As more players attempted to book their flight into the OSL RO16, an interesting subplot emerged as the fate of two former MSL champions diverged. One proved that he was indeed not like the others, while another showed that he was only a pretender?

It?s been nearly 3 weeks since I played my first game on battle.net and lots of things have happened since. Blizzard came out with three patches and strategies were evolving on a daily basis. In the first week of ladder the matchmaking seemed intent on finding opponents quickly rather than appropriately and high platinums were often matched up with players of lower rankings resulting in a lot o...

Liquipedia II has launched! Find it here:

When the original Liquipedia was launched, Starcraft had been around for more than a decade. Much of the knowledge of the game was all but complete. This time, it's all different. Definite information about t...
Starcraft 2 seems a lot like Starcraft 1, but there are some really cool new units in SC2. The Infestor is really not the Defiler. Sure, they are ugly (but which Zerg units aren't?) units which annoy you, but the Infestor gives the Zerg a whole bunch of interesting tools to play around with.
This unit hasn't had a lot written about it; things like the Banshee, Colossus, Marauder, and Mutalis...

SC2, SC2, SC2! That's all you've been hearing about for the past few weeks, and rightly so. The game, or rather the beta of the game, has taken the community by storm. Beta keys are being sold illegally for exorbitant amounts, user streams are getting hits on a ...

Game of The Week
Game of Last Week
The last couple of weeks has potentially been the most exciting and intense weeks that any diehard starcraft fanboy has experienced - first, we had the TSL finals, a thrilling bo7 between Mondragon and Nony, in what was probably the last big starcraft 1 tou...

Our two favourite SC2 voices are back this week, talking about balance changes, embarrassing in game moments, and of course, micro. There are many points of view out there at the moment on how unit control works in the Beta. Of course, when reading those opinions, its very easy to forget that the Broodwar micro management we kn...

As an old hand in the Starcraft community, Team Liquid has the unique opportunity of looking at SC2 through the eyes of Starcraft veterans. Today, we do just that. Last week, Waxangel took us back in time, and this week he's going to use that background to compare SCBW and SC2. Is the sequel more of the same? Is it better, or worse? F...
