Being a loyal GSL viewer, the pure joy of watching the best players in the world competing against each other is just the best thing in the world. That's why I love SC2.

A lot of why I love SC2 is because of TeamLiquid. When I first started in beta I didn't even know about eSports, I just wanted to learn how to play the game better. But TL got me hooked fast. I was trying out builds on my own but also following Canadian heroes like HuK closely.

These days even though I don't play as much, TL keeps me in the loop. The events calendar is something I check everyday and provides me with so much entertainment. On top of that, Liquidpedia is the shining standard for eSports wikis. I just love how hard everyone in this scene works, from BaseTradeTV to TL.

Thanks for 5 years of memories and fun, SC2!

SC2 is way more than a game to me. It's a passion that has effected positively all aspects of my life. Lifelong friends, unforgettable trips, amazing competitive experiences, and endless hours of entertainment.

I love SC2 because it brought 5 years worth of good times and fun into my life! From games like Soulkey bringing it back vs. Innovation and staying up late to watch epic series unfold, it gave me many memories to look back on with a smile on my face!

The best memory would probably be my first DreamHack Bucharest, Taeja winning (beating SoS, Life and Inno), TeamLiquid beating up Acer and meeting Day9 in person!

StarCraft is love, StarCraft is life!

My father came back from work in 1998 with SCI in his hands.

I had been playing diablo and warcraft 2 with my brothers so we were already aware of its release.

And then we've played countless hours together, or on b.net.

I remember us catching ElkY vs BoxeR WCG videos and that was glorious.

Now I don't have much time to play, or even watch because of work, but it's still a good reason tell the g.f. from time to time "sorry honey, tonight is starcraft time".

I love starcraft simply because mentioning these recollections brings a small tear to my eyes .

I never played a lot of PC games back in the day until 2010. After joining a new school I lost almost all of my friends and didn't know most of the ppl in my class. The first real contact was a guy who played a ton of CS back in time and he told me about this new RTS called StarCraft 2 which was still in beta back then. After watching HasuObs storming Terrans I got immediately hooked and watched everything I was able to (shoutout to TakeTV and the TL who I am a big fan of!)

5 years and a long quest through bronze league later I am laddering as a master league player, found a new passion in esport since 2010 and made new friends in RL aswell as ingame. Thanks for everything StarCraft 2, I ♥ you!

That's the case whether you play yourself and finally pull off a sick game after practicing a style for a while, or if you are just cheering for your favourite player in an intense game.

I never felt as excited for another game. In how many other games do people have ladder anxiety? Sure this might be a bad thing, but it just proves how sick and intense sc2 is as a game. Playing this game is literally exhausting and feels like a mental workout, there is just nothing quite like it. In a time where everybody decided to make 5v5 games, sc2 is a precious gem!

Oh and Jaedong! Jaedong is love, Jaedong is life. That we have the best community out of any game is obvious .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I love playing SC2 because the game is demanding and rewarding, with a wide array of builds and strategies.

I love watching SC2 more than any other sports. A SC2 series is the ultimate test of will and skill, and the interactions mid series between two evenly matched players are sometimes fascinating.

Happy birthday SC2 I just hope they don't make a retarded ingame celebration like they did last year, man those hats kept me off the game for a freaking week.

I love SC2 because it's the most skill testing game I know and I can always find someone to talk to about it, as well as something to watch. I know that if I work hard in the game, I can see the results.

It is the only game I stopped really playing but continued watching a ton. At this point I don´t even
know why i love this game, I just do. I feel it might be a combination of the beauty of the game, watching amazing marine splits
and knowing the effort behind it and on the other hand the personalities. The second one is really important, there are not many games were the interaction and friendship is that big between Casters/Observer and Players, which is unique. (Dota isn´t anything like that) We aren´t the biggest e-sport anymore, but the most elitist and thats great. Cheers!

Remember seeing SC BW when I was ~10 years old. Loved it back then because it was so f-ing cool. Love it now because of how stimulating and rewarding it is to improve. And because of the life long relationship I've had to it..

There's so much to say but so few characters, I love sc2 but what connects me to them the most are players like Creator and innovation. I know they both care about playing and winning but they both show it differently, this says a lot about a person. How they handle challenges and how they cope with defeat, we get to see it all, players like Curious and soO really inspire me. To stand up and fall and stand up again just to fall and repeat this cycle until nothing can knock you down, sc2 is a mental and cerebral(lol) game but not just based on the strategy in that one game or BO mindgames. Its a mental game on so many levels before you even sit down in the booth. So many dimensions that affects who will, in the end be the champion and today! This month, Curious and soO are those champions, that makes me so happy!
