It's been over a year since zedu uploaded the first version of Star Battle on StarCraft II EU Battle.net. Much has changed since the beginning. Originally containing only a single ship – the Battlecruiser – the map has grown in complexity and there are now 8 unique ships to choose from, each with a myriad of abilities. More recently, player statistics and achievements were introduced.
The game has enjoyed continued growth and success, and one year later it is still a front page custom game on both the EU and NA Battle.net servers, never falling far from the top. Now Star Battle is on SEA and CN servers too. Its community has expanded greatly over the past year. In addition to its original homepage, Star Battle now has a live stream channel, Twitter feed, Facebook community page, wiki page, and YouTube channel.
A huge leap forward in the community development process was made possible by the dedicated Star Battle TeamSpeak 3 server hosted by avogatro. It provided a place for players – both serious and new – to meet and form strong group and community bonds. Integration increased not only across servers, but between them as well. TeamSpeak provided a medium for the exchange of ideas between the EU and NA scenes. As of now, the beginning of 2012, there are at least 12 well-established Star Battle clans and that number is continuing to rise.
Large patches, small balance tweaks, and improving player skill have provided for the evolution and refinement of various, diverse tactics over the past year. Eight tournaments and one invitational event have been held on both the EU and NA servers. The number of recorded, casted, and streamed games has steadily increased, as gameplay has reached and passed the point where it's enjoyable for an audience to watch. This was demonstrated by the ‘Grandmasters of Star Battle’ show event, which had over 80 people watching the live stream at its peak.
The 5 tournaments on EU Battle.net and 3 on NA Battle.net have been awesome experiences for the participants. In fact, tournaments are now averaging well over 100 participants! Join us now in this upcoming tournament.
SBTNA5 will be the last tournament before our greatest community project in the history of Star Battle:
You have to play at least one tournament game to be awarded with tournament prize. Other tournament prizes are special ranks, achievements and green/gold stars in player's profile.
We are friendly community always happy to welcome new members.

The seventh tournament in Star Battle on the north-american server is about to come by the end of next week: 25. & 26. of August.
What's new about Star Battle? Star Battle is again -after the launch of the 1.5 SC2-patch- highly rated, received countless positive reviews, the map-creator launched two quick patches for the game to adjust it to Arcade-style.
The game is regarded to be very balanced as a lot of different ship-compositions are viable to field, the competition amongst the top-tier teams and clans is very close, with a very diverse field of 'chasing' teams and clans from all servers.
Another invitational tournament took place in August '12 and the Star Battle scene was warming up for the NA#7, which is the 12th official tournament in total - and counting in the fun-tournaments as well, it is the 16th major event. This means, that in Star Battle you'll find almost every one and half months a major or minor tournament.
NA#7 - The standard tournament prizes will be in place for all participants - and of course, special prizes for the finalists and winners. For more details, follow the below listed links or check the last post from 'OldEnt' about the NA#6. - The casting scene in Star Battle 'expanded' and a lot of games will be live-casted, which is exciting even for None-Star Battlers: seeing 6v6 action is thrilling, full of suspense and fun! - As tournaments are a must for every serious clan and team in Star Battle: expect epic matches & battles.
Last but not least it is also worth mentioning, that once NA#7 is over, Star Battle faces its next major event in September: the EU#6 Freelancer Tournament, which is focusing in sourcing and introducing new talents from all servers into the competitive scene. Every player will get experienced mentors, teams will be mixed - and all that in the usual tournament setting with proper rules, live-casts and some selected prizes. This will be fun - and everyone who reads this here and ever wanted to give Star Battle a try, but was too scared of high-level players pwning around: sign up for the EU#6 here - or simply click on the image below:

Happy Birthday Star Battle! Exactly two years ago, on October 9th, 2010 Star Battle was uploaded on StarCraft II EU Battle.net.
Overview Star Battle is a a custom game variant for StarCraft II by Blizzard Entertainment. Two teams consisting of up to six people engage in intense space fleet combat, with each player using one of the nine distinct capital ships, each wielding a formidable array of abilities and weapons.
Gameplay Combat consists of each of the two teams spawning at a base ship, which they must protect while attempting to destroy either the opposing team or the enemy base ship. Each ship can be upgraded at the base ship with minerals gained from killing or farming enemy 'creeps'. Upgrades such as firepower, defense, speed, and energy increase a ship's power and reflects individual playstyle. If a ship is destroyed, it does not respawn. This is a distinct difference from many custom games, and this part is what makes Star Battle much more than simply a 'DotA in space', as which it might appear at the first glance, otherwise.
Competitive play Over the past two years Star Battle evolved both in terms of gameplay and Community. Organised events take place every month, tournaments being the most contributive to the scene. Fifteen Star Battle tournaments, a league season and two invitational events have been successfully concluded in two first years of competitive scene. The biggest tournament so far attracted over 400 players from 40 teams, establishing a new record for StarCraft II custom maps scene.
Community The Community is proud to host many active and talented people who constantly contribute to the scene. Without them; tournaments, live streams, detailed guides, wiki, TeamSpeak servers, promotional graphics and videos could not be possible to organise. Veterans are always eager to welcome new people to the organised competitive scene. Many clans are recruiting right now!

Are there any EU clans recruiting? How about any EU tounrmanets?
Clans accept new players as recruits so give it a shot. The easiest way to get to a clan is to join TeamSpeak 3 server and play with people over there. Microphone is not required. It really helps joining star battle chat channel too. Clan leaders prefer requiting people with high social skills.
