It turns out Asian gamers want to smoke and game at the same time.

I like the way this guy thinks that Starcraft can be played competitively with only a mouse.
And he mentions the old Koreans
Starcraft cliche, even though Starcraft isn't even that popular in Korean cafes anymore.
As far as the smoking thing, I can't add any useful information to that besides this tidbit:
I did a lot of digging into the growth rate for cigarette markets when Altria made the choice to spin off PMI. Here's something I found that most people don't realize. PM's sales in America were declining rather seriously, year over year. PM's sales in Western Europe were declining very slightly. In Eastern Europe and the Middle East, there was only a very slight increase.
However, PM's brands are doing alright because of a new market: Asia. Asia is currently showing massive growth in cigarette consumption, and whenever you see that level of growth, it's typically found at the younger ages. So it wouldn't surprise me if smoking was a much bigger issue in this than people think, like this blogger stated. It would also give credence to the stereotype of the PC Bang, loud, crowded, and smoke-filled.

I dont smoke or drink, but i enjoy playng with one hand, because its more comfortable with my desk set up, esepcailly if you are grinding for extended periods of time.
I only like WASD for pvp, otherwise i dont think it is nesessairy. I like games that offer both styles of movement.

Maybe the Asians will start catching up to the Americans in mortality rates from preventable consumptions haha. ::)
If it gets really bad though China will bane cigarettes in a second, and people will be jailed for smoking.
