Just saw this GW competition...

This maybe in the wrong section if it is feel free to move it...

I may be behind, but I just downloaded asian cheerleaders doing a routine in front of video screens flashing Guild Wars? Are video games treated in other countries like football/basketball etc is treated here?

That was really wild to see that... I think it was the post championship party but... seriously cheerleading routines?

asian cheerleaders? links please.....

look on the guild wars site...

here man crap http://www.guildwar.com/competitive/gwwc/

video games in korea are even bigger than sports in america and europe. when someone comes home from work in america or europe, they dont start playing basketball or soccer, whereas in korea, most people get involved with gaming. with so much public interest, professional gaming and spectators are a logical result. the only thing that takes away from it are the great variety of games out there, which means that not everyone can get into the same thing. the same can be said for sports, but there are many more games than sports. of course certain ones *cough starcraft cough* are more popular, but there is diversity nonetheless. guild wars, however, is rather unpopular in korea, as there are only two (one could argue three) competitive guilds remaining.

Ya, there are also a lot of cases where people actually commit suicide over games. I guess that kinda shows how important these games are to some people. Wow's game distributor "Aomeisoft" is currently being sued over a 13 year olds suicide. The note the kid left behind said all he wanted to do was "join the heros of the game he worshipped". People also actually can make a lot of money off of games in asia. Farming for gold in WoW & D2 for example is legal, and they can just turn around and sell it for a high price across sea's, risk free. This could also be one of the reasons why GW isnt as big over there. A game you cant make money off of isnt worth it.
