So ridiculously awesome. When I started watching broodwar, I thought I'd have grown children before this day came.
This is a man with massive balls. Huge respect. Gordon fighting.
Fuck that cbs sports writer with the nerd alert article.
Also, count me in with the crowd that wants a spacecraft2 tshirt.
EDIT: Part of my post was bullshit. I should not try to think at this hour. Otherwise, does anyone know his handle? I'm not sure which player to look for.

So fucking awesome, we need LeBron to play SC2, so we can watch him choke =D
I know this 39 year old guy, pure bussiness man, think Wall Street Michael Douglas, was talking to him about boring shit, like the economy. He made it very clear that he dosent game, then later on out of nowhere he says "but i play League of Legends on a nightly basis" i was stunned. So many people are gamers and they dont even know
Gaming is everywhere

You've completely missed the point. He's an NBA player and was the star of a cinderella Butler team that barely lost to Duke in the NCAA championship tournament game. It's not publicity for him, it publicty for Esports.
|
The ESPN interview is actually awesome, and is very professional
but in the other is this dude giving the interview serious? SpaceCraft? Then asking if his gf was virtual? This dude is seriously should not be allowed to interview professionals since he can't even act like one..
|
This is great for him, IGN and SC2..
I hope he wins some games tho, he doesn't stand a chance much like any pro player would lose against him playing basketball but he will help get attention and get esports a bit more mainstream!
I really like this kid, seems a nice and humble guy, I will root for him in the NBA!
gj dude

If a Premiership footballer came into the public sphere as a Starcraft player, it'd be front page news.
This is pretty big.
|
haha this is quite the funny interview! wtf is it with the toilet? anybody know the show and can tell me if it's a running joke?
|
wonder if any premiership players do play haha
But yeh, getting quite a lot of advertisement from hayward!!!
Keep it up!!
|
Gordon you have officially taken over TL.
Congrats and I'm sure the interviews won't end there. In either case, I'm glad the guys at IGN contacted him as he is a great spokesperson for the game.
Cheers!
|
loving the attention esports is getting in the real world now.
|
after that trash interview von CBSsports it feels good to read this one.
|
|
A good piece from ESPN isn't surprising.
ESPN was partnered with MLG for a long time and MLG had it's own section on ESPN.com for a long time.
So I sorta expect eSports pieces from them.
|
Ugh, TalkSport, one of the most disgusting vile radio stations to exist. Owned by a horrible journalist as well. I refuse to support by watching.
|
I cracked up everytime he said spacecraft. Love how big this is getting!
|
This is so cool!

How many big NBA fans that read and follow this lads articles are into watching a competitive game of SC2? thats the point, to make those who are unaware of pro sc2, aware of it. How are you not getting this? And what does that accomplish? Yay, a bunch of sport jocks now know there's a competitive side to online gaming. Please explain how that will help, and how it will honestly help.
Dude, you know that a lot of 18-35 year olds both tend to like sports and video games, right? There's no contradiction there. I go to ESPN.com to read up about the Steelers. Not everyone lives in your imaginary 'I must live with one interest and it will characteristically define me' world.
But I guess you're just an arrogant nerd who will never admit that people who like sports are intelligent enough to comprehend your infinitely complex video game, right? I don't mean that seriously, but stereotypes work both ways.

You know this guy's saying "spacecraft" totally intentionally just to make sure it's super clear that he's uninformed about video games.
|
Sick interview. Good, unpretentious, un-douchey and funny interviewers. Gordon nailed it. ESPORTS.
