First Non Korean Girl Pro Gamer.
Not many would give up TV to be a pro-gamer. You’d give it up to be a TV host perhaps but rarely do people have the balls to shift. So it’s natural the first person to step it up is a woman.
Han Yi Yang, a popular Chinese host for Gaming, goes on to become the first pro-gamer. StarTale is the team that gets this beauty.
And a test MiSs got and to her ecstasy, she passed. And with...

[Notes] Analysing replays.
I don’t know about you, but I have gone through 1000’s of threads, but there’s none that’s very simple in a to - do list or a quick check. There’s none that has a mantra either. So I decided to write some things down the next time I watch replays.
If you want some links that involve a lot of theory, then please feel free to read Plexas guide or the Reddit...

Milkis talks about Starcraft 2 and Esports.
It’s been super hectic, but we love you guys and we have been spending a lot of time on working on things here at our end. Here’s some awesome stuff to read for now.
Milkis talks about the races in starcraft according to the koreans here. The general conclusion is Terran is strong and Protoss is not. Which, for once, is something we foreigners agree as well.
But it doesn’t...

Recently, you’ve been placing very well at a bunch of tournaments and have been beating lots of top level talent (EG’s IdrA comes to mind). Being a newer name to the scene, how has the sudden spike in popularity and attention been treating you?

We’ll start covering tons of new stuff with a good strategical indepth as well. I had some real life issues to deal with that kept me away from the computer (but not from Starcraft 2) and I couldn’t just sit quiet with this. So here we go!

FXO Sheth's interview with Wellplayed.org
One of the most well mannered guys of the game. FXO Sheth interviews with Wellplayed.org. Some snippets
Dick: You always seem to respond to fan questions in your stream after games, why is that important to you?
Sheth: It’s important to me because I know as a human being it’s important to be treated respectfully. It always seems a bit rude to me to ignore those watching you....

The Rottiversity shows.
I have known Carmac for quite a while now. He’s an awesome guy with a very annoying online personality. But that’s justified knowing that he is the ESL Product Manager. That means he brings to us the awesome ESL Starcraft 2 event.
But on the side, he and Kevin “Rotterdam” Kooi have teamed together to do a series of shows called The Rottiversity Training. That’s...

GOMTV Super tournament- Here goes my May and June.
The GOMTV super tournament is now going to hit us between May 23rd and June 18th 2011. This is a grand pool of getting in just about every top name in the game to compete for what seems to be 93,000 USD for the first prize.
I’m still flabbergasted as to how these guys manage to put in so much money, which consistently seems to grow every tournament.
And I think that this might actually...

More pro lessons from 6 pool.
I can attest that incontroL is a very very good teacher. The fact that he’s joining up with idrA only makes this just as more awesome. I do think, however, that this is going to cost you a very pretty penny to be able to afford. Previously idrA used to coach Starcraft 2 for $ 150 an hour and incontrol’s rate was $ 40 an hour.
How much will they charge now? I’m not sure, but...
