lol so a bunch of nerds tapping keys on the keyboard is equivalent to actual physical activity?

It's only a big deal because it's in America, SC2 already had TV channels and stuff dedicated to it in Korea, as well as being considered the national passtime/sport thing. I think it's better news that America was handicapped enough to throw a kid in jail over something he said ~~ironically in League.~~ on Facebook after a League game.*

$500,000 bail. This is 5x higher than getting out of a life sentence.

They're tapping things more than you are.

That's right.
