | ||

Having said this, I'm glad there will be an 8th team. I wonder how Khan, STX and Stars will cope though. That is such a butchery of the word niche. Calling any sport with over 100,000 participants (let alone nearly 400,000!) in Australia as niche is ridiculous. You know that far more people spectate domestic football than domestic cricket on average, right - or is cricket a niche sport, too? Any sport other than rugby league or aussie rules could be considered niche by your logic. The fact is that you're trying to compare the incomparable: a sport enjoyed by billions of people of all ages and backgrounds with a computer game. 6,000 people at an OSL final is massive. I don't understand what you mean by wondering how Khan, STX and Stars will cope, either. They can at least pick up some of the rookies who will, inevitably, be left by the wayside when trying to compress three teams into one. Any team which has a large sponsor behind them is going to be fine. | ||

Basically Jaedong says he's doing alright. He's currently (at the time of the phone interview with Fomos anyway) in Ulsan, staying at home. He's spending quality time with his parents and friends. Some time ago he went on a 2 days 1 night trip by himself. Now he's at home reading books and practicing on Bnet with his teammates. He asks his fans not to worry about him. Fomos says they contacted Kespa and Jaedong is on the list of players who have declared their intention to attend tomorrow's (30th Sept) education seminar make-up session. So is Bisu, Hiya, Midas, Mind and Roro. Flash is on sick leave (recovering from surgery) so he's not attending. Lomo and Anytime are not on the list as of 29th Sept. Now before anyone panics about this, just wait and see what Fomos or DES has to say about this tomorrow. There should be some further explanation on this issue. As for other players who missed the initial seminar, Fomos didn't specify whether they're attending or not so we'll just have to wait for media articles/pictures tomorrow. http://www.fomos.kr/board/board.php?mode=read&keyno=120519&db=issue&cate=&page=1&field=&kwrd= http://www.fomos.kr/board/board.php?mode=read&keyno=120522&db=interview&cate=&page=1&field=&kwrd= | ||

Quick question: Lomo and Anytime haven't been on the list since April 29, or is this supposed to be September? | ||
