I watch twitch streams a lot, but only to see footage of games that are still in development.

Country with 45% youth unemployment rate won as overall champion of some world gaming tournament in Korea. So much for eSports being serious business :lol:

Serbia obviously. Wouldn't even know about world championship if not for fellow countrymen talking about it. They seem very happy about it, I find it silly. Country without future shouldn't celebrate winning video game championship.

The dude who won is not unemployed though. Serious E-sport is a job.

Now kids will look at him as some sort of role model, which is wrong imo.

They won't ride long on that train, what will happen to them when they get too old to compete with 15 year olds? One of the reasons why youth is unemployed is because they take refuge in "Matrix", playing video games all day. They could change things but they choose not to.

I guess it works the other way round. More unemployment leeds to more gaming.(too obvious to even mention, but it's already written)
