I like the comic so far but its still a bit too realistic for my taste. We need Yu Gi Oh level of overexageration.


No no we need YugiOh.

Also, this is awesome


To be more detailed, I was imagining the human-body shapes for Y G O. That level of uberexaggeration.

I admit I skimmed a bunch, but its a cool idea.

Remember Death Note, light vs L? Especially the tennis match. That's sort of what makes me think this idea could work.
Can we help spread the word and create pressure to get Rob Pardo to replace Browder as head of Sc2? Pardo led the team for broodwar, frozen throne, and wow/BC. We need to make this a thing before LotV development starts. Think about it.

Looks good! You should think about adding some female characters who aren't reduced to love interests, but otherwise the story seems enticing. : )

Hello,

Drawings and shades are good looking, which makes the reader able to enter easily in the story.

I will follow you but I hope it won't be too linear or Manichean because we could already understand the full story. He will win this set of games without following his coach orders. He will be shy about the girl and will never get her. He will grow strong in the scene but will have to endure defeats that will prove he needs to improve with obvious captions about "never surrender, be the best beat the rest".

Anyways, amaze us, make us dream, poor noobs who have dreamed at some points to be pros :p
GLHF!

i don't really know much about comics but this looks really good to me. probably would gain more support if your protagonist wasn't Naniwa though.

What?

tell me that guy doesn't look like Naniwa

Pretty awesome! I've had ideas for comics like this too, with a whole plot thought out too. But never had the art skills/motivation to do this. So glad you're doing it though!

Thanks everyone for your comments, the difficulty of making comic work is to be motivated to stay steady, and you are really keeping my spirit up : D

Creo> My original plan for the story is as follow :
The hero will lose his first match due to poor fundamental skills, he will then get picked up by an amator clan and his mentor will teach him from zero. This arc will explain how to improve in RTS game : p as the hero will go through several different internet cafe of different district of the town, each district will have a specific speciality in strategy ^^

The second arc will focus on the hero getting pro and living the pro gamer life from the inside and his everyday's life struggles. The climax will be the Electronics Olympics where he will face off his long time rival obviously : p and where he will make his 'game breaker' move !

This comic aims to be pretty humoristic though, but I have read (blog from pro gamers) and watch many documentaries on the subject and can play pretty decent (master level) so I hope to make it pretty consistent.

I still think the girl character is difficult to integrated, because the pro gaming world is so harsh and currently barely suit girls at all ... So my girl character will be a little bit ... tomboyish and aims to be the first girl to beat a boy on TV. Thats her part ^^'

Anyway, I'll be posting this project to editors in France, and authors have plenty of freedom to develop their story so I hope to get where I wanna go : p

Thanks for the fast answer Nayth!

I was gladly wrong and it then seems much more interesting than I imagined! I guess we could identify very easily with your main character and get entertained while getting hyped for playing our own games!

Good luck for getting in touch with editors, I know how hard it can be... especially on such a specific story! Are you on CaféSalé (http://www.cfsl.net/), some might help you with getting edited.

Matz even looks like Yagami Light

Some weird thing about your plot so far:
Need license to play televised matches,
Play televised match to win license?...

As For the Characters:
Matz, no fan of the name and his design is terrible, he has no edges, he disgusts me, very appalling. Do you know any 13/14 year old, they don't all look like justin bieber or have an asshole attitude.

Kim, my favourite so far, he reminds me of Qxc, nice guy but with angermanagement issues. :D

Kriss does not strike me as a leader, he should be higher ranked, or at least really good looking, or be tall or something.

Emi, no comment yet, she does not emit any personality.

Olfmann, oh man, I love him aswell. Someone to be scared of, would be funny as shit if his personality was the opposite.

Uncle Stan, well, someone like that in "the real" world is not needed. I would give him a worn suit, he should be the manager, organize the team, fail to get sponsors, spend tournament winnings on booze and whores. And why does he look like a zombie, old men lose hair and they dye the rest before they turn 70 to look younger.

As for the gamers,
Albert is offputting, he is too comic in my opinion, he most likely will destroy any immersion a ready would build up.

Overall I think your timing is god damn crytal. It's perfect. You should do story boards for movies. Just make sure you stay coherent (license thing, and is matz 13 or 14?), also I would totally advise to rework the main character. Take a young slayers_boxer for example. Esports should also be for the freaks, make him a LOT more edgy please.

I like how the 14 year old is described as young man and the guy who is 35 looks like some grandpa. But it does look really good tho.
And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?
