Anyone here plays or follows the Starcraft 2 community or pro-scene?
For the people that dont, i`ll give a quick introduction.

Starcraft2 is a very competitive real time strategy (RTS) game. The game involves 2 players battling each other while they manage their resources, build a base and try to keep their intell about what the other player is doing up-to-date. The goal of the game is to finish off the other players base or to make him leave (most players do this after their army gets killed)

All this allowed for a great spectator sport. You can compare Starcraft 2 to soccer, both are watched a lot but by a different community. There are regular tournaments, offline or online, where players compete for real money and fame. There are pro-gamers that make their living of playing Starcraft2.

Starcraft2 is South Korea`s national sport. The game is incredibly popular over there. This results in Koreans dominating in the game. There used to be 2 television stations broadcasting Starcraft2 on the national television!

So, anyone plays this game? How you feel about the state of Starcraft2 at the moment?
