I am mildly pissed they still portrait professional gaming as something everyone would be ashamed of at first. What about picking up trash for a living, or shoveling elephant crap? Duh.
Also note the "500 actions per minute" remark is a huge overstatement, he'd have stumps for fingers by now. Let's settle on 250-300.
Last but not least, let me express my sincere interest in how things turn out after SC2 hits the shelves; the boys who cried wolf.. I mean, people have proclaimed SC and the professional scene in South Korea dead-maybe-dying repeatedly over the course of the past few years, yet it just keeps growing bigger and bigger, both in terms of moneten involved and nationwide interest. One day SC2 will suddenly land smack in the middle of all this, and what happens to the whole industry that's been built around the game? What happens to the legions of the up, the coming and the nearly-there teenage boys who spent a good portion of their lives getting good at a game that might well be expelled from the circus maximus of their Rome, courtesy Star-fucking-Craft 2, bitch?
Meh, if you're ever in Korea and want to hit a real army general on the head with a club, go sit in the second row when the ACE team is playing.
