One day, when todays gaming generation is 40, we'll sit and watch ESPN or whatever sports channel, and tell out kids about the good old e-sports heroes. (Yes I realize that a lot of gamers are 40 right now)

Amazing interview! so much respect for Hayward. LOL never thought i would ever see the words "starcraft" "Terran" "Protoss" and "Zerg" in the comments section of an article on ESPN. This is great!

99% percent sure that the hosts think that SpaceCraft is a lot like Space Invaders. "Dem gaming machinez!!!"

A lot better than the article that was 'in jest' though.

This guy is in high Platinum, with hopes of getting to diamond...
They might as well have been interviewing me as a professional basketball player as that adds up to some where at the middle school competitive level in basket ball in my mind:
Code S Some Code A (other major tournaments top 4) = NBA stars
Code A Some of B and top 25 or so in other major tournaments = You made it to the NBA, but your not a star
Grand Masters/competitive at tournaments, but very unlikely to win if someone if the above groups enter - College
Masters = High School
Diamond = Junior varsity
Plat = ?Middle school?
Gold- Pick up games a few times a year for fun only, not much experience prior

I'm happy to see a big site such as ESPN not frame SC2 as absolutely awful. Definitely good promotion for the game, gogo Gordon Hayward for SC2 promotion!

It's called publicity. No one wants to read an interview about you. People actually care about Gordon Hayward. Why do people get so sensitive when he's called a progamer, lol. Just chill and have fun.

Rockets forever... but I may have a soft spot for Jazz now even though the rivalry between the 2 are intense....

Also hes a big fan of the pro scene. For example lets say that the son of Bill Gates or someone played in chess tournaments at a local level. Compared to the professional players he would be lucky to take a game in 100 but if someone wants to get a sense on the scene and if he knows his stuff he would definitely be a better player to interview than a semi pro player who would easily beat him whenever.
