Sorry to burst your bubble, but last year LoL surpasses StarCraft as the world's most popular video game. :/

Starcraft was never the world's most popular video game. Not even close. And neither was LoL. It's probably farmville or wii sports or something of that nature.

That guy said the most popular eSport game... I don't count farmville as an eSport game at all, but my standards are pretty high, since I don't count LoL as eSport game too. ;D

Sure, but the guy I was quoting just said "most popular video game"


Famous, not popular.

Not to be negative here.. but seriously is SC2 such a bad game that we need a separate thread when some famous guy decides to install it? I am pretty sure thousands of celebrities/famous people are playing all kinds of games all the time.


No, it's only a big deal when they do it publically , its excellent press and helps bring everything mainstream and get rid of negative gamer stereotypes.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

No, not really : ). You may be thinking of Alain Bernard, the guy who he crushed in the 2008 Olympics. Though I wouldn't say it was Leezak who made him famous as he both held the WR for some time + he won the indivisual 100 free at the 08 olympics as well ; D.

Well, Stephano is easily the most famous gamer of all time in France. In the gaming community, i'd say a very large majority of people know who he is. But nationwide, impossible to say really :/


Im sorry but most famous french gamer will always be Elky. If you are not into esports, nobody knows about Stephano in France. Hell most of the French people i meet in Seoul have no idea who Stephano is.


His statement was accurate. If the thing Elky's famous for isn't gaming, you can't say he's the most famous gamer. Otherwise, Yannick Agnel is now the most famous gamer in France.

Hmmm, I thought Elky would be the most famous gaming wise. But I guess he's more known for poker and his sunglasses.

I wonder how far a proffesional sports star would go in competitive gaming, if they used their methods of practice and the mental approach they use when they do their sports thing.

I also tweeted to Agnel the link to this thread ^^

"Now you got your own featured thread on TeamLiquid ! Like a swimming fish " *link*

Note: "Comme un poisson dans l'eau" ---> Like a fish in the water ---> Like a swimming fish. Is that correct ? Hard to translate sayings like that.

I fail to see what's exciting about this and why i should care :/

It's nice for him that he received so much attention, i know i wouldn't if i was about to start playing sc2 tomorrow. But that doesn't make him good or anything, he's basically just saying he installed the game..
