Is the book written in such a way that someone who doesn't know anything about Starcraft 2 could understand it? Or is it written for fans?

This is written purely for fans, and the language is geared toward fans. I do think that someone who's not familiar with SC2 can appreciate reading about the top players' performances throughout the year, but 80% of it they probably just won't understand.

I think eSports Almanac 2011: SC2 is the best way to describe it in as few words as possible. Very cool resource and if you do one every year would be an awesome way to always remember and keep track of the way this game evolves.

Imagine if BW had one of these noting specifically amazing games and showing the rise of savior in one book the fall in the next :O

I personally think it was a good idea to release it as a free pdf. This because now I had the chance to get to know the book and it's content which would have been impossible without the pdf. I like reading real books so I was just taking a look at the pdf and thinking about buying it. Excellent work I gotta say and the whole community should be really proud of you for making such an effort and creating a book like this. High five!

Why don't you download it for free and check it out yourself?

That's what I will do. If like it, I will order the paperback. I love the idea of browsing though it in ten years and all the memories come up again

edit: I just realized the OP made me post my first reply on TL - I was a silent reader for years :D

I love how you reference specific games in your section about metagame, for instance July vs. MVP in GSL August and Sen vs. Mana in NASL Season 1. It brings back memories.
I don't have the creativity to think of a signature.
