SPOOOOOOON!

First, a word about competitive Starcraft. You sort of have to be obsessed with the game to catch what’s going on, since the players’ styles are so, er, “non-traditional.” Which brings me to me next point: it sometimes feels less like they’re playing Starcraft and more like some sort of elaborate Korean real-time chess with guns. And flying mouths that explode then they bump into things, that too. But you’ll remember just what game it is as soon as the phalanxes of Dragoons start erupting into piles of blue goop.

Being a big Starcraft gamer myself, it’s amazing to see how these guys have managed to wring every last drop of competitiveness out of units that, on the face of it, seem sort of mediocre (scourge, corsairs, etc). And then there’s the fact they just friggin’ click hundreds of times per minute. Husky’s commentaries on top of all of this are just gold!

There are some truly epic matches. Like this one (just wait till you get to the triple recall):
