StarCraft League Resumes!

War is coming.  Kenyan Starcraft League

War is coming. Kenyan Starcraft League. Tomorrow.

Well, our first and only gaming league in Kenya took a slump in the last few weeks because of a variety of reasons….including the incredible launch of Starcraft 2.

We’re back now, and we’re back to business this coming weekend! The matches that shall be played will be such that every single player in the league makes it to five competitive games played, to end round of this season in Starcraft.

Here’s the schedule. The goal is to get all the unplayed matches over and done with!

Round 5 matches get played on a brand new map: Grandline SE.

Of course we’ll be at the Ihub tomorrow, but that won’t stop us from playing Starcraft!

Grandline SE

Grand Line SeGrandline SE is a new ICCup map – just added this year.

Notable Features

  • Different Spawning Positions — like on Andromeda, spawn positions matter heavily, as players will need to go through different terrains to get to different spawning positions.
  • Center Expansions — the expansions in the middle have mineral patches at 500 minerals and geyser at 2000 gas.

Back from Hiatus

The Starcraft League took a little break the weekend before last weekend thanks to some goofs over at KPLC. However, this past weekend it came back stronger than ever.

Here are the results of the matches of the day:

  • Psyko 2 mr_hyde 0
  • r3drox 0 JuGG3RN0t 1 (match not completed)
  • McVeigh 0 mr_hyde 1 (match not completed)
  • mr_hyde 2 JuGG3RN0t 0

Best Match
Game 1 of the McVeigh-mr_hyde match-up was fascinating. Terran Vs Terran are usually boring for me but this was a game like no other: 1 hour+ of gameplay, thrilling tank pushes, Nuke abuse, and overall carnage. mr_hyde played impressively to win Game 1 of the match-up. Make sure you watch the replay.

Something worrisome: the 2009 WCG Kenya champion currently sits squarely at the bottom….what happened?

Anarchy. Tomorrow

Anarchy

There shall be Anarchy

Tomorrow brings to us yet another addition to the on-going Kenya Starcraft league.

Due to the fact that a lot of players haven’t played their previous games, this weekend’s schedule of matches is quite crazy, but the aim is to get everyone to have played at least three rounds of matches (as defined on the schedule) by the end of Saturday.

Because this is quite late: The maps to be used will be Fighting Spirit and Heartbreak Ridge.

We meet at McVeigh’s at 2p.m.

See you there.
