Indeed. Welcome to the age of Underground Brood War. The age of free FPV streams but also the age of lags and 240p. (If we're lucky!) Feel the power of oldschool as both the foreign and the Korean scene's dedicated organizers, casters and players bring you funny and deadly serious games, tournaments and leagues for your amusement only. While the stargirls might be missing... + Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
Forever in our hearts pants...
the passion is so overwhelming you won't be able to resist.

The amateur scene didn't just recently appear out of nowhere, it's a long story to tell and I'm going to offer you a short journey to help you taste it and hopefully convince you it absolutely deserves your attention.


+ Show Spoiler +
NukeTheStars wannabe too obvious?

The first part of this video is dedicated to the http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Portal:Foreign_Scene and includes highlights from the (Wiki)D Ranks Teamleague, fun community tournaments, somewhat gradually building up to the dominating competition such as the (Wiki)Altitude& or the currently ongoing (Wiki)Gambit& and of course the one and only - (Z)Sziky. There's still a lot missing simply due to the amount of various events one can get these days.

The second part looks up to the (Wiki)Afreeca scene and its "BJs" (popular casters). We've seen the (Wiki)Hodduk Starleague and (Wiki)Sonic&. We have also been priviliged enough to witness the play of (T)In_Dove, Minus)Eagle and (Z)Larva on Twitch.TV. Now we can give back and cheer on them and many other of our heroes ((T)HiyA, (T)Mong, (P)PerfectMan, (Z)Killer, (P)Pusan and countless others) in the best BW competition in Korea.


Sonic's 7th BJ StarLeague kicked off just yesterday (actually some of the highlights come from the cast) and thanks to kjwcj's and bgvrt's restreams, you could enjoy group A featuring (P)Pusan, (T)Mong, (P)Minus)zealOt and Force[Name] LIVE!
Wait... you didn't? You can still watch the VODs (including FPVs!) but make sure you keep a close eye on the future casts, you can find the schedule in the thread!

Make sure you also head over here to learn more about SOSPA.

If anything caught your interest, do follow the Foreign Brood War News Coverage (bookmark it!) and read the ABC - Amateur Brood War Coverage - to make sure you don't miss anything as big and awesome as this.
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Portal:Foreign_Scene Liquipedia is a great resource as well!

Congratulations, you made it to the end! Guess what? The second SSL cast just ended with Group B featuring (Z)Killer, (P)PerfectMan, AsiaSin[ScM] and (Z)beast and Hiya as the co-host! In case you missed it, VODs will no doubt be accessible sooner or later thanks to all the restreamers (again we have some FPVs)
IN OTHER GREAT NEWS: Sonic just started streaming on Twitch \.O./
+ Show Spoiler +
Damn I'd love to invite you to all the BW events I follow and thoroughly enjoy but that would take a few more pages D: amazingly enough there's a lot more to the scene than the bits in the video. Sorry to all that's been left out...

Thought this could reach more people like this.. since a lot of them stopped visiting the BW forums/never been there. Would it be a bad idea to repost it there as well now? Or if a mod can move it up there feel free to, not sure where it's optimal :p

Good job hyping up our little amateur scene, it really is awesome to be a part of it

Stratos, this is really wonderful.

As someone who has never really played BW, nothing cheers me more than to see people playing it at a high level and really getting invested in the competition.

Even now, I can't believe Kiante beat 2pac. I cannot imagine, after all the trash talking, how that felt.

First song of the video itself is enough for 5/5, not to mention everything else.

This is really bringing me back into the scene. I have to admit I considered leaving when the Korean scene was destroyed, but you guys are really making it hard. Time to get back on iCCup and ladder again?

Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more.
