Videogame Olympics captures the hearts of Koreans

In case you were unaware, the fourth annual World Cyber Games are deep underway. With only three days of competition to go, the competitors are really pushing their limits, er, buttons. This is not just a kill-or-be-killed, high score affair, hardly. The athletes (if we may call them that) must prove that they are capable of mastering such skills as advanced strategizing, adaptation, quick reflexes, & hand-eye coordination.
Winners not only own the bragging rights to games like Counter-Strike, Halo, & Starcraft, but also walk away with roughly $400,000 in cash prizes. No joke. You may even end up with your own television show in Korea, earning $500,000 a year, a mob of half-crazed fans, and uzi-toting bodyguards. And you thought all you had to worry about was carpal tunnel syndrome...
