I think the fundamental problem comes down to how spread out everyone is. Do you think i could get a progamer to work out every day remotely unless he was self motivated to do it himself? I think the ultimate solution is for all pro teams to move to one area but i haven't put enough thought into how realistic that idea is.

If there was a clause in their contract that they had to work out...but that might be more draconian than I like.

I think this has more to do with how the events are presented as opposed to gamer presentation.

For example in GSL(easlier seasons), Jinro looked awesome. GOMTV have stylists who spiked his hair, and made him look pretty damn good. Same with many of the other foreigners there...I recall KellyMilkies saying she had a really good time with the stylists at GOMTV.

As for other events it seems to me that the gamers are pretty much on their own, presentation-wise. The likelihood appears low that MLG, Dreamhack etc, would hire hairstylists, makeup artists etc.

Looks is a pretty subjective thing so one man's urban style is another man's ghetto. But who knows, maybe we'll start seeing players dress up in suit/tie but for now we'll probably just see plain clothes and/or casual wear for the foreseeable future.

I agree, if programers worked more on aesthetics, then they themselves could have more fans, and benefit themselves personally, the community, and e-sports in general, if more girls watched.

Naniwa wins so hard. Awesome.

But in all seriousness I think that the OP is true. Western idea of gamer is a hermit, someone who spends all their time alone, on their computer just doing pointless things. I think that sex appeal could give a false sense of respect but I think in order to truly get the respect we deserve we need proof that video games are positive on learning and skills much like music or the arts.

The foreign scene has style (much more than the korean scene). The problem you pointed out is one of image. The western progamer has the slovenly IMAGE. The only way to fix that is more exposure for esports.

A big yes. There is really no downside to keeping yourself in good shape and putting some effort to your appearance.

If the scene really cares enough to try and change the perception of a pro gamer, they should start by looking at EG and TL. Both teams have shining "nerd baller" examples. Fashionable, great at interviews, funny, popular with fans etc.

The western idea of hardcore gamers being unnatractive and unhealthy is true for the most part! Likely the reason why there are so few female fans in the foreigner scene compared to the asian scene.

The question is, should there be a concious effort to improve the appearance of western pro gamers? let's talk.


why the fuck do we want fans who are only fans for demuslim's hot sexy body? if we want more sc2 fans, i want them to think of the games first, the glistening pecs 2nd


So let me get this straight...you DON'T want a bunch of hot girls getting incredibly randy around you at an SC2 tournament? I mean, DeMuslim already has a very attractive girlfriend...he's not going to take them. They're there for you



What makes you think there will be "a bunch of hot girls getting incredibly randy around you" if a couple pro gamers go jogging some more? You are probably the kind of nerd who screams "OMG SHE'S SO HOT" every time you see any girl affiliated with a video game.

Looking better isn't only good for girls, better looking people get more exposure then ugly people. So look at the bigger picture. You're most likely not gonna become world ESPORT stars looking like the south park guy in the OP.




Name 5 western progamers who are overweight. What's that, you can only name one or two? Oh, so this entire thread is retarded? Thought so.

well to be fair a lot of the players would probably be considered "overweight" by medical standards. obese or unhealthily overweight though you are probably right

sheth, TT1, totalbiscuit.. Who else?

do you mean medically overweight or just fat? cause i would think a lot of pro gamers would be considered "overweight" in the bmi. its a pretty silly system but im just going by technicalities here anyways. i think most pro gamers have a pretty healthy weight. i'd actually say there are more that could stand from gaining some weight than losing weight
