SC2GG Presents

The StarCraft Flashback
Let the Good Times Roll. Again.


The SC Flashback is a special feature looking back at various highlights over the past ten years of Brood War progaming. Everything from BoxeR to Flash, YellOw to Jaedong, and pelvic thrusts to rage quits will be covered throughout the course of the series. Hope you enjoy!


In Today's Edition: The Best of... Ceremonies

Between BoxeR and Rock, HiyA and UpMagiC and of course the king of swing firebathero, Brood War progaming certainly has had its fair share of epic ceremonies throughout its decade of existence. In the first edition of the SC Flashback, we'll be looking back at some of the most memorable of the bunch as we relive the golden age of BW.

SC2GG Weekly Tournament #2 - EU Server


This tournament is over.

Congratulations on the winner of this week! Good job borislav.633


Another amusing Weeky that was. Last week's finalist RoX.219 got kicked out in the first round, and last week's 2nd place Censured.395 lost his second round game. All of this leading to a bunch of new players in Ro4 and finals. Very exciting games! You can find the replays below.

And of course big thanks to PiF stepping up to do the live casting on this one day that Greth couldn't make it. Thanks a lot, you did a great job!

NA Weekly Tournament #4
This tournament is over.

Congratulations on the winner of this week! Good job Spades.206

Thank you to all the players that came out this week. We had a lot of new faces in the tournament. This has also been the largest SC2 Weekly we have had yet. The tournament took a little over 3 hours to complete. As we grow we want the tournament to continue to be fast paced so please read all the rules so you are prepared before the tournaments starts. All the up to date information including rules, results, map polls, etc, can be found in our forums. As we grow we will continue to work on making this a fun experience for everyone.

For all those people that are efhiro (neobowman) fans he did not let anyone down. He has now won his 4th 3rd place match in a row!

The tournament was casted by BigPie @ livestream.com/hundredplus

BigPie has done a great job casting the tournament from beginning to end. He has also helped up promote the tournament. Special thanks to BigPie as usual and also his co-caster Richard.

Commentator of the Week
In This Edition: FTWBroadcasting


Commentator of the Week is a SC2GG special where we introduce new and upcoming commentators from around the scene. This season we're bringing out the new StarCraft 2 casters, many of which have spawned over the past month since the game's release.

In today's edition, we're talking to the men behind FTWBroadcasting, a new StarCraft 2 duo similar to MattandSteveSC. Awall and Danny are about as fresh as commentators come, but they've already pitched in several commentaries on some of the biggest names in the business at the moment, including TLO.

To get a taste of the team, check out this cast featuring TLO vs. mouzHasu:

Commentator Announcements

Commentator of the Week Returns!

Hey casters! In the past, we used to run a weekly installment of Commentator of the Week, highlighting new casters trying to make it big. With SC2 out, it seems like a lot of new players are jumping on board, so I thought it would be great to bring this segment back.

This time, however, instead of me coming to you, I'll be using this thread to pick out the cream of the crop each and every week. Post up your best vids and if possible a reason why you should be Commentator of the Week. If selected, you might see your page on ours in the near future. The first installment will go out this weekend, so get your stuff up now if you want to be selected!

Good luck commentators!
