ShowcraftTV & BaseTradeTV come together to present to you a Bo3 + Bo7 between great players in the North American scene!

"StarCraft is a great e-sport for both fans and players, and I hope these matches will add a bit of life to the NA-region SC2 scene. With a strong focus on NA-centric teams and players, I think this can happen. If not, at least we'll all get a boatload of great matches!"
-- dho (creator of ShowcraftTV)

Astrea One of the younger crowd in the SC2 scene, yet one of the strongest up-and-coming NA Protoss players. GM for multiple seasons, has had his plays featured on IPL (RIP) in the past, and has gone toe-to-toe with heavy hitters such as HyuN. He hasn't had much showing in HOTS as he took some time off for school, but since his return he has been tearing up the ladder.

JimRising Latin America anyone? Despite the hustle and bustle of recent team changing, he resides on Kaos latin Gamers, and remains one of the strong zerg forces in the NA scene.
_____________________________
Apocalypse Formerly long time member of Quantic Gaming, he is regarded as one of the better terrans that competes regularly in North American events. Recently joining team IvD (I.V. Drip) he has shown great skill, as displayed in his most recent WCS matches. Small fun terran fact: He's one of the only players to have beaten out Polt to win a ZOTAC cup.

Minigun ROOT4ROOT! Chad Jones is perhaps known best by his fan-given middle name+ Show Spoiler +

. For a player that started with FPS, he's come a long way in this RTS game known as Starcraft 2. Outside of the WCS premier league, where he resides, one of his most notable results was coming 4th in Shoutcraft America, a highly coveted NA tournament.
