Cool to see that he'll be there as a fan. As a player...

If he gets to 1v1 IdrA or actually just play in the event, I'm sorry but I have nothing else to say then that's just totally stupid and wrong. There's a spot going to him over a legit player who puts in a ton of time over him just playing in the event for a promotional reason?

Whatever. eSports man, yeah it's getting so cool.... I get to see IdrA bench press and a silver leaguer NBA player (really who cares?) play in a pro sc2 event, whats tomorrow?

eSports currently involves backlack, bad manner, and critizism. If Hayward wants to start playing sc2 in these pro events then he needs to take the good with the bad. He's a terrible starcraft 2 player, you shouldn't be there as a player Hayward. I hope I read the topic wrong/that he doesn't play.


^^^

This was under the assumption that it was invite only and that there was some pre set 1v1 match with IdrA which is just a waste of time.

I think this would appeal less to NBA fans (he hasn't really done anything yet in the NBA) and more to people who followed that year's crazy March Madness and Butler's incredible run (he was absolutely the darling of that whole tournament). I just hope this becomes more publicized...

And honestly, he should be working on his jump shot and getting stronger instead of practicing SC2. :D

It's nice that he's going to come and hang out and it's great publicity. Anyway, I wish him the best, but he is going to get manhandled. It's okay because we still <3 him and at least he tries!

This is awesome. As a fan of both traditional ball and stick sports and eSports, I love this kind of cross over. This is the kind of exposure it's going to take to get eSports in to the mainstream consciousness. People need to see "cool" people playing it and getting excited (not that the current pros aren't cool, they are, but I mean cool in the pop culture sense).

You realize the NBA is in a lockout right now, and he literally can't go to team facilities, right? I am sure he is working on his jump shot, but it's the off season and a lock out. Don't be a stick in the mud.

This is pretty sick awesome news! I love the basketball in general. I remember watching Butler through the NCAA in 2010 and the half court shot he took at the end of the championship. Really awesome to see him coming and supporting esports on such a big stage. Regardless of how he does, it'll be awesome for everyone!

Good luck, hope you win some while your there!

If you google "Gordon Hayward," the article about him going to IPL is the 5th result wooo exposure!

Yup, MLG is getting to the stage of being big enough that we could start a celebrity tournament to bring in fresh new faces especially for games like CoD. Do it for Charity and I'm sure they'll be all for it and come out of the wood work.

This is going to bring some exposure to eSports, because ESPN is constantly talking about what NBA stars are doing during the lockout, could we possibly see SC2 on ESPN for the first time? I think so.

YES SO AWESOME

I was wondering if Hayward's one-night stream was a one time thing, and he had gotten bored of interacting with the eSports community. But this obviously proves me wrong. And who cares who he plays or whether he wins or not?! It's freaking Gordon Hayward! <3

Guess who is now a hardcore Jazz fan?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Liquid get more Terrans please...

I can already see more NBA players making the switch.

Can't wait to see LeBron James play SC2.
