Hope you haven't missed NaNiWa versus Keen, it was pretty entertaining ;P

» Dreamhack Live TV

• Open Stream #1 (PvZ going on, NaNiwa versus Keen, Naniwa has won, beautiful force fields!)
• Open Stream #2 (ZvZ going on right now, with Dimaga)​

I think there are other eSports going on, I'll do some research.

I was almost gonna go offtopic in one of the threads but decided not to post it at all, until this thread emerged. Nice vid:

So Spain will be invaded soon. I was going to put Brat_OK off my list until I saw his games from 2 months ago, he's kicking. So gogo Bratok and Thorzain. HerO, PuMa or Stephano take this.

What do eSports have to do with the News section?

it's like posting the Dota2 internationals coverage in the news section.

Except Dota 2 isn't what this site is about, it's about Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2?

and where do eSports fit in a War3 and barely Sc2 modding community?

It's not that it's spamming the news section, that page is updated with other news like one time per month, a few more news just makes the site seem more alive.

What is this for?

Frequent expression we use around here. Pauper and ungrateful.

Dreamhack is broadcast on national TV here in sweden this year.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

^ That's very nice Sweden is one of the countries in Europe with most developed SC2 scene and many players. I wonder why our national TV did nothing like that, back in war3 such games were aired on private TVs that were't watched much. I mean, this may not be Olympic games but still, attracts people to come to the country.

Update! ZvZ match going on the Europe Nationals.

In before 'wtf u doin why posting this omg'

I am considering of taking part in my country's qualifications though ofc not with much expectations, just taking part. It would be a good reason to get my ass serious again cause I've been repeating this since months ago and I never got as in shape as back in Season 1. Countries list too short/too late, we have a representative still

In this article the director of esports at Blizz says it well: to summarize he compares how even on smaller scale, not best of the best players, can compete and be rivalry like colleges in the US with football, and it feels good to be victorious over other people or if not, stand as an equal opponent, this is what I like about esports.

 

[Rui]

I got bored, they don't have the skill level of the players of other tournaments ;P

Eimtor, paying attention to the comments on the chat? They can't get over the girl lol.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Who don't have the skill level, you mean the players there? You've got

Demuslim (former War3 UK player, Human)
EmpireHappy (former War3 Rus player, one of the best Undeads)
TITAN (BW? Rus)
WhiteRa (Ukrainian BW player)
Bly (Bly4eg, former War3 player, a good Ukrainian undead player)
EmpireKas (one of the top EU Humans, Ukrainian, in the last year of War3 before the transitions to SC2)
Mana (Polish BW player)
Nerchio (Polish BW player)
Grubby (whoever doesn't know that Dutch is n00b)
Socke (BW? Ger player)

very much the top EU. Also LoWeLy and some others not so known from the Combined Europe Nationals can beat the more known players pretty much as Lowely just did.

The Blizz Director of the esports says it well, he will try to engage more ppl in esports, if not play it, watch it, this will be a focus in future SC2. It's like I'm posting in some alien language here...
