So we have a Korean pro-team playing diamond and master league non-Koreans? I'm hoping to see 6-pools, nukes, and mass carriers. | ||

Zim was like a legit D- (think silver/gold), then later with a Japanese B- named kurOa. Both times JD compared them to the AI | ||

If I were in Japan and knew a bunch of heavy gamers, I'd promote the hell out of this event to them! Worst case scenario, CJ Entus just went abroad to stomp a bunch of foreigners, as would be expected of any such show match. Best case scenario, this is the start point of a stronger Japanese SC2 scene and in an amusing reversal of SC:BW's fate, Japan gets a native translation for Legacy of the Void. I hope team Japan takes at least one game off of CJ Entus and inspires a visible SC2 scene in Japan. | ||

Imagine toying around with a PC game you haven't heard too much about except that its the sequel to a game that was Massive in Korea, then seeing live on-stage a demonstration of what one can do in the game with dedicated practice and study.

Oh wow, how much humiliation must a pro gamer be able to take. You came to play starcraft, then you must play dance-hero! | ||

I don't think facing off against Korea right now is a good idea haha Japan and Korea have had these kinds of show matches in the past.... JeSPA was formed with very close ties to KeSPA (please note however that JeSPA pretty much has no money or power to host stuff) It's always been to support eSports. Nobody cares if someone gets stomped, this is a good opportunity for both parties. Also, Japan has had several show matches with Taiwan afaik. A lot of these players are noteworthy. They aren't top world players, but they are competitive in Japan, and many of them have tried to qualify for things like WCS NA, IPL, and other events. It may be dated, and the Japanese don't make too many showings, but they have constant players, and showing them support will only help boost their scene. | ||

Every other country that has a very high Human Development Index or is a major industial nation has a e-sports scene. Everyone except Japan..... oh neither does India I just noticed that. India has one of the lowest HDI in the world and isn't industrialized at all. | ||

Japan does have e-sports but mostly in fighting games. They don't have much presence in PC games. I hope events like this help Japan develop PC games and especially StarCraft. It would be interesting if some of their younger promising go or shogi players tried real-time strategy and became competitive. | ||

, maybe if they play in KR server and stay there for a lot but even then i think the popularity of 3DS/VITA/ps3 is way too big
