Recently Team Liquid has made a game which basically involves making your very own dream GSTL team! The only thing you need to do to play this awesome game is to have an account on Team Liquid. (if you don’t I’m ashamed of you) Furthermore, you can post your team in Benji’s thread here.

2) GSL Super Tournament

After God knows how long of intense GSL action, on the 18th of June, the last 2 remaining warriors battled it out in a bo7 series to determine, who is the best Starcraft 2 player out there! After many twists and turns, many ups and downs, battles won and lost- Nah i'm just screwing with you, Polt demolished MMA 4-0. GG NO RE. But the sad thing was all TvT from the Semi finals! T T

3) DreamHack Summer 2011 (Or winter for us)

This weekend up in the Northern Hemisphere DreamHack Summer was kicking off with many hours of entertainment and countless streams to watch! There were 6 Starcraft 2 streams, 6! I couldn't pick between them, so i just roamed around aimlessly for 2 hours without leaving my seat. Day9 at one stage hit 50k viewers on his stream, so props to him for being so unbelievably famous and popular, though the filthy non-Starcraft game known as League of Legends hit almost 200k viewers! Just because a game is more popular doesn't mean it's better! On to the results!

1- LiquidHuK $16000
2- FOXMoon $8000
3- STBomber $4000
4- STJuly $2100

You can find the groups, sponsors, VODs and anything else you need to know about DreamHack right here!
