Boxer’s CNN special
It’s nothing new, but it’s always good to see a player like Lim “Boxer” Yo Hwan get more English-language exposure on a site like CNN.
Our undercover GGL Korea operatives alerted us to this CNN video short about pro gaming in Korea, where a clueless mainstream journalist attempts to describe Boxer’s superstar status in his native land. Also, check out The StarCraft phenomenon, a video short that offers some explanations about the rise of StarCraft in Korea, and this interview with the manager of E-Stro describing his players’ training regimen.
Although CNN approaches the story from the same old “I can’t believe it’s not butter pro gaming!” angle, I felt they at least treated the subject matter fairly. Check it out and leave us your comments on the videos.
