As some of you might know, I'm starting a video series based around the eSports Starcraft community, international, but often with a focus on the Canadian scene. There is going to be lots of tournament coverage and player interviews, or round-table discussions.
Now, before I go in to start editing some of the slides, intros and logos, I need a name. I was thinking of going with "The Meta Game," but I think that possibly may have a better use with a different project. So, help me brainstorm, guys! What do you think would fit?

The name "The Meta Game" just makes me laugh because of that one topic posted a while back.
Is your show about just SC2 or BW as well?
|
Whatever you pick, don`t pick "The Meta Game". "Maple Starcraft"?

Deep, echo-y voice: "SPORTS.... OF THE FUUUUUTUUURRRRRRRRRE!"
@Shatter -- fill me in, boy!
@barth -- yea, Meta Game is just a placeholder. I'm using it just as kind of a starting point for ideas and a theme. I'd use Maple Starcraft, but I want something a bit more catchy and less generic. That, and I never have ever used the term Maple at all for any Canadian stuff It's not Canadian-specific, anyway, I just have access to a lot of Canadian content... being from... well, yea.

I lolled at Inkarnates and NeverExpos . Funny for the canadians.

HarperCraft. Snowcraft. IglooabootehmaplesyrupCraft.
Starkraftwerk?
But seriously, I'd love to use Eh-Sports, but I want to leave it open for international coverage if I can. I was thinking of something like, Best-of-5, but it doesn't let potential searchers know that it's Starcraft right off the bat. Meta Game is at least a little intriguing.
Speaking of ridiculous names, by the way, I've started saying, "Good luck, have Batman" at the start of each game. <3 Jeff Gerstmann.
Edit: I like how someone 1-starred me :D

I was gonna offer up "eh-sports" my self.
But really, something along the lines of KawaiSports would be awesome if only for the lulz.

Clever/catchy names are tricky to come up with. Theyre awesome when you do and it clicks but failing that, simple but professional sounding ones are probably best.
eg eSport Center (not saying that's a good one, just demonstrating a type.) Descriptive, clean and professional sounding, versus heavy usage of jargon like gosu , bonjwa etc The downside is they're potentially boring.
Some words that could work with either approach: -game/gaming/progaming, - eSport -star
I can't think of many good canadian tie-in terms that arent blatant/lame ( canadarm lol..)

GAMES IN SPACE!!! (said like the muppets skit, PIGS IN SPACE) haha
Or maybe something silly like, Canadian Bacon. Because it's mostly Canadian games and bacon is aweseome just like SC2 haha.
