Today I am here to talk to you about our fledgling SC2 scene and how we celebrate Blizzcon in Romania. eSports isn't really a thing here, there aren't many sponsors willing to support teams or tournaments. Despite difficulties we have a passionate fan base that really love the game. We mostly congregate at our local gaming pub called Nexus. This is pretty much heaven for all romanian gamers, we come to watch tournaments, compete in local lans and have some fun on the side via karaoke and parties.
Right now to celebrate BlizzCon we've all gathered at the Nexus. Not only to watch the event but to have some little fun on the side competing in local competition for all leagues. You can follow the progress on:

So far I've had a blast. My most awesome moment was when they showed the trailer for Legacy of the Void. Up till then we saw the World of Warcraft announcement and the Heroes one, no reaction from the crowd. When the trailer for LotV finished the entire barcraft started applauding, it was beautiful (and sadly I wasn't ready to film it).
I'll update this thread later on with some pictures and movies from the Nexus. I've been impressed with the number of fans even here in Romania. With such passion it gives me hope that the scene can maybe grow even here under such hardships.
Starcraft 2 fighting, Blizzard rocking!
