Evening Reading

by Brian Leahy, Oct 11, 2010 5:00pm PDT

Unfortunately, I've been away from StarCraft II for far too long and now I've lost all of my skills. At some point, I'll just have to give it another go, bomb my ladder rank, and work my way back up.

I'm super-excited for GSL 2, which is currently finishing up its offline qualifiers and should begin streamed matches in a little over a week. Some StarCraft: Brood War pros have begun making the switch to SC2, including BoxeR--the most famous SC:BW pro--and NaDa. Non-Korean players Greg "IdrA" Fields and Dario "TLO" Wunsch, both of whom played in GSL1, have qualified for GSL2.

The quality of games should get better and better as the GSL seasons continue.
