E-Sports

[Sir Og]

Do you watch any?

I find myself watching quite a bit of Starcraft 2 in the last year. I find it a lot more entertaining than football for example.

I also have been watching quite a bit of Starcraft 2.

Destiny, Sheth (?), Day9, Idra, White-ra... all quite entertaining.

I also watch a bit of the tournaments.

Dreamhack Invitational Valencia going on right now. Some great games so far. Semifinals start in a minute...

[Jon Miller]

I watched a couple of games earlier (HUK/Idra).

Huk and Idra are SC2 Pro players.

I'm about this thread in its entirety.

What about it baffles you?

Albie respects only sports played by sweaty muscular men.

[Sir Og]

Half the NFL players aren't even muscular. They are just fat.

Where does one go to watch E-Sports?

I guess most Olympic lifters are fat, too, eh? Most competitive strongmen, as well? Right?

I don't think you understand how incredibly strong NFL offensive and defensive linemen are, nor how quick and agile they are for their size.

I don't feel any desire to watch people play computer games, but I find this post to be pretty snotty.

I'm not sure why you'd want to watch others play video games when you can play the games yourself. What? Is this like when you were a little kid and your friends took turns on the console?

Maybe as a way to improve your game you watch the 'pros' but for pure entertainment? Really? Play the game.

Though to be fair, Starcraft is annoyingly stressful of a game.
