It's happened in China a while ago. Not Starcraft, but the dying part's the same.
Moral: to the contrary of what some might think, we humans actually still need to eat and sleep.
49 hours straight in Starcraft?!?! 24 hours is enough (Like people playing Halo 2 in Xbox Live) but 49? That's insane.

Why is it always the Koreans that die from playing video games too much?
Cuz they're the only ones (I'm sorry, replace the they with we[I'm Korean]) that didn't die from SARS...
Jay Leno of the tonight show did something about it in the Opening talk.
Something about how his opponent didn't know he was dead for 37 hours or something dumb I can't remember, although he was holding his hands like it was an XBox controller -.-

The joke was "And his oppenent took him a few hours to realize he was playing a DEAD GUY.
"YOU SUCK MAN YOU'RE HORRIBLE AT THIS GAME"
That's sort of funny if you think about it.
Told ya I didn't remember it

An Average human spends around 1/3 of their life sleeping.
