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? | ||

I take it the block was hard to do? I was gonna write something out but frankly the most upvoted comment does it justice far better than I could. Anyone would expect the move to win the match. And as we can all see, Ken didn't just pull off the 15 consecutive ticks at the 15 right moments, he used the slight opening exposed as Chun-Li finished her move, and landed a combo on her that took away half of her life bar - and won the match. Under the high-stress world champion tournament situation. Is it surprising that he got a standing ovation and made fighting game history? Not to mention EVO is the olympics of fighting games, and they were playing for gold. Epic. | ||

Meanwhile Chun Li is using the super ability which is extremely fast. To do a full parry you have to hit a certain button and aim your stick in the exact direction that the incoming strike hits you. Basically you have to time and hit your buttons exactly in like 20 situations then reverse the situation to come back. Extremely difficult to do, but for a pro who has done it so much, he has surely seen the situation and parried it before, fact is that was during the semifinals of the largest fighting game tournament in the world, so the setting is pretty insane. | ||

Sorry guy, but you don't need to press any buttons to parry. All you need to do is press into the direction of the attack (i.e. forward or down). Everything else you said is spot on. =D It was an insane moment and what got me to play 3S. | ||

I always sorta wished there was a parry system in super, but then again that'd probably screw everything up so forget that lame idea | ||

Daigo is daigo (he reads people extremely well blah blah) Basically, round 1 of that match, daigo rapes justin round 2 justin beats daigo (daigo was playing stupid like c.mk xx shoryu regardless if c.mk was blocked or hit) Now before the super parry at round three, you see daigo throw an ex fireball then another regular fireball. Now that's just useless really in 3s given that justin can parry all that without pressure, but for you non-3s players, parrying gives you some super meter. daigo threw those ON PURPOSE so justin would get the meter to super because he knows Justin will try to chip him out. You can see before the super comes out daigo's ken inches forward, already expecting the super and land the parry. Also the presence of mind by daigo to jump at the last kick and parry for a maximum damage combo based on the situation instead of just normally parrying the last kick. | ||

Daigo is daigo (he reads people extremely well blah blah) Basically, round 1 of that match, daigo rapes justin round 2 justin beats daigo (daigo was playing stupid like c.mk xx shoryu regardless if c.mk was blocked or hit) Now before the super parry at round three, you see daigo throw an ex fireball then another regular fireball. Now that's just useless really in 3s given that justin can parry all that without pressure, but for you non-3s players, parrying gives you some super meter. daigo threw those ON PURPOSE so justin would get the meter to super because he knows Justin will try to chip him out. You can see before the super comes out daigo's ken inches forward, already expecting the super and land the parry. Also the presence of mind by daigo to jump at the last kick and parry for a maximum damage combo based on the situation instead of just normally parrying the last kick. That is awesome. I have seen the video before too, not being a SF player, but rewatching it and understanding the context makes it so much more enjoyable. Thank you! | ||

I take it the block was hard to do? for context, this is what chun li's special looks like if you dont parry it, it happens when you see her charge up and zooms in, she does it twice in the video To parry an attack you must move your controller the exact moment the attack hits, which is quite hard to do but obviously not impossible | ||

Gah, I was SUCH a hater at Na'Vi back in January/Februray 2010 when they won the IEM World Championships holy crap lol, I said it was a fluke, they had an easy bracket, etc. etc. Then in the following months you watch each and every tournament, see that markeloff is the greatest awper we've seen in years, that edward is completely unrivaled with the pistol, and starix is a genuine superstar. I'm a big fan of theirs now, I'm glad they destroyed fnatics prize money record and hope they continue to succeed this year. (Especially after one of the most thrilling finishes ever in WCG World Finals when they beat MTW in that triple overtime set, omg) | ||

Don't care what you guys say, a pixel comeback in a game where 90% of the stuff done can actually do chip damage is amazing. =) as for pics ![[image loading]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee287/myrmidon2537/4590_87917559748_845459748_1727227_7058820_n.jpg) I know it looks simple, but back when I was a newcomer to pro-BW (2007.. late I know T_T) hype pictures like these helped stir up interest at how such a community can be so awesome enough to do these things. | ||

For example, the hangar entrance. That was cool renting/using planes, also going down an elevator in a hangar. That Street Fighter game is really great. Wow..... I guess that would make him a "legend". Like, whenever you mention something, it automatically connects/refers to that certain person. | ||

Maybe later. :B No, Puff is actually considered top tier, difficult to make top tier though since survivability is low, but with a lot of proper air normals, puff is amazing. The down B attack is difficult to pull off but for a pro its actually natural, but a risky move which is why you won't see it much, it was just a combination of that being the finishing blow in a tournament with some hype involved, but there is really nothing special about that video. And if you guys are all going to be posting videos instead of the thread title of PHOTOS that define esports, and if yo'ure all going to be posting fighting game hype, you can't beat this. 15,000 dollar money match, another 42,000 dollars worth of side bets at the venue. | ||

I would say the picture of the massive crowd arena and the *many* tears shed would easily define the eSports of Korea. Many non-gamers have the perception that gamers are just rotting their lives away. To the professionals in Korea, this is their passion. Games aren't just a medium to escape reality. | ||

The hype was from that it was the finals and it was Armada (best European player) vs Mango (best american). Mango had dominated America for a long time and practically never lost, until this 16 year old kid from Sweden showed up and raped all of USA without effort, the only one that stod a chance was Mango. Armada was a few hits from victory (and becoming world champion), when Mango just said "Fuck it" and jumped and rested (down-B) Armada. It's the hardest move to land in the game pretty much, and if you miss it Jigglypuff will fall asleep for around 5-6 seconds, giving the opponent the chance to charge any attack and probably kill you.

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. lol the most successful halo player ever is ogre 2 by far mlg did a video about how he was the most successful halo player of all time | ||

The guy crying is boxer. The guy patting his back is iloveoov. iloveoov was like MMA in that he was someone no one had heard of, and then boxer took him under his wing, but oov had far more success than MMA. When boxer decided to create his own progaming team, there were 4 players, Boxer (the best terran), one of the best zergs, one of the best protosses, and some kid no one had ever heard of named iloveoov. So, back in 2001, boxer won two OSLs in a row, and made the final of the next one. OGN decided that if someone (aka boxer) was to win three lifetime osls they would win an additional trophy, the golden mouse. He lost that third finals in 2001, then lost in 2002. Then came 2004, where boxer played his protoge oov in the finals. The five game series (it was a Bo5) is still one of the best osls ever, and oov won it 3-2. That show was immediately after, with boxer crying about getting so close to the golden mouse and missing out. Boxer only made it to the finals one other time, and would never win the trophy that was specifically made for him. edit: oops, the guy patting his back is the coach. The third guy is oov. Keep in mind that this is oov's first osl, and just won $40000, and he still looks so sad. | ||

The guy crying is BoxeR. Behind him is his protégé, iloveoov, who just beat him in the finals of the Starleague. Although he just won a Starleague, iloveoov feels really sad to have defeated his master. | ||

I can't imagine the pressure/desire/determination boxer must've been struggling with trying to win. | ||

I love boxer as much as the next person; I had the privilege of speaking to him after MLG Anaheim - he's always been my favourite progamer, and he's a big reason of why SC2 exists in such a large way today. However, favouritism is still favouritism.. it's frustrating to see this picture and everyone herald him for it (instead of his many other achievements) when, if given the opportunity, every single computer would be taken by someone that would rather practice at the time. | ||

Under the high-stress world champion tournament situation. Is it surprising that he got a standing ovation and made fighting game history?
