BarCraft™ - Blizzard Gaming in Your Town
Do you love StarCraft®II? Do you have an awesome public location that would be great for watching StarCraft II with your friends? Well then a BarCraft™ event is just what you’re looking for!
A BarCraft event is basically a gathering of individuals in a public setting such as a pub or restaurant for the purpose of viewing live or pre-recorded StarCraft II competition, or any Blizzard gaming action for that matter, while enjoying some good grub (hopefully) and good company (hopefully).
If you’ve gone out to a public location to celebrate your favorite Blizzard games and share your passion for eSports together with others in your town, or are planning to do so in the near future, then we want to hear about it!
- Where did/will the event happen?
- Which broadcast was/will be viewed at the event?
- Would you attend another similar event, and is another one happening soon?
- What would you like to see happen at the next event you visit?
We’d like to grow and support the BarCrafts out there as much as possible, so please share your thoughts, help spread awareness for the types of local Blizzard-gaming events you’d like to see more of, and let us know what you enjoy about these events.

SCII, yes.. It was basically designed to be a competitive sport, as well as a watchable spectator sport.. But other than Brood Wars (unlikely in the west) what other Blizzard game would anyone organize a barcraft for? [sarcasm]World of Warcraft? Sounds exciting.. Diablo 2? Oh man, count me in.[/sarcasm]
Kind of irks me when I see what could have been a good short article on a really cool thing worded in such a way... I mean what was the writer trying to accomplish? Does he think he'll actually inspire people to buy other Blizzard games on the promise of Bardiablos? Or BarRaids? Annoying.
Also, you're annoying.
It's not right to just slap a TM on anything you want.
This is not right.
Definitely going to the next one for MLG Providence (I think it is)
What up Montreal!!!
