Same story but the BBC link embellishes the story with gems like: Quote Online gaming in South Korea is extremely popular thanks to its fast and widespread broadband network. Games are televised and professional players are treated, as well as paid, like sports stars. Professional gamers there attract huge sums in sponsorship and can make more than $100,000 a year. and Quote More than 15 million people, or 30% of the population, are registered for online gaming in South Korea. The country also host the annual World Cyber Games. World Cyber Games. The joke pretty much writes itself. Title: Re: Next time you feel like gaming for 50 hours straight...

Last year's WCG were held in San Francisco and this year's are being held in Singapore.Title: Re: Next time you feel like gaming for 50 hours straight...
