Welcome to Trial of the Xel’Naga: Day 1. Tonight, Red Bull and Day[9]TV bring you StarCraft II eSports with a twist. YOU the spectator are granted super powers to join the game live and change the outcome!

Tonight’s theme is FIRE. Which players will the fires consume and which players will be imbued with a toasty inner fire? Tonight, you decide the fates and choose to implement crazy blessings or curses on the players. Trial of the Xel’Naga will consist of an 8-person single elimination 2v2 bracket. Rather than playing alone, each pro player will be joined by an amateur player chosen from the audience. Thursday and Friday, 4 players will play each night and 2 will advance. On Saturday, the advancing players will compete in the semifinals and finals matches.

edit: oh god i forgot how bad day9's scream hurts my speakers....and husky sounds weird

the game is boring if you don't know whats going on.

It's an extremely anti-noob friendly game.
wait, Dota2 isn't noob friendly? I thought the purpose of MOBA games (or whatever they're called) was that they're easy to learn, unlike SC2.

Starcraft 2, just build a random unit and you can win in lower league so its much easier for nubs. And you can see in spectating, is just units pew pew each other, bigger the unit is, more powerfull it is.


Dota2 just has a big knowledge barrier, i don't think you can watch a dota game without breaking it. But if your new and play with friends that can carry you and teach you and you are willing to listen then its a lot easier game, but if there is nobody to guide you then its pretty hard.

Well since it is a MOBA game the focus is ofcourse around one unit.

Startcraft offers a more deep strategic point of view then MOBA (of course, playing as a team is both + and - for me since you can execute team strategies BUT you can play good while rest shit and you lose, in SC2 you only blame yourself) in my eyes.

You can execute so many small actions that ripples away untill your opponent drowns in waves.

So it's a memory game.

Cool.

I still prefer a game that requires, you know, more than that.

Chess is all about memory and calculations - and you can win millions of $ in that.
