MLG Winter Championship Columbus 2012 - AKTUALIZACJA Data Publikacji : 26.03.2012 Ocena: 5/5 (3) MLG Winter Championship Columbus 2012 - AKTUALIZACJA Data publikacji : 26.03.2012 Ocena: 5/5 (3) Już w ten weekend rozegrany zostanie pierwszy w tym roku MLG Pro Circuit w mieście Columbus. Oczywiście jak zwykle nie zabrakło plejady gwiazd, począwszy od Koreańczyków, kończąc na najlepszych zagranicznych graczach na świecie! Turniej odbędzie się w dniach 23-25 marca, o formacie rozgrywek pisaliśmy już trochę w pierwszym MLG Arena, tym razem pula nagród wyniesie aż 76.000$ z czego 25.000$ przypadnie dla zwycięzcy. Oczywiście jak zawsze odbędą się rozgrywki grupowe, 4 grupy i gry open bracket, z którego 8 najlepszych graczy zakwalifikuje się do fazy grupowej. Znamy więc 16 graczy z grup, w tym aż 8 Koreańczyków. Grupy wyglądają następująco: Jednak wiele ciekawych gier odbędzie się jak zawsze w open bracket, w tej edycji lista zapisanych graczy wygląda naprawdę imponująco, zobaczymy wielu graczy z Europy i Korei: Sheth, Thorzain, Idra, Artist, Killer, Morrow, Hasuobs, Incontrol, aLive, Catz, Select, Puma, Rain, TLO, Machine, tyler, Polt, Stephano, Jinro, Bling, JYP, Golden, Sleep, Heart, Kiwikaki, Destiny, Symbol i wielu innych. Całą listę graczy można zobaczyć tutaj. Jeśli dobrze liczę, w open bracket zobaczymy aż 14 Koreańczyków! Szykuje się masa niesamowitych gier! ● Oczy wszystkich skierowane będą na open bracket, w którym będzie grał Polt i Stephano, ten drugi zapowiedział, że jeśli zajmie wysokie pozycje w 3 lanach w USA - Lone Star Clash (który wygrał), MLG i IPL4 to przedłuży swoją karierę progamera o kolejny rok. Patrząc na dotychczasową formę Stephano i graczy, których ostatnio pokonał, można pokusić się o stwierdzenie, że zagrozić mogą mu tylko Koreańczycy poziomu GSL Code S, to jest DRG, Parting, Ganzi, MC, Polt i aLive, ewentualnie Naniwa, który pokazał świetną formę na MLG Arena pokonując dwóch najlepszych zergów na świecie. Stephano w chwili obecnej jest bezapelacyjnie najlepszym foreign graczem na świecie! Będzie to epicki turniej MLG! Nagrody: 1. 25.000$ 2. 15.000$ 3. 9000$ 4. 5500$ 5-6. 3500$ 7-8. 2250$ 9-12. 1500$ 13-16. 1000$ Casterzy: Tasteless, Artosis, djWHEAT, Day(9), Rob Simpson, itmeJP.

  • Understanding Professional Gaming
    STOCKHOLM SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATION MSC IN BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS MASTER’S THESIS Understanding professional gaming A comparative analysis of Korean and Western organisations Kristofer Lindahl (40216) and Cedric Diserens (40218) 10/12/2012 Supervisor : Johan Berglund Examiner : Dag Björkegren Abstract In this thesis we seek to explore how “Professional Gaming Teams” in Korea and the western world are different from each other, and the underlying reasons for those differences. We perform an extensive pre-study that provides a deeper understanding of the eSport environment, identify theoretical frameworks to explain the differences between teams, and apply these frameworks to explain how the external environment affects the internal culture of the teams. In order to do this, we conduct critical interviews with game developers, tournament organizers, and team managers. We combine these sources with podcasts, news articles, and other types of media produced by the very active eSport community to create a foundational understanding of a market that has received next to no attention in academic circles. We employ McKinsey’s 7s framework to show how the internal workings of Professional Gaming Teams in Korea are different from those in the west. We also utilize PESTLE model, as well as Porter’s Five Forces to analyze the external environment of the eSport market. These three models provide a holistic approach and a broad understanding of forces that were, until recently, unexplored in the eSport industry. The results of our thesis show that it is external influences that cause Korean and Western teams to focus on different dimensions of their organizations.

  • Protoss Versus Zerg: the Guide
    Written by Alejandrisha, CecilSunkure, rsvp, Teoita, and monk with additional support from wo1fwood, Blazinghand, and others II PREFACE top We, members of the TL and the Starcraft community, present to you the following guide that is yet unmatched in quality and depth. Although the strategy section of Teamliquid contains many great guides, there has never been an attempt to completely cover a single match-up as in-depth as what we have done here. The following is a culmination of nine months of work, nine months of writing, formatting, referencing, editing, and reviewing. The resulting product follows, a reference guide of the PvZ match-up that spans approximately 100 pages. We’ve written this guide with the entire community in mind, as all Starcraft enthusiasts will benefit from either a through reading, a cursory glance, or an occasional reference. • Low level Protoss players can learn basic builds and concepts of the match-up, including how to open, how to transition, scouting, and unit counters. Each of the main builds will have detailed benchmarks so you may compare your results to optimal ones by professional players. • Mid level Protoss players in the diamond to high masters range will benefit the most as they will be able to fill in certain strategical holes in their play. • Professional level players can use this guide as a reference as it contains a small library of vods and replays with regards to every aspect of PvZ. • Zerg players will see a Protoss perspective on the match-up as well as have a clean layout of all the options Protoss have against them.

He is the eighteenth recipient of the honor, which is the highest official award the federal government bestows for distinguished achievement in the humanities.

  • Esport: Den Professionella Sidan Och Vägen Dit
    eSport: Den professionella sidan och vägen dit Daniel Lahti Per Nyström Institutionen för informatik Utbildningsprogrammets namn Examensarbete på kandidatnivå, 15 hp SPB 2013.25 1 Abstract Computer games is a growing market with over millions of players that are playing and/or enjoying the play of games on a daily basis. The nerdy gamers that once were, are now becoming professional athletes in the virtual world called eSport. We have identified a lack of studies in this area which implies that there is little data of what it is. In this paper we have focused on the phenomena that is eSport and more closely on the game series Starcraft made by Blizzard Entertainment. Our focus lies in the game series Starcraft and eSport organisations mainly outside South Korea. To our help we have used a qualitative method interview as well as digital media found on various webpages. The aim of this paper is to add and develop the understanding of eSport on how to become a professional player or participant and how serious they are in their field. The paper contributes with starting information on the phenomenon but also restricts itself to saying that there is more research to be done in field. 2 Innehållsförteckning 1. Inledning 4 1.1.
