SC2SEA.com - Starcraft 2 SEA eSports Community Site

In relation to how CNN portrayed us:
To be honest my reaction to these articles was quite positive. The way we as a collective were portrayed was not as bad as it seems, but that's not what's important. What's important is that e-sports is being recognised in contemporary society as something that could possibly be legitimate. People are asking the questions now, such as "how does it relate to the Olympics" as well as recognising similar training to Olympic athletes (time and dedication wise).

Lets relate this to how we see everything start the ball rolling in society, it's the media, and how they reach out to the general public to give information on a subject. No doubt from these media articles and news reports that some people, whether they're gamers from a different genre, or even non-gamers are going to pick up a copy of starcraft 2 and start playing, or maybe they may watch a game online in their Youtube suggestion box that they've been ignoring when it pops up. It's even more important that companies and organisations see how big E-sports is, we're so ignored for how big we're getting, and it opens up new sponsorship opportunities.
As they say, any publicity is good publicity.
Just thought I'd give my opinion on the whole CNN thing.
