Forever in our hearts pants...
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.
The first part of this video is dedicated to the http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Portal:Foreign_Scene and includes highlights from the D Ranks Teamleague, fun community tournaments, somewhat gradually building up to the dominating competition such as the Altitude& or the currently ongoing Gambit& and of course the one and only - 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 Afreeca scene and its "BJs" (popular casters). We've seen the Hodduk Starleague and Sonic&. We have also been priviliged enough to witness the play of In_Dove, Minus)Eagle and Larva on Twitch.TV. Now we can give back and cheer on them and many other of our heroes (HiyA, Mong, PerfectMan, Killer, 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 Pusan, Mong, 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!

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 Killer, PerfectMan, AsiaSin[ScM] and 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./

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...
