We thought we would keep the hype alive, to honour all you die-hards out there who kept the torch burning for 12 years…
Last month the internet was ablaze with StarCraft 2 launch material from all over the world. Megarom, Do Gaming and ASUS teamed up to bring StarCraft 2 to us South Africans, and it was epic. I know a few people who couldn’t wait for the 27th of July. 
Thanks to the irreverent Mr. Steven Tu, the new Marketing Manager of Asus, we cracked the nod to be at the event. Follow him on Twitter: @tuism (sorry I had to).
The launch took place at Sound Room in Kyalami, and you knew something huge was about to go down. Firstly because, of the groups of gamers vibrating with excitement. I kid you not, if we had dimmed the lights you would have seen people covered in lumo yellow, glowing with excitement and transcending the mere planes of human kind.
The launch started with a quick tournament with pre-selected players, and Asus computers with can you believe it…Starcraft one, just to remind you why you were at the launch in the first place. The tournament was, really intense; I’m not going to lie. The guys who took to the stage were composed, knew their shit and were not new to StarCraft. But, of course they had to be composed, the prizes were huge.
1st Prize
G60Jx Gaming Laptop
Starcraft 2 Limited Edition Game
Razer Gaming Bundle
R3000 Cash Prize
The gamers featured:
- Dreamer
- Shase
- Angry African (My fave, I like a bit of flair)
- McNoob
- Alcardu
- Kreefle
- Rubilac
- Azul
The guys were chosen according to their rankings and are the best SA has to offer the StarCraft universe. Every game was filled with an amazing strategy, showcasing that StarCraft is in fact more
than a game. It’s a phenomenon!
P.s Congrats to Travis “Shase” Weedon who whipped some serious A55!
