I thought he was right when he said that players that are addicted aren't really competitive but I don't live in Korea so I don't really know. | ||

1. This is way better than a news article from a couple years back on BW. I got so angry when the lady said players control 1 of 3 tribes?!? 2. They should have done Nestea instead and got Artosis on. nuff said | ||

Ah, they were the days when we were looking at the undisputed best player in sc2. I don't know how long it will be until we see someone that far above again. So far this year there's no standout dominator. A lot of the players I thought would carry this year (MVP, DRG, MMA, MKP) haven't been at a consistently dominating level so far. Anyway, on topic (MVP) it was a nice news piece. I was sort of hoping they'd bring up his injury but it was sort of at the time where he was only starting to first mention it in interviews so I guess not. I really hope that he's getting it all sorted, given that he's not travelling to IPL TAC grand finals it feels like he must be at home for that very reason. | ||

Of course the problem for those involved is separating addiction from hobby and competition and career. The story doesn't try to draw a connection between eSports and addiction either, in fact it called eSports the bright side to mass-gaming (for lack of a better term). Plus, the prevention center was about engaging with the internet and games without losing control, not avoiding them altogether. Anyways, my favorite part was where MKP's middle school cut off internet because too many kids were watching him play instead of going back to class (crowd favorite from the beginning I see!). you can definitely get addicted to sports and exercising, much rarer than video games addictions for sure but its definitely a problem for some people. those people get high off of it, and shows almost all addiction signs. End up exerting themselves that it hurts them physically and mentally. | ||

IdrA, HuK, iNcontroL, Grubby, DRG, Sheth, NaNiWa, WhiteRa, and maybe DeMusliM? I just noticed that 4 of these are EG players... o.o Just a small comment, when you show shots of the game, make it look exciting and make sure that the player's race is in the screen and that a Terran player (because it was Mvp who was in the documentary) was the one selecting the units etc. and doing whatever. | ||
