TLO is one of my favourite players, but even I think that's a bit of a stretch! | ||

Just like people thinking the cleveland based singing angels are so good. They aren't but the people they encompass are just so local | ||

TLO is really well known, has a lot of fans, and is a really good personality. I can't think of a Canadian player that's quite on par with him in those ways maybe aside from HuK. | ||

Daily planet is pretty light on how informative or significant the topics actually are, it's kinda like a show that you watch to engage slightly more in the world with out actually learning anything too significant. It's mostly harmless though, as is most Canadian programming. | ||

"World Champion" is a lot more appealing to hear than "a starcraft 2 pro that hasn't won much of anything", especially considering the target audience probably finds sc2 quite unappealing to begin with. The problem with the statement isn't that it's catering towards an audience that has no vested interest in the scene but rather the fact that it's an outright lie. (unless I'm missing out on something) | ||

He was on the news and I was a sorry ass kid unawares of the broodwar progaming scene and I was like " holy shit, making a living by gaming; sweeeeet " I spent years thinking he was still SC worldchamp LOLZ At least its not a Korean flanked by a bad translator. The TLO dude is quite awesome though! | ||

They just don't get it and it's false advertising. Exposure is great, but getting facts right is another. | ||

And who cares if he actually is the current world champion or whatever.... TV is going to spruce up their show to get interest and viewers. Let them. That means they are sprucing up our game. | ||

have TLO on there, or another Korean so the stigma of games being for Koreans (the world champions don't ooze cool points either to the normal joe) sticks even more. TLO is cool as fuck, if they are to lie who the world champion is; at least TLO was the one they lied about. (even if it was a mistake) | ||

With whiterah and idra close behind. Oh wait that was 2 years ago. Well at some point he had a case for being maybe the best. A very small case. | ||

'World championship player' sounds better than 'high-level but not really the best even outside of Korea' in a ten-second commercial. This kind of approach is why so much of the press is utterly unreliable and pathetic in everything they do. On the other hand, cool to see TLO grabbing some media appearances. | ||

The whole point is so people who don't pay a second of attention to sc2 do. If they choose to not like it because of korean domination then they weren't going to like it anyways. Just the fact that people might pay an ounce of attention or investors might think a little less of gaming because of they way TLO might be portrayed as a person is reason enough this lie isn't a bad one. Its simple advertisement 101. Say whatever you need to say to get someone to take the first step, then let the product do its job. If a person is appalled at the korean domination then they wouldn't of cared for sc2 ANYWAYS. If not then job well done. Just because we value this sport does not mean we should not succumb to simple advertising techniques. Let the in crowd organizations do the real reporting, let the outside ones say whatever they want to say.. as long as it makes the game seem attractive. | ||

But korean attention is one of the unique aspects that makes outsiders intrigued. the myth and legend of the entire country of korea playing a videogame to the level of a professional sport? i dont think more people get interested in sc2 because white people play it. the korean aspect makes it unique | ||
