http://brittv.co.uk/play.php?t=100000000000026810 (If the above does work for you. Thank you to Shinobi1982 for this link). ST team is focused here. You will need to skip to the last part and also, this may not be available in certain regions. It is nice to see E-sports getting some attention now, but I am interested in hearing your opinions on this. I love how Khaldor and Wolf are so good on it! | ||

haha she is hilarious. Really enjoyed that actually. Daisy wasn't being judgmental or laughing at how strange it must seem to see a training house, but just kinda went along with it. Gratz Wolf and Khaldor too, this would be among the most watched things in the UK tonight. You guys did great. | ||

I thought the studio was pretty small and was designed for online viewing mainly. The whole thing is just really really awesome. Channel 4 did a really good job here, made me pretty proud to be an esports viewer. | ||

Will get you a UK IP if you want to watch this. It's the final section of the program only. Brilliant though, really enjoyed it. Rather unsure of the numbers that got thrown out about audience numbers in the tens of millions around the world but hey ho. | ||

Sounds like an earnest attempt to cover the eSports scene from an objective PoV, at least from the write-up. That was my personal view. It is about time to have something positive! | ||

Will it turn people's heads? No - However the part she visited the StarTale team house did stereotype SC2 players as nerds with no specific numbers involved when it came to prize pools to justify the amount of hours they played but it's about as honest and fair amount of coverage we'll ever get on eSports in this country until we catch up with the likes of Sweden etc. | ||

Daisy goes behind the scenes of TV in South Korea. She meets an online TV star who cooks - and eats - for an audience of people who live alone. Says it all really, what a synopsis will defiantly watch this when i get home XD | ||

Stop being such a cynical wanker. Agreed. To be fair, if you've never played videogames, just LOOK at Starcraft. A whole bunch of things are shooting, and a whole bunch of things are getting shot. | ||

There have been some very negative shows about games in the past (mainly on ITV, if I remember rightly) but Channel 4 is known for making documentaries with some more unusual themes and perspectives and this segment fits quite well with that. I loved the look of real shock on her face when she first saw StarTale's house! | ||

We are not on South Korea, Japan, or Sweden's level but on a Worldwide basis I would say UK is not too out of it when it comes to online gaming and esports. Good examples of countries that could be considered far, far behind would be Nigeria, Mongolia, Colombia etc. Also RTS is not that popluar a genre Worldwide currently, not just in the UK. | ||

I'm going to guess the program decides to give you either US or UK depending on whether you are closer to UK (such as still in Europe) or the USA. :/ Could someone please use DownloadHelper/other and reupload it somewhere? *Bats eyelids* | ||

But ITV brought us the awesome show "Bad Influence". Admittedly I used to watch that show even though I had no idea what it was about (I was only 6-8 at the time and wouldn't get my first games console for another 5 years). Still enjoyed watching it though, think it was on either just before or after Art Attack. | ||

They kept repeating "a price pool of 64 thousand pounds". I really liked that part because it showed how serious they were about it, she noted the concentration and dat schedule :D I think the stereotype of gamers being lazy and not serious was crushed there. | ||

Stop being such a cynical wanker. This tbh. I mean its like anything, if you plonked anyone into a world they know nothing about, they will always struggle to seem knowledgeable about it to those who ARE in that world. What they will probably do, is their best to try and engage with the subject matter and bring in the many others who are watching and are NOT part of that world also.

At least it would be a bit of a laugh if they lightened up a bit more. Anyway - Does anyone have the VOD of the game/s casted? Does she cast all game?

Nah man, you aren't going to change people's opinions that easily and in many cases they just keep their preconceived notions. As for my own perception of the West more specifically, I'd say there are a lot of lazy gamers and they don't use their time wisely. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. | ||

I assume they were told something like "There are 100 million people with an internet connection and we have the potential to reach them all" and something got lost in translation.

It was clearly the GSTL, but the players were all Startale? I find it hard to believe that GOM would let someone with absolutely no knowledge cast (even if it was all in good fun) and on the show it looks like she actually was involved and getting stuck in, when in actuality it was a warm up match no online view would ever see. | ||
