Describing esports in Korea:

Esports would have been mainstream in Korea if it wasn't a completly new thing. By that I mean that, despite its popularity, it took corporate sponsors several years to start investing in it. Tournament organizers had no experience, managers didn't have a clue what they were doing. It takes years to build an infrastructure that established sports have had for decades. I believe that when a new game comes out, a game as popular as BW was, the true potential of esport will be reached. Then eSports will be mainstream,and maybe not just in korea but internationally.



Would have, could have. I'd say it did pretty darn good with the success it did have. The next few lines are hilarious because to this day lots of guys and gals are still trying to figure it out. The difference now is our tech. You think experience would be on our side but shit. We still have a long way to go and some people are learning very slow, but that ties into the new technology and social media we have.

It's not just our scene either. Lots of professional athletes are learning things like Facebook and Twitter the hard way.

Hhahahahahaahah, that's good.

I never followed BW at all in its heyday and I still enjoyed the hell out of this. Excellent article.

Great Interview. I gotta admit though I dont really remember watching his finals against H.O.T... I distinctively remember the finals of the King of Kings Tournament against [B&G]TheBoy though... Aww the memories... Why Blizz, why did you have to replace bw with mediocracy for some lousy dollars???? Such a shame.
