 Good job on the effort guys!:D Even if it's not StarCraft, it would cater to the general gaming community in our country. This will be big if this hits even only in Luzon, because after that, everything will flood in like Ondoy.....oh shi-- anyway, the last time I checked (more than a year ago), the SC community was less than a 100? and the competitive guys were less than half I think. But with mineski really putting up a good effort on getting some players into sc and now they have monthly(?) tournaments and they're hosting an online one right now if I'm not mistaken, I'm feeling quite bad for bm'ing some of their good guys early on (but who can blame me, some of their starters into the sc scene were bm as fuck, not to mention they were bad). I hope sc will make a push through but I think that sc has a certain degree of "elitism" tagged into it. It's like Chess, you only get the hang of watching grandmasters play after a year or two of playing. It's not like basketball where a completely neutral person could get hooked instantly during the 4th quarter when it's his school playing against a rival team (true story btw). Not to mention that most of the great players are over at Visayas....T_T Great efforts anyway, is this getting air time in any local channel/s? Studio 23 might be a bit too much for starters....tv5 maybe?

Yeah, having over 9000 islands hurt the Spaniard Colonization and our Law Enforcement...wait, do we even have decent law enforcement? Sometimes its the enforcers themselves who deviate from the law..~_~ | ||

I don't think banning members in a community with around a hundred active members is a good idea. TL can have high standards because of it's huge active community. | ||

Honestly all you need is one figure to rally behind like Pacquiao and this thing will take off, trust me. I'm Filipino American but let me tell you my family will go on about Pacquiao for hours if you let them. :S | ||

TL can have high standards because of it's huge active community. Well Legalism is effective, case in point: Singapore. and no one said anything about banning players that use jejemon..  You do have a point but why not put some quality into those a few hundred people (I'm not saying that they don't have quality to begin with)? Sure we only have a few hundred and maybe even less gamers out there and a good way of expanding is when people see that these players are not just those kanto/tambay players who use jejemon and bm their opponent in and out of the game. You guys will hit this thing big having this aired on GMA7, and hell, people all over our country will know about it and I bet they'll be more enticed to join if they see that the players here are good mannered people, which could be the total opposite of the computer shop tambay that they might play with every now and then. You guys aren't only hitting the potential participants of ESports in our country, but you guys might also hit the potential sponsors that might bring back a good WCG back in this country.

I haven't played in a long time, no less than 6 months. maybe wcg is a bit too much as of the moment, but we're getting there and this stuff you guys pulled off is a milestone for us. | ||

I think they moved from CS because they didn't have Television rights so they had to choose a game that is close but can be used as they want. | ||
