StarCraft II Custom Map Contest Ends Soon
I know, I did post about this before. I just thought it worth mention that Blizzard’s Custom Map Contest is ending soon! You only have a couple more days to get those submissions in!
We just wanted to remind you that the first ever StarCraft II Custom Map Contest will be drawing to a close on September 11, 2010. If you’re hoping for a chance to have your map featured at BlizzCon, win a trip to the convention, and score a cool $5,000 in the process, then put the finishing touches on your map and submit it before the deadline.Read the contest page to learn more — don’t miss out on your chance for glory!
If you have yet to submit your map or just want to see what’s up for grabs, be sure to check out the contest page.
NVIDIA GosuGamers Art Contest
You can no longer submit art for the GosuGamers Art Contest! Awww! But, for those of us that were not able to muster up something worthy of submission, there’s always voting! After four weeks the contests entries are now closed and GosuGamers have a post up with all of the entries that made the final cut. You can head on over there if you want to cast your vote or just see who’s most likely to walk away with that NVIDIA GTX460!
First Altitude TeamLiquid Open #1 (EU Server)
As you can see below it seems like TeamLiquid is getting into the tournament business. Their first open tournament boasts an impressive prize poll of $500 and is set to take place on September the 18th! Known ‘pro’ Starcraft II players will be able to register before the general public. You can read more about that over at the thread on the TeamLiquid Forums.
TeamLiquid is proud to announce our first TL Open, a 512 player open registration tournament run entirely through our website. This will hopefully be the first of many TL Opens. Each one will alternate between the EU and US servers and have individual sponsors. The first tournament will be held on the Europe server, and anyone with an EU battle.net account can enter.The Altitude TL Open #1 will be held on Saturday, Sep 18 10:00pm KST[local].
Check-in will begin 30 minutes before the tournament starts.
Blizzard Talks About “Guest Mode” and “Offline Mode”
Blizzard has a handy little post up that covers, in detail, everything you can expect from the ‘Guest’ and ‘Offline’ modes in Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty. There are a few things here that I didn’t know myself. Like the fact that in Guest Modes you can pretty much do it all, except play multiplayer or get achievements!
New Starcraft Dream Team
Former BroodWar player and MBCGame HERO coach ‘Lee’ has decided to put together a team of some of the bigger names in the Korean Pro-scene. Now, while I don’t know many of the Korean Starcraft II Pro’s, I do know Tester and Cool. That said, as of now, the newly formed roster of team TSL (Team SCV Life) is as follows:
- sSKS (a.k.a. Tester)
- FruitSeller (a.k.a. Cool[fOu])
- Clide
It’s looking pretty impressive and this new team is probably worth keeping an eye on! See the full post over at GosuGamers.
