Intel sure knows their marketing, SC2 fans will blindly spend £100 on a keyboard because they know a few pros use it (I know because.. err, I might just have found out about Filcos that way). If Tastosis starts talking about the awesomeness (if it is or not is irrelevant) of the i7 I'm sure more than one person will highly consider Intel the next time they buy a CPU.

Oh and then there's the vocal minority who'll buy Intel only because they're "supporting e-sports" ^^

Definitely happy to see more interest in the GSL. Hopefully e-sports in other parts of the world will get the same attention.


they will, once there's more money in it to win.
and intel taking a step in that direction is just beautiful

Sandy Bridge processors themselves are OK. The SATA controllers were messed up on the motherboard (using specific controller). All the affected boards were recalled, and the revised version is set to be released soon.


Yeah I was actually planning on buying a Dell XPS 17 since I'm moving to Japan in 3 weeks, but the computers got recalled due to that I ended up going with the XPS 15 instead, seems it should run SC2 just fine without any graphic lag at all on medium settings or so... wonder if it will lag connecting from Japan though =/

The connection between Japan and the US is excellent, no need to worry.

Didn't Intel also sponsor Boxer? I've always been a Intel user, and this confirms it. They scratch my back by supporting esports, I'll scratch theirs by continuing to buy their awesome products.

i tried to buy one of their second generation i7's but they are all on recall. kind of ironic they are sponsoring a tournament with this sort of advertisement when the product isnt even available till as far as april
And Artosis sayeth "the one who kills many, but loses few, comes out ahead."

Intel is sponsoring the GSL. More specifically, this GSL is called the "second generation Intel Core GSL" (which is a lot shorter in hangul), where "second generation core" just means the i3, i5, and i7.

The remainder of the press release doesn't have any new information, except that these guys will be performing at some point during the GSL (thanks Selith).

An aside: I have a hunch that Intel is also sponsoring whatever Inc's big announcement is, so essentially everyone should run out and buy an i7 asaply.

I already have an i7, so you're welcome for contributing to the GSL sponsorship

It's not the cores, it's the (primarily) Sandybridge boards which have a design flaw (voltages) which will result in the SATA ports failing prematurely, and only if your board shows "Intel (R) 6 Series". The x58 chipset and below are fine, at least at this point in time .

Intel should not have bough MacAfee, they should have used those money on eSport instead imo but nice to see they still got some spare change.
Just sad i allready got an i7 and i don't need another one expect if it was 980x (only got 960 )

That's good to know! I remember playing WoW back in Japan a few years ago and my ping would range from a decent 200'ish to upwards of 800 sometimes ><

During the laggier times of the days it was pretty intolerable doing arena >< I can't imagine trying to micro with high ping lol

Probably was partly because I lived in a dorm though and a lot of people were often DLing stuff etc though

I'm definitely getting an Intel i7 when Heart of the Swarm launches, the company has a good track record for the tasks I wish to accomplish and the games I want to run as flawlessly as possible. Thanks Intel for sponsoring our hobbies!
Support your esport!

If Intel spent the $7B they used on McAfee on esports instead, nobody would know what to do with the money. Honestly, an organically grown organization that slowly builds up in viewership and popularity is much more stable than something you throw money at. Big wads of money make for bad decision making, and it'd wind up looking like the superbowl halftime show.

I bet Tasteless says: This is the GSL sponsored by our wonderful sponsors: Sony Ericsson since he's been saying it for so long. Tasteless then gets fired.

In fact, he did say "Thanks to our sponsors: Sony... I'm sorry Intel.." haha
