KILL THE FIGHTER!

What would a slick motion opening look like for, um, classic Starcraft gaming televised? (Oh, yes – Korea really is that cool.) While we’re generally not that interested in motion reels, these videos are made of awesome, and seem to be a special case. It’s like Monday Night Football for us Americans.

And then you wind up, you know, punching water. Yep, strategy gaming geeks can be badass.

I’m hoping these healthy young gentlemen will now go punch whoever decided Starcraft 2 wouldn’t have LAN play in the face. FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE! FIGHT FOR YOUR LAN!
