It will take TV coverage, or some uber-game like BW in Korea, that most kids play, for it to move out of niche, eccentric, hobby status. | ||

As for most gamers in the states, they're nearly all casual gamers, they're not terribly in tune with "hardcore" gamers let alone anyone who would be a "Pro" gamer. So even if this league does get off its feet I don't really see too many people making any sort of connection with the players in the league. Pro gaming just doesn't (and wont) fit into American culture, so my advice would be to save your $$$ for something else, angel . | ||

Anyone is welcome to prove me wrong . Who knows, maybe in a few years attitudes here will change? | ||

I think you're right about America not having the attitude for pro-gaming as it is now, but I think that will change slowly (slower than Europe). I believe it's really just a matter of time. | ||

Progaming indeed became bigger outside Korea, but SC2, not BW. And as a result, BW is dying, some say is getting killed. | ||
