Sweet, I used to watch reruns of the starcraft matches. It's amazing that these guys (ones that play the games) are huge stars in Korea, such a different culture.

Not trying to be stereotypical...but isn't RTS (starcraft) games like a national sport there?

Ok this could be wrong because I can't find where I read it. But the article said that tv stations actually take kids out of their parents houses when they are like 12 and they train for up to 18 hours a day in a house with other gamers. They get paid but aren't able to see or talk with their parents. The parents allow this because they are having a hard time taking care of the kids or because they just need extra money.

Are you sure you're not confusing them with Chinese gymnasts?
