In the past few years many StarCraft community sites have opened up focusing on the game itself, English commentaries, the foreign community, and much more. However, we at StarCraftMecca provide something no other site does: StarCraft Pro Gaming Merchandise.

NOTE: All details on exactly how StarCraftMecca works will be on the site itself on March 15, 2010.

"I first started to take StarCraft up as more than just a hobby in 2007 when a fellow TL netter introduced me to low money games and the Pro Gaming scene. However, I didn't just do what most other StarCraft fans did. I was so mesmerized by the game and its community that I did things like; applying for a position at Blizzard; sending my resume to GOM when they had their own leagues; volunteering at multiple community sites; going to BlizzCon and WCG just to meet the Pro Gamers.

All of this eventually led to what you see here today. StarCraftMecca is the one thing that the community does not yet have on a constant basis, and with my knowledge of both the Korean and Foreign community I promise to do what I can to bring the two closer together like no one else has before."

Remember back in April of 2009 when CJ Entus had become the first team to open up their English website (link)? There were so many replies with questions about when they would open their store.

Well that time has finally come, but not exactly the way you think. Instead of actually opening up a site directed towards fans outside of Korea, CJ Entus has decided to sign a contract with StarCraftMecca so that StarCraftMecca can distribute CJ Entus merchandise worldwide. That is right. StarCraftMecca is now the OFFICIAL worldwide distributor of CJ Entus merchandise.

The Calgary LAN Tournament is a tournament hosted by StarCraftMecca and sponsored by CJ Entus. Yes, that's right. CJ Entus, the Korean Pro Gaming team. With the recent contract signed between StarCraftMecca and CJ Entus, this is just one of the small benefits that foreign fans will get.

The tournament is over and the results will be posted in less than 24 hours.

With the recent release of StarCraft II Beta no one is sure what the future holds in store for StarCraft fans worldwide. Questions run through everyones mind about what the Koreans will do and what the Foreigners will do but no one knows the answer.

What will happen to StarCraftMecca? With what we have planned, regardless of whether the Korean or Foreign scene switches over to StarCraft II or not, they will pan out. That means that whatever we have planned won't be affected by the switch ... and that's all there is folks, sorry to leave you hanging but we can't give out all the good information all at once, right?

The barrier between the Korean and Foreign community has lessened, more than you think ...
NOTE: The store will open during the night hours of MST (due to a midterm I have in the morning).

I'm really happy about the fluke that I happen to live in Calgary as well, haha.

how can you state that no other site will ever do the same thing? every business in history has competition at one point or another; to think that you will always be the only site that does this is ludicrous.
