A Short History of StarCraft II with GameSpot

Danny O’Dwyer brings wry Irish witticisms to this video overview of StarCraft II, where it’s been, where it is now, and where it could be going in the future. It features Scott “SirScoots” Smith of EvilGeniuses talking eSports too. It’s an entertaining way to learn more about our favorite game, or introduce someone new to what it’s all about.

Funny, informative, and worth your time. Check it out!

Seriously guys...What's with all the spelling problems around here? You're making StarCraft players look bad O.o, Also as far as custom games go i think people could go a little out of their way to put some protection on their games, don't believe me? Try playing Hero Attack, You will play with a hacker within 5 games, Guaranteed. That is all

Game is full of hacks and bots i try to play only when a new patch comes that day. After that i play others games. Starcraft2 is full of map hacks, fog remover, auto build etc.! I wanty to buy the new release but i will certainly take a wait see approach to see if that gets hacked too. If it does starfcraft2 is history to me.

@Apostate: @Apostate: What are you talking about? Map hacks exist in VERY minute numbers, Audio builds dont make it past silver league... It may be you just got scouted and because your bronze and dont understand the game to a large extent you dont like it... Untill then your totally full of !@#$.

@Apostate: Sorry, but hacks are not that common. And more importantly, unless you're in grand master it may not even matter. A hack will mean someone can play vs higher ranked players than they deserve, true. But they will soon be playing against opponents who are equal to their skill with their hack built in. A bronze with a good hack might play vs Silver or Gold. Regardless of how effective his hack is, unless it makes him better than virtually everyone, he will simply end up playing vs players who can beat him 50% of the time. Hacks won't give anyone a 90% win rate.

@Apostate: I dont believe that hack or bots are a high concern and they have never bothered me. If you wish to improve then I recommend these 2 tips, they will get you out of bronze. Big a large army fast and scout. Sending an obs, scanning or whatever makes a massive difference. No joke, good scouting beats bots.

@Simmer: No its not official but it is a good guess. If I had to make a guess I would say early 2013. I'm guessing around March.
