LoreHound.com - NYCC 2010: StarCraft 2 - MurDeR vs SUGGY & W
0Scoffing at the idea of professional gamers is a common past time for comedians, and even many of us players. The stigma around these professionals, that they are trolls living in a basement, persists despite the fact that the industry is larger than Hollywood and the music business with hundreds of success stories. The notion that a video game, a child's toy in the eyes of many, can be played at the same level as dodgeball is mind boggling to some. If you're that type of person, I challenge you to attend a real tournament - not some LAN party or local PC baang - one hosted by Intel, NVIDIA, etc..
Obviously, with real sponsors, these tournaments can bring in the real players. Not myself, who limps past a .500 record in Platinum league, or even Heartbourne, our resident Diamond player. The real professionals. The ones that eat, sleep and breath build orders, counters and perfectly-timed EMP blasts against my horde of protoss. The players that compete for a living. Yet, to be perfectly honest, the players will not be the draw for newcomers, as anyone two chumps can have a close game. It's the experience, the entire atmosphere of a tournament that needs to be seen by the unbelievers.
