I'm going to be doing a similar presentation soon at a convention (Con Quest) at Umass Amherst, any objection if I use some material from your video? I really liked where you went with a few of the parts.
Hey, I go to Hampshire College and I would love to see this presentation! Can you link some information to this event?

As a passionate about speehes, maybe I would change quite a few of the things you said to a better explanation, but that would be getting into too much detail.
One tip tho, walk around the stage, dont leave your feet rooted to the ground. If you move around, you will own the stage and feel better, it also gives you time to think and breathe. Otherwise it looks like you are trapped.
Keep going

Excellent job! I remember when our UCLA Csl team was preparing to come down to that event! I couldn't make it but now I wish I had!
Great job.

Execllent talk. Only complaint I have is the whole stereotyping you seem to be doing, for instance against the "jock" culture in FPS games. I agree, absolutely, but it kind of makes you seem like a nerd, heavily biased.
Other than that I think this was amazing, and I really applaud you for having this talk. I don't know how big the crowd was, but I had issues holding lectures for a small class of 20, so I can only imagine what this was like for you.

Pretty much my though, you presented it well and made it sexy (especially the part with the photo with the guys and his team mates behind me, that's ESPORTS yeah !) but i think you went a little bit overboard with the nerd card.
Like you said, we all hope one day esports will be looked at like any other regular sports and that's why we have to step out of our comfort "nerdy" zone.
Great job overall, i've always taken every opportunity i had to talk about esports, wether it's an class doing a presentation or while being to drunk at a party and forgetting that this girl asking about it doesn't want to hear a full 15min speech about how awesome esports is.
I hope this gets a lot of views on TED.com, keep raising the awareness of ESPORTS !!!

Thx for sharing this love for Starcraft and e-Sports!

Just curious...what Incontrol interview are you guys talking about?

Tears in my eyes. That was so inspirational, thank you.

damn! you speak out for me, truly a e-sport hero!
I mean it's people like you and day9 and other people who speak out about e-sport that are gonna change the stereotype of the gaming community
|
That was really awesome! I love hearing people talk about love of esports. It makes me remember how much I love esports.

I bet this took a lot of guts to get up there and do, not knowing what kind of reception you would receive. Thanks for taking initiative and helping spread ESPORTS!
