If it was done well, sure. I watch Starcraft from time to time, and it's exciting, but i'm not sure if a show about progamers would turn out that well.

There's certainly enough conflict/tension between teams/players to happen.

I would like to point out, that insertion sort does really well for small sets, so using a hybrid of merge sort and insertion sort works really well.

It also does perform really well for almost sorted sets, so when there is coherence you can exploit, for example when coding sweep and prune as collision detection broadphase, then you an use it as well.

So even though it's O(n²), it has it's uses.

In Korea, gaming is a big entertainment industry and there are televised shows on gaming competitions as well as a cable channel for gaming. You get an inkling about mmorpg games being broadcast via gaming TV stations and networks from the korean light novel "Legendary Moonlight Sculptor". I've often wished there were fansubs of some of these korean tv shows showing quests or contests as they progressed.

It would have to be a simple game like Quake or something. If it was a strategy game/ASSFAGGOTS or something there would just be deus ex machina asspulls everywhere.
Quake/Arena shooters have simple rules that are easy to work with. That's why mahjong, at least in Akagi's case works. You know the rules and the plays they make are impressive because of it.

Akagi is full of asspulls, they're just chalked up to Akagi's magic foresight or luck.

>>111143274
Washizu asspulls way more than Akagi though

I mean they're not simple, but you can learn the basics and a bit more in a short amount of time. It's also a preexisting game, whereas something like Dota 2 has way too many intricacies to get across in an anime, and they can't make up a game for the anime in particular without coming up with convenient asspull rules that get revealed whenever the MC needs them.
Quake is a simple, preexisting game. You move around, shoot the other guy, control the map and manage your stack. It's simple, but hard. Easy to adapt into anime form.

Yes, it can be done very well since Japan's pretty hype in that field.

yeah well ASSFAGGOTS is pretty much the worst to get into

Tossgirl lost to IdrA.

Fucking IdrA.
>>
>>111141132
They have a big fighting game scene. That counts.
>>
>>111144646
IdrA was good at one point. I don't even remember anymore, but I think he was good at some point.
>>
>>111144764
He was only good as far as whitey is concerned. Otherwise, he didn't register as but a blip in the overall Korean picture.

We've already had a show about programmers and yes they were girls and yes they were magical girls who did magic by programming. It came out just a few years ago, it was called Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou and it was shit.

Considering this board's fixation with A) Insisting that post 2008 anime has a lot to offer and B) Calling people casual when they don't like poorly made cute girl shows it's pretty laughable how downright awful the board's powerlevel is.

No it would probably turn out like a bad version of Kuroko

Didn't he get Ro8 Code S? That's very good, especially as zerg back then.

IdrA was the best not because he was a good player, but because he had a personality.

I stopped watching SC2 because all the kora-bots are so fucking bland and characterless I really can't root for anyone.

They all look the same, they all say the same shit ("I want to say thanks to my fans and I'm going to try to give them an entertaining match") over and over again, and there's never any real rivalry there.

And the interviews between matches. Oh god. That's some industrial-strength awkwardness.

Battle Programmer Shirase wasn't really about programming, BPS himself was a hacker and the plot of each episode revolved around him hacking as opposed to programming. It was fun though.

>>111133045
He's just typing up his resume because SC pays shit compared to LoL

yeah, same here. SC2 was a million times more enjoyable when we had big western tournaments like MLG without any koreans. I watched everything back then, but now I can't remember the last time I watched a game of SC2.

It'd be shit because of fucking shitty push deathball China strats ruining the whole fucking game and causing 15 minute surrenders.

>>111145903

MC probably the only fun Korean player. At least that I can think of from the top of my head. I haven't been following the game for a long time now.

I know man, it's sad.

I really liked SC2. It's a fun game to play and fun game to watch. Especially with good casters.

BTW I just started up a stream of Acer vs Liquid. Why the fuck MMA's SCVs look so weird?

>>111146167

Boss toss is probably the only fun one. He like to troll a lot too.
>>
>>111132465
It already exists. Its called Eroge! H

SC1 > SC2 you are all shit whores

>>111146252
They're still based. They've been playing a bit together on stream.
Sing's stream has dropped considerably in quality though. I miss the times when he could actually read the chat. Twitch chat wasn't a shithole memesprout competition back then either.
