Wraithlin's Starcraft Review: 10/12/2008

Posted 12/09/08 at 7:17 PM by Wraithlin
Lots to review, lots to see, with the MSL-ST starting up there is a lot of starcraft being played, not all of it is worth watching, however.

Gom TV:
sOo vs Skyhigh
sOo vs Skyhigh - Game 1 [Round of 16 Group A] - GOMTV.net
sOo vs Skyhigh - Game 2 [Round of 16 Group A] - GOMTV.net
sOo vs Skyhigh - Game 3 [Round of 16 Group A] - GOMTV.net
- Quick, exciting games. Definitely one to watch.

Continuing my semi-regular run-down of what is hot, and what is not:

Gom TV: Avratec-Intel

Much vs HoeJJa:
Much vs HoeJJa - Game 1 [Round of 32 Group A] - GOMTV.net
Much vs HoeJJa - Game 2 [Round of 32 Group A] - GOMTV.net

- Both games have exciting openings which then tail off a little longer than you might hope.

Tosky vs GooJiLa - Game 1 [Round of 32 Group B] - GOMTV.net...

Due to real life I had to let my SC writing slide, but recently I have had more time to jot down a few notes during games. Most of these will be a reproduction of my comments from the GomTV thread in the Basement Parlour.

These are not intended to serve as in-depth analysis, and more thoughtful comments can be found at fansites such as teamliquid.net, this is simply my rundown of which games are worth watching, and which are better avoided.

With the MSL and OSL over,...

OSL: Group A
The latest EVER OSL began on the 16th April. For those not familiar with the Ro32, the format is relatively simple. The Players are divided into 8 groups of 4, and then paired off within those groups. In each group 5 games are played: two initial matches; then playoffs between both winners and both losers; and the final match between the loser of the winners match and the winner of the losers match.

What make Starcraft a Sucessful E-Sport?

Introduction
This is a rewrite of a post I made on teamliquid.net. At the time it was part of a discussion about Multiple Building Select, a feature of SC2’s UI which a great number of the current player base are against. One of the major complaints about MBS is that it makes the game easier, and therefore lowers the skill ceiling. Some people were trying to construct the argument that a less competitive game would be a less successful e-sport. Now this is something I contend strongly,...
