A dream come true for any StarCraft fan.
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).

Excellent. I look forward to buying stuff through you guys!

OMG YERRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSS!
Finally, now that SC2 is almost out, lol....
|
oh dear christ
i am demanding a CJ jacket as a belated birthday gift
|
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.

Legal contract.

Yes, that is the test store for now. It will eventually be redirected to the real store with all the merchandise later tonight (I'm in Canada).

oo LORDY LORDY I'm gonna spend some fucking money here..
CJ FIGHTING!
|
I just wish I hadn't spent like $400 on other crap in the last few weeks. 
|
In addition to my previous comment, I'm gonna stop eating lunch at school to save money for this stuff..hopefully its not too expensive. ^_^
|
fuck double post I think I'm too excited
|
Awesome. Looking forward to making a purchase.

Just speculation, but if you look at the prizes in the LAN topic, it gives their value. That's not factoring shipping or anything though, but I'm assuming the actual price has already been beefed up to include his profit. But we'll have to wait and see.
|
But is this going to sell ONLY CJ ENTUS stuff? Or other teams as well?
|
This is really awesome. Looking forward to some gear....hopefully the MBC jackets will be available in the future =D
|
Oh my dear God please get KTR on board before they switch their uniforms or something. If I could get that black jacket.... omg
|
OMG YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY EARNED MY ENTIRE PAYCHECK THANK YOU

NOTE: Images are broken because I am working on the site/store/forum. They will be up when they go up.
|
OH WHY !?!? did i buy that 100€ jacket...
|
Jesus christ. Bald Movie. Dear god what.
Also, vampire Much and the rest of the CJ protosses.
|
dude you're about to make shitloads of money. like no joke.
|
Guess I know where my paycheck is going ;o
|
Very nice. I'm not much of an Entus man, but god they always had the coolest uniforms, especially when they were GO. Anyone remember that cool Airwalk jacket?
|
Best of luck with the shop =) Hope I get the chance to order stuff from you in the future. Would love a CJ shirt or something equally gosu ^^

Take down the installation files for your shop accessible to everyone ASAP. Seriously...

Nothing is open, everything is going to be deleted and "reformatted" right before the store is open so it doesn't really matter what happens right at this exact moment anyway.
|
So it doesn't matter when someone uses a weakness in your badly or completely unconfigured webshop to download a spambot to your server and get your domain on every blacklist in the whole wide world? Seriously, you should consider taking them down.
Also, my korean is not the best, but does Chris 'Crazyturtle' Kim say: I love Susie?
lol.

Yeah... I don't think I would trust my money/info with this site.
|
Can't wait!
Is there a possibility that at some point you would integrate a way to pay by poker sites like PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker? Many TeamLiquid people play a lot of poker so it would be a very easy way to pay for many of us and there are no fees like I think PayPal has.
Anyways I believe the shop will be very lucrative for you, can't decide what to throw in to my first order.

I think it's sushi but I could be wrong!
Edit: Susie in Korean is with a J, like 수지
|
Ah, right. Yeah, that would be sushi
|
This is exceedingly cool.
I hope you get lots of NA sizes and that they're clearly labled on your site. That's a major factor that would hold me back from ordering.

Exclusivity contracts friend. If they are the official distributor then they are the only ones with licence to sell official gear.

I know what the 100 dollars I just got is going towards, a new CJ JACKET!!!
|
Holy fuck yes! This is gonna be epic!
|
How can the Jackets and Tshirts be worth $300 and $80, respectively? That's insane.

If this is true, I can't see many sales going through. Though I guess it's necessary to make a profit somehow.

From what they said at the lan event it's because those prizes aren't regularly available merchandise, they are official gear that the players wear, so you can't actually buy that. The merchandise that will be produced is fan merchandise which is a little different and will probably be cheaper. Forgive me kOre if any of this is incorrect, if so I'll edit it out.

Site is down? whats going on ?

What part of "The server is going to be reformatted so it doesn't matter at this point" do you guys not understand? And it says he loves sushi.
|
Exceptional.
Good luck! I will follow the sites development diligently.
|
What part of "Get your domain blacklisted for spam that was sent while the security abyss was still open" don't you understand?
Or are you going to format that too? Anyway, not my business.
edit: Just hoping your site gets off to a good start, and trying to be constructive.
There are very good reasons why you don't make development platforms publicly available, even if you plan on deleting them later. I don't know about your setup, but that might also open doors into the rest of your / your providers infrastructure.
|
So what happens if I live in Calgary?
Do I not need to pay PST?

I'm going to close this until you actually have a working site and store. Please don't make big announcement launch threads until your site/store/tournament/whatever actually is actually ready.
Feel free to make a new thread or PM me to reopen this one once your site is actually up and functional.
