Western concept of a 'pro gamer':





Korean concept of a 'pro gamer':





I believe the pro scene of broodwar has been popularised due to reinvented image of a hardcore gamer, this is largely responsible due to Kespa's regulations of keeping the pros in a exercise regime to keep the players active and healthy looking and encourages them to behave and look a certain way. This caused female fans to become more accepting to esports, after all 50% of the population are girls



The western idea of hardcore gamers being unnatractive and unhealthy is true for the most part! Likely the reason why there are so few female fans in the foreigner scene compared to the asian scene.



The question is, should there be a concious effort to improve the appearance of western pro gamers? let's talk. People talk about spreading esports so much, yet everyone seems to ignore the elephant in the room.I believe the pro scene of broodwar has been popularised due to reinvented image of a hardcore gamer, this is largely responsible due to Kespa's regulations of keeping the pros in a exercise regime to keep the players active and healthy looking and encourages them to behave and look a certain way.

Win :D

I kinda see where the OP is coming from, but I believe that the scene needs to grow before it is really "necessary" to make the scene seem cool as such. Put more simply, I believe there are bigger priorities for the scene to grow rather than the appearance of our pro's.

Actually the first thing I noticed while watching the Blizzard Cup VODs, even after hearing about what happened, was your new hair.



Edit: On a somewhat related note, ST_Aphrodite is streaming. Actually the first thing I noticed while watching the Blizzard Cup VODs, even after hearing about what happened, was your new hair.Edit: On a somewhat related note, ST_Aphrodite is streaming.

karpo Profile Joined October 2010 Sweden 1998 Posts #14 The reason korea is like that is because they are extremely focused on looks. Saying that most foreign pros are unhealthy seems like bs as most of them look like your average 20-25 year old. Some are overweight but it's not a majority.

Ehm ... Have you looked at the western SC2 players? They look pretty stylish actually. Even when they're sitting at home and streaming (aside from CombatEx) they tend to look decent. StarCraft 2 is one game where the pros already have style. On December 30 2011 02:28 karpo wrote:

Admittedly some are very underweight though, which is really bad too, but a lot of the Korean players are like that. I'm a little confused too because you're saying that Korea is more focused on looks, but really the west is extremely focused on looks as well. Hence threads like this.
