SHOUTcraft live shows! – tinyurl.com SHOUTcraft – www.cynicalbrit.com – brings you an all-platinum line-up in full 1080p, but without all the jargon and technical analysis usually associated with Starcraft eSports. Using “fight night” style, bombastic commentary, SHOUTcraft is your gateway drug to the wonderful world of eSports. In this match, Sid breaks out some unusual strategies as he takes on Teamliquid featured streamer, Psyonicreaver. For those following SHOUTcraft, a few changes have occurred. Firstly, Emperor has left the show to deal with family and work commitments. He’ll be getting married very soon so it’s all go in his life and hopefully we’ll see him again once things have calmed down. Secondly, SHOUTcraft live shows have moved and there are now 2 of them, both of which stream live on http Check the page for the schedule. Thirdly, the method of recording videos for Youtube resulted in jerky camera motions and out-of-sync commentary, due to the way SC2 replays work. All Youtube videos from here on in are re-casts of maths that happened on the Livestream, with new commentary and smooth camera work.
Platinum level play, off-the-wall strategies!

If you haven’t seen any of the SC2 Campaign (Which alone will be reason to buy this game), read:
http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/game/guide/campaign-overview
South Eastern Asia StarCraft 2 community can choose to play on either North American or South Eastern Asia servers.
From the South Eastern Asian SC2 Community Managers, they released a guide via facebook stating that Australians, New Zealanders, Malaysians, etc will be able to choose which server they can play on. It was noted that Australians and New Zealanders especially have a connection with the North American community, thus it figures that they’ll be accommodating them.

My Beta Experiences and SC2 launch expectations
I’ve been playing StarCraft 2 Beta since February, I’ve been quite addicted with some nights playing until I fall asleep on my keyboard. It’s been a refreshing experience and I’ve steadily improved my game play since starting out in Silver back in February and working all the way into Diamond. (After 600~ games of 1v1 in process.. ). My plans for SC2 Launch is getting a collector’s edition at Midnight hopefully (If not I’ll buy it the next day), playing campaign first then start out my multi-player grind after I finish it. I’m not going to spoil any of the campaign for the readers but it’s going to be an amazing game and I’ve been waiting to play this expansion for 10 years! :] :]
