Why not E-sports!
Today i emailed AIC (Sports for colleges in Brisbane) With the question about E-sports within the colleges.
I want to know what everyone's oppion is on Starcraft As a sport within the schools.

Starcraft has been called the chess of this generation. Numerous articles support this.
So i want to get some support with this. so I can Starcraft as a sport within our school.

Thanks guys,

It would be great, as long as:

1. They have the proper facilities to support it. And by PROPER I mean enough mid-high end computers that can handle a decent framerate in 200/200 late game battles.

2. There are sufficient amount of SCII players who are still in college or students that are willing to try out the game at least. This is a problem, since the e-sport influence in Aussie isn't as big as in Korea, that means there will be little to none volunteers in each college. Chances are there will be only like 4 players/college in Australia, and that's being generous.

3. It doesn't have a major influence on academic endeavors. This one will least likely happen, so I wouldn't consider it as a major problem.

4. There are monthly Starcraft tourneys between colleges. That means we might need someone to sponsor the tourneys. TtEsport and SC2SEA maybe?

Other than that, I don't see a reason why shouldn't we add E-Sports within colleges in Australia. If they did, I would be willing to move to Australia from Indonesia (In case my parents agree ;P) The SCII community in this country is unfortunately quite small, there are only like 2 GMs from Indonesia, and there are barely active Indonesian SC2SEA.com users (aside from myself I guess).
