Then I saw jose garcia(from the show lost) playing starcraft 2 and playing a PvP match on Metalopolis and holding off a 4 gate.

I am pretty happy how Esports is growing even on T.V shows for a quick second, I had a big smile on my face :D (I am sure someone will have a video on youtube sometime soon)

So a guy plays a game that just happens to be Starcraft, how does that mean E-sports are growing?

This is awesome, and it kind of makes me want to check the show out. I'm a fan of Jorge Garcia because of LOST; he gets bonus points from me for playing Protoss (and even more for looking like Goody!)

MC: 4 gate rush, huh?... child's play *walks stalkers down the ramp*
MC: that's all you've got? I'm the grandmaster
Genius: kekeke *proceeds to smash MC*

This was pretty cool, good to see more things like this in mainstream media, I thought it was awesome when he dropped the line, "Four gate rush... child's play...." =]

Judging by when this would have been filmed the meta-game is probably spot on.

Oh wait...

Nothing to be excited about, it's just a scene of a fat guy playing a game. As if you've never seen that before.

Hahah wow that was a decent, cute attempt at integrating it
His screen resolution (didnt show the entire bottom bar D: ) bothered me the most, but props!

as great as it is that they are showing sc2 on the tv, they just type casted the players as fat, morbidly obese jailers with nothing better to do, rather than lets say Demuslim who is attractive dude.

this is awesome lol, I've been watching all the episodes so this must be in the newest one. Also, in the Green Lantern movie when they first meet the villain he is in a room with 3 monitors and on one of them is an sc2 game showing some colossus lazering something.

If Desrow had long hair, he'd look just like that guy. Combined with the four gate... Just kidding ;P

That's actually pretty awesome. They showed the sc2 on screen for way longer than I would've thought. Did blizzard pay for that or something?

I know it's silly but what I noticed was he kept looking down... If you're playing vs a 4-gate your eyes are gonna be glued to the screen to micro and continually warp-in!

Its dumb, playing across 2 screens with the bottom of the UI cut off. Its a pretty worthless show off of what SC2 actually is.

this is awesome. I literally loled. its badass how SC2 is secretively working its way into television these days. I know a few months ago Sheldon from "The Big Bang Theory" sported a Zerg tee. Also, the best part of this is I actually have a friend named Jose Garcia :D
