Global Starcraft 2 League tournament review

There are a few tournaments right now where the cream of the crop of Starcraft 2 players are participating. I'm talking about the really huge tournaments.
For a list of day to day tournaments the best source is teamliquid.At the right side of the site there is a list with upcoming events where you can see all tournaments.
The biggest tournaments are the following:
1) The Global Starcraft 2 League: hosted by south koreans is the heart of Starcraft 2 at right now. Featuring the best south korean players but also non-koreans that managed to qualify to the tournament, this is an example of professionalism. A season ticket with adds costs 10 dollars while one without costs 20 dollars. You also get the vods(videos on demand) of the games played which means that you can re-watch them whenever you like. You can pay with credit card or through paypal and I assure you this is a safe site. If you do not wish to pay or do not have money to do so you can watch the live-stream but at lower quality and you will not have access to the vods.
What I like most about is the english casters.Artosis and Tasteless, together forming the casting archon Tastosis. From guinea-pig random facts to in-depth analysis they do it all and they do it good. Fun fact Tasteless is actually Day9's brother.
To watch the games you should create an account on the site or login with your facebook account. If you are on linux there are some people re-streaming but this is not really legal so I won't give you any advice on finding them. You could try searching on ustream, justin.tv or livestream with some keywords. There is also a tutorial to make the free stream work on linux but it relies on a program made in python and honestly I could not make it work for me. GSL on linux/. In conclusion if you weigh the pros and cons - this tournament is definitely worth to watch. They will never be late, any technical difficulties are fixed very fast and the quality of the games is top notch because some of the best players in the world are here.
There's nothing better than grabbing a beer/cola putting some popcorn in the oven and chilling while watching some Starcraft 2 tournaments. Well at least this is what works for me. If you have any better suggestions or healthier food/drinks while watching I'm willing to hear some suggestions.
I hope this helped.

A movie review

This is a movie suggestion. So why exactly am I suggesting you a movie on a Starcraft 2 site? Well because this is a fraking(yes I use frak I'm a geek deal with it) awesome movie full of action some comedy but the most important part this is how a film set in the Starcraft Universe was supposed to turn out. And yes I'm talking about Starship Troopers. Ok so there are no protosses but no movie is perfect. It is a good movie nonetheless and for those of you that have not seen it but love Starcraft it's going to give you nerd chills, I guarantee it! Some might argue that the alien movies(Aliens) are just as close but still in a marathon Starship Trooper would be the kenian runner while Alien 2 would be the decent white skinned slower dude.

A little about me and a day in a life of Starcraft

This is harder than I thought. I would like to welcome you to my blog and hope that you will learn and have fun along with me in the world of Starcraft II. A ittle about myself, I am a player of Blizzard Games, mostly of Starcraft I and Starcraft II.I've been playing them for more time than I can remember and having a blast. In Starcraft II I am currently in the master league but due to time constraints I do not have time to play at anything but a casual level. I watch tournaments every chance I get and generally stay informed on what is happening. I honestly think that in the future there will be just as many people tuning in to watch a gaming tournament as there are now watching football or some other mainstream sport. And gaming is a sport make no mistake though I think that it is just now beginning to grow and am very excited as I love e-sports in general and Starcraft II in particular!
But enough about myself for now. There is another person that I would like you to meet, an inspirational caster of e-sports and a person that always manages to make me laugh. Sean day[9] Plott
He has a very good show the day[9]daily that I would like you to visit to learn more about Starcraft II. You might be wondering why I am showing you another site that would draw you away from the blog. But it's not like that, if there is at least one person who learns about e-sports from this article then it's enough for me. I will link what I believe is his defining show the day9 daily 100. It's a special show, not so much an analysis but actually a story about how he grew and learned while playing games. Hits close to home for me as some aspects seem quite familiar. It will make you laugh ,move you to tears and in the end I hope you will see e-sports in another light but don't believe me, just watch:


P.S.:

Since this is my first attempt at this I hope you won't be too harsh of my writing. Also, English not being my native language some grammar mistakes are bound to happen.
I will leave you with the traditional SC II wish Gl hf(good luck have fun!).
