Sorry if this has already been mentioned elsewhere but yesterday BBC Radio 4 had a half hour show about SC2. For those that aren't UK based, Radio 4 is definitely the most erudite radio station we have here in Britain - this is about as high-profile as radio gets.

The programme itself is quite good too and features interviews with several people we know/love...

Intro sounds like it's some discovery channel nature episode.
Have a nice day ;)

Not enough Apollo! Great to hear Paul! Nick's analysis of Korean coffee shops about as penetrating as his analysis of the average GSL game!

Pretty interesting episode, altough I felt like they should have talk a bit more about problem around esport, up to 12-13 hours day, tournament scams, player who are not getting pay in their team, betting scandals... I know those are more complex problem which are hard to tackle in a first presentation talk about esport, but I feel like all of the manestream presentation of esports made it look way more professional and organise that it actually is.

On another note, the fact that I am able to recognize Bomber voice in korean amaze me + Sojung "esports gamer"?

Ragging on esports is something we do in the esports community because we want to see it improve.

Mainstream media ragging on esports does not help esports improve, it makes it harder for esports to grow.

Besides that kind of shit happens in every sport. There's no reason to make a big deal out of it here.

Mainstream media rags on esports/gaming all the time. A positive episode is nice as well. I think he ended it well by saying that balance between gaming and the rest of your life is important.

Well making esport grow should not be the goal of an informative radio program.

I am not saying that it should be some fox news bulshit, but it should at least be adress to gave a more adequate picture of esport. It does happen in other sport but in some small shady league, in sc2 we had a Kespa team at the highest level (Prime was not the best team but their player were still top 50 in the world) not paying their player, with all the other crappy things Gerard did. Plus I think many practice partener are getting pay very little even in bigger team (I could be wrong about that, but I remember reading things about that).
These things will probably mostly go away when esport grow but I feel like it gave a false image of what starcraft is right now.

I guest I am a bit to hard on them it is preaty hard to covert these type on things when you came from outside of the scene and also made it somewhat entertaining and not to confusing.
