Good luck.
I'm not known for...
Are you gonna get all teary?
You gonna get...
- Huh?
- You gonna get teary?
What do you think?
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the intel extreme
masters world championship!
To open the tournament,
to introduce you to the director
of pro gaming, Poland's
very own michal blicharz!
It's an emotional moment
for me,
because it's been
a dream of mine
to bring the intel
extreme masters here.
We are all here in this room
right now
because we all know
that at any given moment,
something special can happen,
something unforgettable,
something epic.
A moment that all of you
will take home with you.
If she destroys this on film,
10,000 nerds
will cry out in agony.
FROM BlizzCon.
Yes, you broke it.
Look.
This is my first true love.
It's a game.
"Unreal tournament."
And, by the way,
i haven't played this game
in quite some time,
so I'm horrible at it right now.
But I used to be good.
When he plays
and it's a really intense match,
whenever he jumps in-game,
he tends to do this...
He's gonna hate me so much
for doing it,
but this is what he does.
and I organized tournaments
because nobody
was doing it at the time.
INTO Internet CAFS
like hustlers
going to a pool hall.
Come in with as much swagger
as possible
to scare the opponents,
but that wasn't pro gaming.
I mean,
the first place prize was $50,
and I would actually have to win
that $50
not to starve for a week.
Most of us wouldn't break even,
but we played for the thrill
of it, for the love of it.
And, gradually, kind of,
you know, the sport grew.
play video games.
Yes, you heard me right.
Who would want to watch
teenagers just clicking away,
all night?
Sitting, watching other people
playing computer games all day.
Really?
It's hard for me
to bring anybody
just from the street,
sit that person on my couch,
and tell them
to be enjoying this,
but take them to a stadium,
and they will love
the experience.
I think you don't need
to use words then to translate
what this phenomenon
of esports is.
Imagine what they'd do today
if golf became a sport, right?
We'd never heard of it before,
and someone from Scotland
said we're gonna knock
a ball 500 yards into a hole,
and we're gonna put a tiny flag
in it so you can just about
see it and give you some hope.
And that's...
Then go to ESPN and say,
"do you want to cover it?"
And they'd be like,
"you must be mad."
When there were no video games,
kids played soccer,
they played football,
and they'd have these dreams,
"if I could do this
for a living, man!"
plays video games.
For the first time,
there's professional athletes
doing that.
And that dream's powerful.
You can look at
the prize-winning pools
for all the players.
They're all up
in the higher echelons
half a million now.
It's moved from this little kids
in a basement
to everybody celebrating what
intel extreme masters
is a tournament circuit
which is the oldest of them all.
The ones that were started
before it, they've died off
hasn't been realistic.
We're into season nine,
and it started off
in the old bedroom-cast style.
Lounge giant crt monitors
with people tucked behind them.
