Stars War: Reborn Euro qualifier day one results


The Stars War European qualifier kicked off today with a round of four matches, one from each of the four groups. 
 
In group A we saw Russian undead Dmitriy "Happy" Kostin take on Swedish human player Marcus "Thorzain" Eklöf. Things got off to a rough start with Happy disconnecting from the initial map, leaving behind his clear advantage, but unfortunately for the Swede, Happy's matinée performance was eclipsed by his encore. Game two fell in favour of Happy once again, a convincing two nil victory for the Russian.

WhO defeats Reignofdark to win ZOTAC #123, replay pack included


Du Seop "WhO" Chang managed to come out on top of this weeks ZOTAC Cup after a three to nil victory over German opponent Tobias "Reignofdark" Muth. ZOTAC regulars Sung Sik "ReMinD" Kim and Moonfans were also amongst WhO's opponents this week. 

This brings WhO's first place cup collection to a respectable grand total of five. A far cry from his crowning achievement at the ESWC 2008 Grand Finals, but a feather for his cap none the less.

SK Gaming has put together a replay pack which you can download here.

Malystryx on djwheat's LO3 tomorrow night


Replays.net contributor Lawrence "Malystryx" Phillips will be making a guest appearance on 'Live on Three' tomorrow night to discuss his recently published article, "Warcraft in Europe - Grim Reaper Calling."

In the article, Lawrence discusses the condition of the professional Warcraft 3 community in Europe and the inescapable truth that it's picking up significant speed in its descent. Big money tournaments are few and far between, the two staples of online competition, NGL and WC3L, have all but disappeared and teams rooted in Europe who have long supported Warcraft 3 players, have decided to drop their teams.

As sad as it is, it does make for interesting discussion, so be sure you tune Sunday night at 22:00 CET to listen in, or, if the opportunity presents itself, participate in the discussion yourself.

Stars War European Qualifier Broadcast


As of about 10 minutes ago, I've signed on to broadcast the Stars War European qualifier. If you're interested in following the event, you can find the broadcast schedule on the right-hand side of the page. Those of you not keen on live streams can follow the matches through WTV or GTV, both of which should be available for each and every match.

VOD's of the matches should be available shortly after airing.

VOD section now up

I've decided to set up a VOD section for just about every Warcraft related video I can find. So far there's only an interview section up, but I will be adding sections for documentaries, informational pieces and broadcast matches, both esportglobal's and classic matches.

The interview section has just over 50 interviews posted so far, so have a flick through and see if there's any you missed.

There's also a useful links section at the bottom of the page which I'll continue adding to and I also hope to have a replays section up at some point in the near future.
