I had the amazing privilege and opportunity to give a TEDx talk about ESPORTS and SC2 at my university, UC Irvine. It was very nerve racking but such an amazing opportunity to share my passion for the StarCraft and eSports community. I did a general overview of StarCraft and eSports and how it has affected my life. Hope you guys enjoy it, and feel free to leave your honest comments.
Please be sure to "like" and leave comments to the organization, TEDxUCI. Huge thanks to my speech/talk coach Barbara Seymour Giordano who kept an open mind about ESPORTS and helped shape my talk.
Hey man - i really liked it; it looked like a pretty cool opportunity and i think you sold it well. The only thing for me was i think you played the nerd card a bit too hard
This may sound random and uninformed - but what's the purpose of TEDx (as opposed to TED?) and how many people were there? That can be pretty daunting talking without prompts
You gave a good talk, shindigs. Raising awareness of ESPORTS in an academic setting is a very good thing and I'm honored to have been able to help out. Gonna go link this to a bunch of people now!
you presented this like a boss, only stumbling over a few lines. I have all the respect in the world for you. I think you did a great job and explaining an introductory lesson about everything starcraft related, not being too shallow or too in depth.
People like you are the reason the community has grown so much. Keep it up and you'll get the recognition you deserve.
This is awesome. I hope someone talks e-sports at my universities TEDx next month!! Gonna have to bug the guys in charge to see who the speakers are o.O

TEDx is an independently organized even with the TED name/branding. TED sends some videos and materials over to the organizations, but this event was all run by student volunteers.

PS: Are you going to be at IPL 4?
I'll be at IPL 4 for sure. Thanks so much for your pictures.
Loved this man. Recently gave a informative speech in my Intro to Communications class on Day9 and I remember going into it thinking, "I am about to tell fifty people about something that I truly love, and they will have no idea what I am talking about."
