My WCS Reportby Danny Jonhson, Age 9Hello my name is Danny Johnson and I like video games. StarCraft is my favorite but I don't like the one person game because the big guy kisses the bug lady and thats gross. When people play a lot of video games they can be really good at them and if they play other people who are good it is called esports. I like to watch esports but my mom says I spend too much time at the computer so sometimes I collect toads outside even though my sister thinks they are dirty and have germs. Here are some people who run WCS. WCS is a place that you go to when you want to play with people who are famous for video games. WCS is important because some people like video games so much that they make playing them their job. My teacher Mrs Berkshire says it is important to do a job you like but a lot of people who will play WCS sound mad on the internet a lot. WCS has three different parts, one in Korea one in Europe and one in America. Even though Korea is the smallest they are the best at games and sometimes people in America say it isn't fair. I heard you can play in America even if you are Korean. That sounds like lying to me but my teacher says sometimes it is okay for grownups to lie a little bit like the time we gave my dog medicine and told him it was a treat. WCS will choose players the same way GSL does. This is good because sometimes contests will choose players in new ways and then no one can know who is winning. It is also bad because you need a tall picture to see how it works. Here are some people who will run games. This is MLG. They are people that talk a lot and then sometimes do stuff in America. Their owner has a funny name but my mom said not to make fun of people with different names because maybe their parents were on drugs. This is ESL. They play games in Europe that have a lot of people going to them. Their leader is funny and gives piggyback rides on stage. I think he is nice if I met him. This is GomTV. They run games but they are past my bedtime and I haven't seen any. I think people who play there are good because people from America like me can't win there even though George Washington said everyone should be equal. This is OnGameNet. They are like GomTV but they only ran some games and then stopped having people play StarCraft because they play another game. I think they want to play more StarCraft because they used to have a lot of it before I was born. This is KeSPA. They are people that used to be mean and had a fight with StarCraft but they are friends now. They don't run any contests but they make other people pay them to let people play StarCraft. These are people in NASL. They are sad because they don't get to be in WCS and now that their friend IPL is gone they are lonely in California. My friend Frank says that IPL is not gone but they didn't have their last meeting and now no one talks about it so I think he is telling a joke. When I grow up I want to play video games and I hope I am good at them when I am old like White-Ra. I think that WCS will be good but parts of it will be bad because it has a lot of new stuff. Thank you for reading my report.

Sometimes it takes ineloquence to present the truth in the most eloquent way.

That was cute. My favorite parts had to be when he talked about naming children and the George Washington quote. 5/5

The Sundance line almost had me in tears. So good. So good. 5/5

That picture of Mr. Chae is excellent.

This is MLG. They are people that talk a lot and then sometimes do stuff in America. Their owner has a funny name but my mom said not to make fun of people with different names because maybe their parents were on drugs.
Hahaha this is probably my favorite part.
|
I think people who play there are good because people from America like me can't win there even though George Washington said everyone should be equal. George Washington would be an excellent game balancer.
|
LOL so cute and so awesome in general <3

My favourite line is: "This is KeSPA. They are people that used to be mean and had a fight with StarCraft."
|
I thought this was going to be an explanation of the new format from the perspective of a 9 year old, but this didn't disappoint. The descriptions were great.

great write up for a 9 year old and better picture use than me xD
|
This is ridiculously funny. Awesome read, loved it ! The Sundance line, the NASL line, the KeSPA line, so much funny stuff !
|
"This is KeSPA. They are people that used to be mean and had a fight with StarCraft but they are friends now."
ROFL!
Very nice. So, how did you get your hands on this? o.O I'm confused as to what your relationship to Danny is.
|
you definitely got a star sticker on your report kiddo :D
maybe we should use ''child goggles'' more often.
well played
|
Hahaha very cute. Loved the bit about Sundance and his name loooololol A+
|
I think they want to play more StarCraft because they used to have a lot of it before I was born. Have to give some love to this line cause there hasn't been any yet. Brilliant, lol.
|
haha this was high quality. Actually laughed out loud for once.
|
Sometimes a simple narrative is the most enjoyable read :D Thanks for sharing this!
|
Epic goodness is in the blog. Spotlight worthy, even. (imnsho)
Am I the only one that read this entire thing with the voice oscillating between Day[9]'s "Timmy" voice and the voice of one of the kids from Mr. Wizard?
+ Show Spoiler +I fear I have just dated myself horribly.

LOL I felt like I was reading the blog in a kid's voice >< Awesome stuff in there like the name or lies or all the KeSPA/NASL/IPL jokes lol
|
This is awesome! Danny, I think you need to come to some E-sports events and see them in person. Thank you for the wonderful report.
|
Really awesome post, how did this idea come to you? Would love to hear Day[9]'s Timmy read this out loud.
|
LOL. Good job Danny. <3
Their owner has a funny name but my mom said not to make fun of people with different names because maybe their parents were on drugs.

That's not too far off, I was imagining something in between Timmy and the autistic kid from The Wizard. I've never seen Mr Wizard though I'm not that old.
Mostly I was just imagining this kid and laughing to myself while writing it so I'm glad it came across right.

This is all sorts of awesome, 5 stars. <3
|
That's really awesome ! That's all i have to say !
|
this is awesome, thanks for the laughs

Haha, this is golden. Awesome!
|
Is that Comic Sans, Danny?! Here's an F for eFFort!

Oh my god, I cannot stop laughing.
That George Washington crack blew my mind.

The Sundance jab and the Frank Fields line are awesome, overall a really fun blog to read and the pictures make it even better.
Thanks for posting, I'm sure you had as much fun writing it as I had reading it.
|
This never gets less funny, even as I reread it.

hahaha I saw this quote before reading the blog itself. And assumed it was about Blizzard. Oops. If you think about it, Blizzard partnered with others to run their contest, so they don't run it themselves. Blizzard also makes all big leagues pay them for obligatory licence, otherwise they won't let people play StarCraft there. So it fits.
|
Danny, you're going places
|
|
This was very fun to read. It's astounding how simple language can portray the truth so clearly. Thanks.

I feel bad for Kollin, this kid will take his spot as the new SC2 writer for TL. Just got to break the news I guess.
|
I've already moved over to the Dota writers, much easier to get a job there.
|
Probably the clearest explanation of WCS so far. A+ Danny, excellent use of pictures!
