fellow kiwis, just saw a snippet for a news item coming up on tv3 6pm news about e-sports and saw them showing scenes from an MLG?

watch it! wonder how it'll be portrayed.. i'll try find a link later for non nz'ers.

oh and tv3 is one of the main free-to-air channels here

ha i knew david farrier would do it, he always does the buzzy off beat topics.

i thought they did it well! they showed scenes from a barcraft and wasn't too patronising. lot better than some of the other ones ive seen anyway

It's remarkable how barcraft has managed to start breaking down the barriers between SC2 and mainstream media.

The headline is "Geeks get together to watch starcraft." Objective reporting- you're doing it wrong. Also, Gangnam Style is officially the theme song for SC2 now. I'm ok with that.

Disappointingly, the title is still "Geeks get together to watch Starcraft". Wish people would stop doing that.
