We just published a recap of the amazing growth in the past year, and touched on some of the issues facing the community. I had the pleasure of speaking to people throughout the industry, and I'm always struck by how passionate everyone is.

http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/274997/20120101/2011-year-esports-starcraft-2.htm

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

Thanks!

Thanks! The goal was to make it accessible to people who don't know anything about esports, but also provide some something for long-time fans. Hopefully that worked out somewhat.
