Yah pretty much, and furthermore, pvp and fourgate, really? The worst the game has to offer?
Man 6pool would've been better at this point.

Blizzard cannot into marketing it seems.

It doesn't bother anybody else that he's constantly looking down at the keyboard?

"I'm the grandmaster..."


So awesome, I may have to start watching this show solely because of this. They could have had him playing Mw3 and jacking off like the vast majority of the audience, but they chose our niche game instead. Cool.

it's pretty early in the episode.. who would play on dual screen like that haha. just showing like hey check out my sweet pc .

i enjoyed it though, even if it gets 2 people to check out starcraft 2 it's worth it.

Pretty impressive that they even introduced some SC2 lingo (4 gate rush). Yeah APM seems low but on the other hand spamming like crazy may make the scene awkward for the regular audience

It reminds me a bit of the time when the Gameboy was really hot in a lot of tv series. You know, a kid would be playing the gameboy and you would hear all kinds of 8 bit noises (never from a real game). And always an adult would want to talk to the kid and the kid would put the gameboy away without objection... such unrealistic scenario... ("Nooo dad wait, I almost got through this level...")

I wouldn't say that it is esports growing, but it is ace to see Starcraft 2 shown on tv, especially when it is legit stuff that they are doing on it.

btw his apm is like silver-ish :V.

Normally people near a computer on TV are typing and hacking at 200+ apm, which they seemed to think was unneeded and would take away from the realism. Little did they know, that in this case 200 apm would be normal if he was really doing what he was portrayed to do.

He uses dual screen to play sc2 so the bottom and top cuts off so he cannot see minimap, supply or money.

Not a legit way to play.

also don't expect actors to have as quick hands as us gamers unless they were previously gamers/are gamers ^^
