Even though I was absent during Thursday and Friday (family events) I heard that Viking Cup #4 was a success with the exception of the stream.

When one of the best zergs of Europe signed up with his viking helmet on, we all knew that we were in for a trip!

Two great nights as Viking Cup #2 was played on may 20th and 21st. Finland was suppressed as the Swedes and Danish showed their great strength.

A lot of ups and down as Viking Cup #1 was played during Thursday and Friday. This did not stop the Finnish players from showing some true viking power.

This is a brand new weekly cup for the Nordic residents only. It's going to host Nordic players from the very top as well as amateur.

The new patch from Blizzard is a very creative one which tries to address problems by rethinking everything.

On may 19th 2007 we heard the news that pretty much shocked the whole world. Blizzard themselves told the world about their commitment to StarCraft II. We soon learned that Blizzard had secretly been working on StarCraft II since 2004. I remember the announcement day and it was one of those you just can’t get out of your head. Another of those days is about to happen, on 27th of July 2010.

A lot of questions have risen and people have not yet got answers to some of the most important questions regarding the broadcasts from the ESL TV network. Today we get some answers!

Alot have happened the last few weeks and I'm going to attempt a recap of the biggest happenings and give you a fair update on going on right now.

The giveaway was easy. You entered a comment on which race you predicted would win the Go4SC2 #5 tourney and added a funny reason to why you need a beta key. The final was played yesterday and Protoss won with White-Ra in command.

This is the perfect opportunity for you to get on the inside of all the delightful StarCraft 2 Beta action that is going on.

Many have requested something to be done to the Roach unit. Many patches have gone by without change. But this eight patch show no mercy.

A lot of players in the community have long said that the StarCraft II Beta needs better defence abilities. Their prayers have been answered with this seventh patch in the order. Let’s take a look!

Imagine a tournament where every week, 256 players battle it out for a chance to win 100€. Imagine if there was a grand final every month where the best from each week duke it out. That is ESL Go4SC2.
