I don't think it looks like a game event at all... i think it looks like a freakshow kinda those girls are scared by those guys. I am a gamer i like to watch and i like to play but i would also like to compete you know. Kris said it the best it looks like a WWF show and i am not too hardcore into that. But that was a super good article keep it up. Wow i totally agree with you on the whole subject, i mean why not do that it is a really good idea.

The masterminds behind this show and league got their target demographic all wrong. The thing looks more like a WWF event than something that would appeal to the average gamer.I don't think they need to get the mainstream audience on board, they just need to know their market well enough that most gamers will tune in. There are at least 20 million of us in the United States, after all. I think you nailed it right on the head in that article.

This wasn't so much a "nerd" event/convention, as it was a competitive gaming-based television show.I do agree with some of your observations and CGI, when compared with how they handle competitive gaming in Korea, has a LONG road ahead of them. One which might not every truly take off with the mainstream. But I figure it's at least a step in the right direction.I probably won't watch it though. Nicely written!
