I was wishing someone would post a review so I could see if it was worth it then I realized it was available for free as a PDF so I could look it over before I buy it. All the stats towards the end sold me, thats what I was hoping for. I am going to grab the paperback book so I can leave it out when people come to visit.

I will wait to get the book to actually read it, so no review from me yet. Here is the chapter list though, if anyone is interested as I was, on the proportions of each content type.
+ Show Spoiler +
INTRODUCTION ................................................................ 5
CH. 1: THE LANDSCAPE OF THE GAME ............................... 7
---PATCHES ............................................................................ 7
---LADDER MAPS .................................................................. 16
---TOURNAMENT MAPS .......................................................... 22
CH. 2: STRATEGIES AND METAGAME .............................. 28
---PROTOSS.......................................................................... 28
---TERRAN ........................................................................... 38
---ZERG ............................................................................... 44
CH. 3: THE DEFINING PLAYERS ........................................ 51
CH. 4: THE MAJOR LEAGUES ......................................... 123
APPENDIX A: PLAYER RECORDS .................................... 136
APPENDIX B: STATISTICS ............................................... 279
INDEX ........................................................................... 289


Thanks for your effort on this.

Thanks a bunch, Rastaban. A review on here (and Amazon) would be greatly appreciated so other people can get a feel for it. Also, ftr, I think that for a book like this, paperback is the better way to read it. But you all obviously go for whatever format you prefer.

Got it from Amazon, may take 18 days to get to the UK but I am sure it will be worth it. Great to see this kind of thing and I look forward to receiving it

This is awesome.

I wish something like this was made for BW, can you imagine the history retained? Builds and strategies were SO different back then, I would love to have something like this for every year since Starcraft started being played professionally haha.

Good luck with sales, looks pretty good! :D

Haha, yeah. That's actually part of what I was thinking when making this. Along with it being a good read now (IMO, of course , I really wanted us to have something that we could look back on years from now and say, "Lol what were we thinking?" etc.

Has anyone loaded the PDF into a Kindle to see how it looks? If it works well I'll donate $6 through Paypal since you'll get more of that than the $5.99 eBook.

This is a great idea!

Personnally I followed the sc2 scene since the beginning almost, but for all those who saw their interest for starcraft 2 growing late, there was no way for them to catch back on history and get access to the same global memories that all the community shares... And of course it'll also be a great esport guide that people will be able to show to their friends family etc to try to get them involved.

Thanks for the initiative!
