It is amazing. I just want to like to go to a bar with him and have him read me things from Kafka or something. | ||

What stuck the most in my head is the bit where you compared team games to 1vs1. I've been only playing DotA the past few months and it's so much easier to blame your team than yourself. When you lose in SC it's all your fault. I think that deters a lot of people from actually playing SC2. I'm pretty sure the balance between people that play SC2 and people that watch it is heavily shifted towards the latter. | ||

Anyways thanks for the video. I've always heard these arguments about how important pc-bangs are for game popularity in Korea. Nice to hear an explanation from somebody who actually is in Korea. | ||

Team games exist in SC2 too, but for some reason they're labeled as "for fun" so the competitive community doesn't care and Blizzard doesn't even try to balance them - or at least provide a decent map pool. Which is a shame, since they can gather A LOT of players who suffers from ladder anxiety. | ||

You are soo right ! + Show Spoiler + I said thousand of times atlast for me ( east europe - romania ) in my city we have ~10 pc bangs all with 40-80 computers each . and nobody is playing in them SC2 . out of all players i only saw 2 in pc bangs playing starcraft 2 . and thats becose it costs TOO MUCH . 50 euro here is an INSANE amount . a avarage income is between 200euro - 400euro a month some ppl cant even affoard pc's so they play only on pc bangs . i would gladly help and make a videoin wich i film every1 in my local pc bangs . and il show u 70% of players are : WoT ( rank 1 ) DotA 2 ( rank ) and LoL ( rank 3 ) played in pc bangs . we even have LoL and WoT in romanian thats how big the scene is . for the other 30% of gamers they eighter play mmo's ( WoW on private server /cracked ofc , aion , Lineage2 // it was the most played games back in its days // etc ) or play browser games or cs 1.6 . another thing you should point out : i dont know in kr but here in romania every pc bang has steam caffe and they have like 300 games each computer . if you wanna play a free game you call the admin he logs you into the pc bang steam' caffe account . and there are tones of games for free . no reason to pay 50$ for a game that nobody plays . I'm so pissed since the release of sc2:wol that multiplayer is p2p that i would do anything i can to help blizzard understand that this is hurting its games at its most . imo the ppl who have 2k income will most likely play console games and not pc games . thanks again khaldor . + Show Spoiler + tell them the truth ! blizzard and western's are blind ! | ||
