If you really want to see something cool, the World Championship finals were last night. They posted them here:

You might have to forward through some of the hype stuff - this is like the Korean Superbowl - dancing girls and production value galore. But the games are REALLY REALLY good as the series goes on (it's a best of 7 format). And with the live audience and skilled commentators, you really get a feel for the excitement of the game and why people get into it.

here is one of the biggest street fighter moments. THis is from 3rd Strike though back in 2004.

THem guys get crazy. lol

Holy crap, 300+ actions per minute. I remember when I used to think I was good at videogames.

The TSL is starting at 11am PST (ie. now) today for anyone interested:

Some good matches scheduled.

I wonder if the Koreans gamble on these tourneys.

Check out this game... It's pretty awesome:

Pretty intense.

This one's a pretty good one. Not a lot of unit diversity, but a lot of back and forth.

In fact, the whole SlayerS_Boxer vs Fnatic.Sen series was good.

Just noticed you can buy both Starcraft II Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm for 59.99. How soon will the Protoss version come out. I figure they will probably put all three for 59.99 by then.

Actiblizzard has received the last of my money

I would be OK with paying $60 for all three since that is how it should have been from the start.

There's no release date at the moment, but it's probably at least a couple of years out.

yeah, my online searching indicates Fall 2014.
