Love how as soon as you look up "MLG Raleigh StarCraft II Tournament" there is a major spoiler right in your face. If you care at all about wathcing the tounry don't google or youtube "MLG Raleigh StarCraft II Tournament"

I was told by an unrelaible source that Husky/HD will be posting the indivisual games on youtube but that he is currently busy with another live event and hasn't gotten to it yet.

To anyone interested in watching tournaments and Starcraft II casts in general: I recommend you subscribe to HuskyStarcraft and HDstarcraft on Youtube. Both are excellent commentators and always have new content. They also conveniently keep you up-to-date with these sorta tournament announcements. :)

Don't know if this was mentioned, but does blizzard know that HD and Husky are different people?

@epicpwnage & @oodug it is more like for the top 200 diamond division players as there seems to be over 700 diamond leagues of various levels of players... currently i'm number one for my diamond league but i'm only around 2000th in north america

@EpicPwnage: These tournaments are more for the top #1s out of the diamond divisions. Google your area and starcraft tournaments or groups though and you might be able to find some local events you could get in on.

@nightslayer: FYI, to hold a tournament, you need (should) to buy a SC2 tournament license. So Blizzard does indeed care.

I wish blizzard would have tournaments like they did in Warcraft 3 online where anyone could join by just clicking on the button if you were on at that time. Idk how hard it would be to get these tournaments sponsored so that you would could win free cheapish stuff if you win the tournament. Also APM graph is needed asap in the post game report i hate having to open up the replay just to look at the APMs

Any idea where I might be able to download the replay files for these games? Or maybe at least the finals. That'd be swell.

Raleigh was a blast. You can see some of my video commentary on the vent. I sat behind KiwiKaki during the finals, so you saw me during the stream. www.youtube.com/user/8Clutch

I moused around the MLG site for ten minutes without finding any links to tournament video. If they want to build audience - and Bliz wants to foster a pro scene - they really need to make it dirt simple (for those of us dumb as dirt or too busy to watch live) to find this stuff.

Even for a recent European tournament, the only way I found the video was through links on Day9fan.com (and thanks to that guy!)

I whole heartedly agree! I didn't know about the tourney, and now that I do know, I can't find anything about it? I can't even find the live stuff. I love the tourney concept, but it seems a bit of a waist if no one is able to see it.

@Boats: well the tournament just got done this weekend and they broadcast multiple games such as SC2, Halo 3, Tekken 6, and WOW. If you put the amount of gameplay together that is a lot of gameplay. Give them a couple of weeks to get it all up.
