SC2SEA.com - Starcraft 2 SEA eSports Community Site

Yo guys, wrote something about what's going on in Australian eSports, if you dig it, chuck it on Twitter and share it around.

Excerpt & link below:


Scenes are disjointed. We've got League of Legends, the largest. StarCraft II is still kicking along, many predicted it's bubble effect but it's definitely staying strong. Call of Duty has a big scene. DotA 2 is building, slowly.

Australia's Counter-Strike scene is probably the oldest but following a short wave of PC-FPS titles, like the two latest Battlefields and Call of Duties, it's a little splintered and tired. Team Fortress 2 has one of the greatest and closest communities going and nobody knows about it. The FGC is growing but this article's relevancy might be outside of their scope but let's assume herein that they're in this with the rest of us.

ACL does a good job of getting everyone together. Bigger, more mainstream gatherings like PAX and EB Expo throw us in with the rest of the gamers to show them what the other side of the controller looks like.

There's lots of us that have knowledge of multiple scenes, but there's plenty who don't. There's even more who have no idea about any of them, which isn't right when you consider how much of the Australian gaming population are involved in some form of competitive scene.

What about outsiders? What about one StarCraft II player who relocated to Australia to start his tertiary education. His arrival was big news and any team he was to play for would be able to ride his wake and market themselves as the team with the real life Korean.
