He's the hero this community needs, and the hero this community deserves right now... so they'll call him supernerd, because he can take it. Because he's not a hero. He's a TeamLiquid member, a watchful protector of the swarm...an eSports freedomfighter.

Great speech, man. Loved the passion and loved the courage you showed through it. People like you are the exact reason why I'm proud to be a part of this community.

Excellent way to promote esports. Fantastic presentation, would u mind if I used some part of the vid in my Thesis on Esports?

Good job..!

more and more i start to hate that Nerd expression. People that are used to esports seem to be proud of it, just because they know what it means to be passionated about these great games - especially sc2 but esports in general. The people that dont know esports at all just take it as an expression for other people that "have no friends", "are into a useless thing", "barely wash" - to keep simple: they dont understand because all their presumptions are entirely wrong.
I wonder if TV had the same status when it was first introduced which i see as "more people doing it", "less communicative", "equally entertaining". Or football?
I really dont get why gaming was getting a kind of subculture. Why there is this feel of shame about telling people that you are interested in playing/watching games? And this feel of relief occurs when you find out that the one you rarely know is also a gamer and you are allowed to nerd-talk?

Last thing, i feel like its time for science to research the subculture of gaming in other ways than aggression felt during first person shooter games!

Good talk although you were a bit nervous it seems. But its time for nerds to liberate and it's a good thing to start it this way!

Wow I did a powerpoint presentation about esports in my English class last semester in front of 15 people... but I would never have had the cajones to do this. Thanks for spreading the good word!

Nice job! Pretty cool for someone on TL to be giving a tedx talk.

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 effected my life. Hope you guys enjoy it, and feel free to leave your honest comments.


*affected :D affect = verb
or you could say "had an effect." effect = noun

Dude, when i'm having my next demonstration of subject i choose, can i show this to everybody 'cause i'm doing it at e-Sports and i think this should be perfect opening for it. Why? Because this was just so FREAKING GOOOOOOOOOOOD!
