Blind Starcraft Players
“The Korean media has reported about two incredibly talented teenagers who actively play Starcraft…with the disadvantage of being blind. Although they are not able to see what is going on, they can build buildings, create and control units, and hotkey using their ears. The two guys (ages 16 and 18) have been playing since the year 2000 and have developed a gaming style of their own along with another 20 year old blind man.” - sclegacy.com
I wonder if the sound guys at Blizzard ever thought their role would be so crucial for some players’ enjoyment of the game.
