Welcome to the inaugural SC2SEA newsletter! Bi-weekly, we'll be bring you interviews from a range of top players, recent tournament winners, review of tournaments, upcoming tournament previews and a range of other features, all conveniently packed into a bite-sized thread.
For our first installment, we have a recap of Unstable's The SEA Word with his guests the aMSI boys Deth, Pinder and EdgE, the Protoss balance expert himself, pRoHuntresS, a bunch of tournament results and a review of upcoming events!
The SEA Word Recap
The podcast is all about SEA! Every fortnight 3 high profile people in the community, be them players casters or event organisers will spend an hour or two discussing all things SEA.
For the First episode we had Pinder, Deth and EdgE all from the esports team Archaic MSI, where they discussed everything from current tournaments, upcoming tournaments the emergence of all the new clans and the new up and coming players from SEA and even the Clan of the Hill event! Viewers also got a good understanding of how each of these players felt about current matchups and the state of the SEA ladder and where they think the SEA community is heading and also what it needs to grow.

Hi there pRoHuntresS! Introduce yourself to everyone.
Hey guys, my names Edgar, I'm a 21 year old student from Malaysia. I've been playing StarCraft since Brood War. I still play it in LAN cafes with my friends, although I never played it competitively.
Excellent, how did you get into StarCraft 2?
I was a WarCraft 3 gamer, so my style is naturally orientated around micro. I found that StarCraft 2 was smooth and solid micro wise, so I latched straight onto it. I quit WarCraft 3 relatively early because of connection issues.
How did your first ever grudge match feel?
Exciting! I felt under pressure on the first map (Lost Temple) because we spawned close to each other and I was cautious about droning up.. however, on the second map (Scrap Station) I felt like NaDa taking his jacket off ^^, I have a lot of respect for Pinder because he's a really good player, it's just a shame he didn't want to finish off the the games!
Awesome! If the opportunity presents itself, would you like to face Pinder in another grudge match?
Of course. It was quite fun having a grudge match, maybe I should taunt more people from now on? ^_^. Of course if Pinder wanted a rematch, I would have the confidence to play him anytime.
Them's fighting words! One last question, in the first game Pinder opted to have a 80% handicap. What did you think of this? Did you consider it BM?
I didn't notice it until the game ended. if I had known at the start I would have 6 pool him, or drone rush! Soft/kottbullar style :P Yeah that was very BM.
Indeed. Thankyou for your time pRoHuntresS. You are indeed an inspiration to us all with your massive e-peen!
Thanks! SEA HWAITING!
