The Chinese government supports wc3, but they condemn gaming in general. Knowing this, it's kinda obvious that SC2 in China is kind of a fail (especially since China didn't even sell SC2... Chinese people had to buy it from Taiwan initially). xiaOt will probably take it btw, he's the been best player in China for the most part. infi and a few others will give him some competition but F91 (though I'd love to see him win) hasn't been winning much of anything... | ||

I think it has more to do with Blizzard's business model than the Chinese government tbh, judging by the success of games like Dota and LoL. | ||

Plus, I don't think people would really be interested in following SC 2 from China since they have virtually no presence in international tournaments and isn't the best country in terms of skill. Yeah, players on the level of XiaoT and Xigua can probably give foreigner pros a run for their money, but any kind of cross-server play between China and the rest of the foreigner world is fraught with network issues and they can't generally attend live events due to visa and travel fees, either. The one thing Chinese players do have going for them is a potentially much larger viewer base for tournaments that try to involve them, but the state of SC 2 in China makes even this kind of iffy. Having said that, there are a couple of Chinese & English members on TL who can certainly do a lot more for the scene if they could update readers on the events and provide instructions for viewing them. Kind of like what Chinese members do on GG.net for Dota, if anyone else's familiar with that. | ||

Yes that's what I'm going to do in the future and I'm currently writing a blog/article about the SC2 scene in China, including introduction of progamers, teams, tournaments etc, and something about Chinese esports in general. Also I may start casting some Chinese players games but not sure if I can do well with my English speaking skill.  | ||

Meanwhile, I've seen a number of XiGua's games and while he's not bad, his play strikes me as a bit mediocre. I hope that it's just that he hasn't had a worthy opponent to ply his trade on yet, though, because he's been getting a little hyped lately. Anyways, anyone want to fill me in on why xiaOt, XiGua, Comm, etc. have an iG tag? Thought they were Nv --> CCM. Did I miss another team change? | ||
