He's not going to win of course, but that's pretty cool to have someone like him support a tournament, congrats .

Haha, awesome! I don't expect him to do well, but he can definitely improve a lot if he trains hard by the pros.

Kudos for Hayward, we need stars from other sports to big our community bigger.

The guy will bring huge exposure to SC2. But, yeah, hey'll probably get rolled by round 2 (I think Open is double elim?), but this is a starting player in the NBA, who made 2.5 million on his rookie contract last year. This is *wonderful* for NA exposure.

This is an awesome piece of news. Obviously he won't go far in the tourney, but as far a publicity stunts go (and I say that without the negative connotation), this is exactly the kind of awesomeness I like to see.
"power overwhelming"... work, dammit, work!

Sick, anything that provides more coverage of successful people and nonnerds in video games is awesome.

Nik Lentz, a pro MMA and UFC contract fighter is also huge into eSPORTS and SC2. He attended Raleigh and tweets just about everyday about SC2. @Niklentz if you wanna check it out. I think it's awesome that people outside the 'nerd' realm are starting to get into our little world!

I've watched Hayward stream team games and it was always funny, I wish him all the best!

This phrase gets thrown around too much, but this is a bonafide case of something that is good for E-Sports. Cross-pollination is something this industry needs more of, and it draws a lot of new eyes to the sport we love !

Hopefully his opponents are good sports and don't just humiliate him but make it a good game.

People don't really talk about what is "good for e-sport", the phrase is: "It's HURTING E-SPORT!!"

Whats even more surprising to me is that White dudes still play in the NBA.

I'm pretty sure he'll just be there for fun, otherwise he will be very disappointed.
Still this is amazing to have someone from mainstream sports who likes SC2 enough to show up at live events.

Edit: I'm a huge NBA fan so this is really cool for me. I told all my friends and they weren't as impressed as me lol.


He was Gold a few months ago, I think he's Plat now. Chill and Zergman and a few other people have been coaching him and helping him improve.

CHiiiiiill FTW :D Make him a gosu!

Wow, I don't know who the hell that is, but still fucking amazing exposure for esports. Guess it would be like Nani or Rooney turning up for an i-series event in the UK and competing ?

Lets hope he can master the 1:1:1


Well not quite Rooney or Nani, but more of a Welbeck player... I think at least. Ya he is younger player only played one season so far. But an interesting guy and he was picked 9th overall in the draft which is pretty damn good.
Maybe more of a Ashley Young player... haven't seen him play so around that.
STILL VERY COOL!

NO! He's Plat! :x
I bet he can force a Ragequit with a good prepared Bunker-Rush against IdrA :D
