This is more and more going from a real sport into american wrestling with predecided victors and speeches written by some off camera guy to increase drama. If the only way to grow is to sell out and stop caring about starcraft, then skip it. The next step is proposing that you have to be good looking enough to get into a tournament. | ||

Well my point is that I think on the spectrum between caring about the actual games and the "sex appeal"/conduct of players Starcraft is still faaaaaaaaar on the side of the actual games. So don't be melodramatic  | ||

Masculinity/ femininity IS SEX APPEAL. Muscles are the core definition of what I think most people see as a masculine man... AKA Sex appeal. Do you not watch any commercials??? Muscles are masculinity which is SEX APPEAL. they actually arent everywhere. you're ignorant. | ||

Normally the man has a bit more muscles than a woman, not as much as incontrol but the dude doesnt look like 2008 idra either so yes, muscles does equal sex appeal, however it depends on the context/assumptions you use that statement in, meaning it probably means absolutely nothing since there is no way to actually define anything in this argument so actually, on second thought, i would say the correct answer is that *BOTH* of you are wrong | ||

He turned it from a game of old men in weird ass clothes to a sport kids wanted to play. Image isn't everything, but it's nearly everything. Without a good image, SCII will be relegated to the minority fringe. Purists are fine, but they have to understand that they can't ask for both, either SCII grows, and the image grows with it, or it stagnates and remains the game they currently love. | ||

 We'll have to wait years for pro gaming to go mainstream in the west. And the game/games could be totally different.StarCraft lives in the internet, supported by enthusiastic people who also play the game. It should not matter if we have hot looking guido pro gamers or not. It's a niche sport. | ||
