I actually don't know much about it but I do know that most fighters have unique styles and excel in different areas of their "game". If I did mess up my example then I'm sorry. | ||

JP needs to tighten up the show thats funny because a lot of other people were complaining about how stiff the show has become with the lack of "banter" and what not and that JP was being too strict as a host. different strokes. | ||

There I fixed your post to make you seem like less of a pretentious douchebag. | ||

Asserting that the only difference between SC2 blowing up and Poker is that one was put on TV is a hilarious oversimplification and displays a level of real-world analytical ability that I've come to expect from the simpletons of the SC2 community. yeah dude calm down were on an internet forum not at university of course we all want starcraft to grow because were the community of that AWESOME GAME on your points i think it is quite true what riksen said about poker becoming much more popular because it was put on tv ( noone can argue about that i think) also i dont think starcraft is that hard to get into (watching and kinda understanding whats going on) its just as soccer or something like that 2 parties battle it out and in the end you have a clear score determining who won EDIT: also : why would you bash the community on a community sit thats really quite dumb | ||

Podcast only is decent anyways, if it gets uploaded.. which i hope it does, or it screws up the whole idea of the show for europeans.. Yes, I know the show devalues if the VOD/MP3 is uploaded an extra day after than the actual cast. I don't know how you can live for that extra day.

Asserting that the only difference between SC2 blowing up and Poker is that one was put on TV is a hilarious oversimplification and displays a level of real-world analytical ability that I've come to expect from the simpletons of the SC2 community. Well, since you admit that you don't play or like poker, I'll assume you're fairly ignorant of it. There is a reason the poker boom was referred to as the "Moneymaker effect". Watching him (an amateur) win the WSOP main event on TV vs a pro is pretty much unanimously agreed upon as the single biggest catalyst for the poker boom. I don't think it's a coincidence that the main event was won pretty much exclusively by amateurs for the next several years, and then young online pros the last few (who were probably members of the boom themselves). I very much doubt poker would be where it was today without that original broadcast in 2003. I agree with your points about viewability, to an extent. I think Starcraft can be viewed similarly to mainstream sports like baseball, football (both kinds), etc. Tbh, do many people watch sports and really even bother with the underlying strategy? I don't. I mean, I know it's there, and I even know a little about it, but I don't really care about it. I feel like a lot of people can't really make that leap with Starcraft because they're also players. As such, you can't really separate the strategy, but that's not a bad thing anyway. Knowing what's going on enhances the viewing experience for me in Starcraft, but at the same time, it doesn't detract for me at all in other sports where I'm much less knowledgeable. I'd love to hear opinions on the game of people who watched the game without playing. I don't think I ever really had that experience with SC2, so I can't really pass judgment. | ||

This assertion implies that there weren't a myriad of factors equally important to TV that contributed to the "poker boom". Yet you keep posting. And you attempt to sound like a mature adult, but miss the mark. From someone who watches Starcraft with people who don't play quite often, I can tell you that you are totally incorrect. My friends and girl-friend do not care about builds, unit cost or the abilities of each unit. They understand that the guy with more stuff is winning, that taking an early expansion is risky and banelings are awesome when they explode. What they don't get, the casters take care of. You are correct on one fact though, they do care about the drama and the tension. They know Idra, HUK and all the other characters in the community. They know that HUK makes hearts with waypoints in the opening and has excellent control. They cheer for MKP beause of how emotional he is. Football is complicated, ask anyone who has a fantasy football team. That doesn't stop it from being the one of the most popular sports in the US. Starcraft can find its place on TV too. Why? Because there was room for poker and national spelling-Bs. | ||
