One of the world's most famous Warcraft III players, Jae Ho "Moon" Jang and Xiao Feng "Sky" Li have been chosen to carry Olympic torch in Beijing, China along with other fellow electronic sports stars.Jang and Li are not the only electronic sports stars carrying (link via GotFrag) Olympic torch, as two of the Chinese Starcraft players, Lei "Leilei" Shen and Junchun "Pj" Sha were also the selected ones in the list. The original source says the dates and places of them carrying Olympic torch is not decided yet.
Running with torch through the cities around the world has been a tradition for years. The run trip started from Olympia, Greece and is now heading up to Beijing, China, the host of 2008 Summer Olympics. The path turns around the London, San Fransisco, Istanbul, Seoul, Kuala Lumper and Pyongyang cities before entering Beijing.
One world, one dream
With these details this is a great attempt to push the electronic sports and videogaming forward in the global market. Last time the try-out to take electronic sports in the Olympics failed, but perhaps this and the Digital Games tournament will make the dream to come true at some day and year. One world, one dream, as Gamespot's news says.
The selected ones
Eight gamers have been selected, and two, Xie "fordream" Nan (Warcraft III player) and Haifeng Du (not a player) are yet to be decided.

What about those who got expropriated because they needed their plot or put in jail because of what they said.
The way I was replying to hypnosed was not really reflecting what I was meaning with "cannot be biased", I admit. But what I said still has to be considered; the sentence with biased does not have any importance to my point. I was only writing that, yes, there is probably no decent respect of human rights in Guantanamo, but that it does not justify any other inhuman action and also that it had nothing to do with the topic.
