The fight for the Koprulu Sector wages on as the Sons of Korhal continue their struggle to wrest control of the sector from the Confederacy of Man.
How the war ends is up to YOU.
Ghosts of Tarsonis is a persistent-world metagame in which individual 1v1 StarCraft 2 matches influence an ongoing battle of conquest between two rival factions.
Strategically coordinate attacks to conquer planets; play SC2 matches for a greater cause; celebrate victories with a community of squad mates.
Anyone with a North American StarCraft 2 account, regardless of league placement, can play in the Ghosts of Tarsonis campaign. Initially planned to be an internal clan event, we've decided to open it up to members of the SC2 community at large so that we may all share in what will be a fun, competitive, team-oriented experience.
Achievements can be earned throughout the event, a crew of casters will live stream our most exciting match-ups, and we'll keep this thread updated on a weekly basis with battlefield reports.
The campaign begins January 20th and is expected to run for roughly 10 weeks. Players may join the campaign at any time.
What if Arcturus Mengsk, leader of the Sons of Korhal, had been assassinated before the fateful day he employed Psi Emitters to summon the Zerg to Tarsonis, effectively crushing the Confederacy? What if his second-in-command, Lieutenant Sarah Kerrigan, had never been abandoned on the planet, to be captured by Zerg and transformed into the Queen of Blades?
This is the premise around which Ghosts of Tarsonis revolves.
Wow, sounds like a great idea, I'll probably join.
EDIT: The only downside is the small map pool, though. It would be a lot more interesting if there were multiple maps per planet, and perhaps if the map played depended on the route of attack.
This is actually a genius idea. Imagine if something like this were applied to Blizzard ladder. It'd have to be done carefully, but it would really give people an incentive to practice and play.

Looks like I'm in the army again. Oh well hopefully in this army I won't have to do any actual physical exercise or get yelled at.

Great idea; we'll keep it in mind for our next campaign!

Ghosts of Tarsonis is currently only available in North America, but we would like to bring it to the EU. The event is administrated by members of TAW, and we are still building up our EU infrastructure. You're more than welcome to join and help us out!

Thanks for the suggestion; we've beta-tested the planet layout and spent months developing the current map, and while we do believe it is balanced, we are always collecting data and feedback to improve the campaign for future events.
I really can't wait for this! It's taken so long to plan it and work out the kinks, it will be great to finally get the ball rolling! It's pretty cool that you guys have responded so positively to the post! I hope I see tons of new faces this friday!
Aaaaand the Sons of Korhal DID get their revenge! The Confederacy may have taken the lead in Week 1, but Week 2 was all about the Sons of Korhal. Hooah!
Yeah they did! The Sons of Korhal will no longer fold to the oppression's of The Confederacy! We say down tyranny! We also say, come play with us on friday nights
