Hey guys!

I'm in the process of building a presentation on eSports. I am studying Software Engineering and the main aspect of this presentation is how software development has the ability to create an entire industry and I will be using Korean eSports as the main topic.

Now I need some suggestions for photographs you think define eSports. Jaedong kissing a trophy, 10,000 spectators in a stadium, a PC bang filled with gamers etc.

What do you think?

Make sure to use a picture from the Korean Air OSL Finals player entrance! huge number of fans in a massive hangar and players entering via jumbo jet is epic.

If you can find a bigger version of this: [image loading]

That would be good, not to forget NeverGG has a large archive of photos listed on this website that you can use.
In addition, remember that its not only Starcraft that is big in Korea, there where a number of leagues for Kart Rider and DnF.

oh holy shit GTR, good call.

This. I love the Entus house and this should be plenty evidence.

Awesome, some great ideas here. The CJ House is a definite must, same with the Korean Air OSL finals.

Haha good call on the Boxer photo, that will be tough to explain that one!

And of course I'll be including the teamliquid logo

being an FPS fan..

Team carbon 09 (defy, walshy, shockwave, naded
some backstory:
+ Show Spoiler +

the guy standing up with his arms up is walshy, basically the most successful halo player in the game. he'd been playing and winning since halo 1 and in halo 3 his old team, final boss (THE halo team) kicked him off. In halo 2 there were 2 dominant teams, Final Boss and Carbon. Walshy joins carbon in halo 3 and defeats his old team final boss at the LB finals to face the then #1 team. basically his moment of triumph since he hadnt done much in halo 3 and neither had carbon.
being a carbon fan i was ecstatic.

its that victory feeling where you're like, i finally did it that makes this so defining for me.
