First of all, I'm not a native english speaker so be comprehensive if I make some mistake.

I'm a hearthstone player that, due to new starcraft hearthstone mini-set being so awesome, got curious about the game. I've already played some rts games such as Age of Empires 2 or Age of mythology with just a shallow comprehension of the mechanics.I thought this game had sucha high skill floor, where u had to be super competent just to enjoy the game. My surprise was seing that wasn't that hard to start playing.

I make this post to ask you guys about what to learn, where do I can find information, build orders... Another key aspect that I want to get information of is what faction to pick. I already now that Zerg is quite rare and APM reliant so I rather pick Protoss or Terran. Which one do you recomend me?

Thank you so much! :)

Original Title: SC: Evo just dropped patch 1.12! The team worked really hard over the Xmas break to bring you 3 new models, and the Beta Test of an UNRANKED LADDER mode! If you haven't played SC: Evo, consider giving it a shot again!

I realized that aside from GSL I haven't been watching much SC2. I'm just looking for a channel that puts out casts of high level games, I'm personally less interested in the POV of the creator playing.

Lately I've pretty much been watching T90 (AoE2) and ArtosisCasts (BW), and I'm looking to bring back SC2 into my feed.

Thanks 💙

Edit: Thanks everyone, I think I have plenty of creators to check out now :)

I found out that there is no SC2 at Katowice this year. I have not been following the SC2 scene strongly these days but I do tune into the big events like Katowice and EWC.

I know SC2 viewership numbers are not as strong as they were 10 years ago, but can anybody explain why SC2 was suddenly excluded from Katowice this year?

I understand that EWC also gets a lot of viewers and has a large prize pool for SC2. But Katowice occurs in early February, and time wise, it's far enough from when EWC occurs, which is expected sometime from June to August, so there shouldn't be any viewer fatigue or even an overlap in schedule.

Was ESL getting some type of funding in previous years to host SC2 at Katowice but this year, they don't get that funding anymore? Or is the SC2 community looking forward to EWC instead of Katowice, so ESL thinks the viewer numbers will be down for SC2 at Katowice? Or is there some other reason that ESL axed SC2 from Katowice this year?

Maxpax! Impressive 3-2 series versus Serral in the lower bracket semis and then a decisive 4-1 versus Clem to win it. MaxPax also beat Dark and Reynor in this tournament proving that he is a real PvZ monster!

Vent/PSA post. Was kind of surprised when I got a notification today that they still took out money this month. We are now over 7 months out since the last GSL games were played and they are still collecting our money monthly with no announcement.

I'm happy to support it if I know it's continuing but imo continuing to take money when the scene seems dead and we haven't had a major event since August is kind of messed up. Decided to cancel my sub until they announce something and acknowledge the money they've collected for the past 7 months will be used for the next event. Even now the subs are still almost 6 grand a month USD and I'd imagine it was a lot higher for the first couple months after the last season ended. They've likely accepted at least 50k from fans since the last GSL game was played. Hopefully they announce something soon or refund the money.

Hello, r/starcraft,

HyperONE here. I recently came across a fix online that allows users to view old 5.0.12 and 5.0.13 replays. I have no clue how it works under the hood, but as it is a manual process that involves copying, pasting, and moving stuff around on your drive, I wrote a program to automate it. After some testing, I feel that it is now mature enough to share here:

Please read all the disclaimers in the README on the Github repository before using the program.

Note that you need to have owned paid game content in StarCraft II during these versions in order to be able to view old replays from those versions with this workaround.

Thanks for reading. I hope some of you get plenty of use out of this.

If you like to play Hearthstone and love StarCraft, well now it is online, well from few days ago.

I quite love the art they have made with this, and in general really like the cards, although a lot are missing. Regardless the Hearthstone community talks about it a lot, and show their love.

So if you haven't heard about it, go and take a look :)

StarCraft is undeniably one of the most iconic games in gaming history. Its groundbreaking gameplay and rich lore captured the hearts of millions worldwide. Today, I want to shed light on two obscure expansions: ScumCraft and Game On! für StarCraft. These forgotten add-ons are a fascinating piece of StarCraft history that deserve more attention.

ScumCraft (1998)

This expansion is a mix of custom maps, campaigns, and cheats for the original StarCraft. According to its promotional material:

  • 21 custom scenarios
  • 75 multiplayer maps
  • 3 full campaign

Despite these features, ScumCraft is considered "lost media" today. Some people still own physical copies, but no downloadable ISO or digital preservation exists. Only a handful of YouTube videos and auction listings keep its memory alive.

Game On! für StarCraft (1998)

The second expansion, Game On!, seems to be even rarer. Its back cover promises:

  • 30 new single-player maps
  • 100 multiplayer levels
  • 3 campaigns with voiceovers
  • Cheats, updated patches, and detailed strategy guides for all factions.

The bizarre alien on the cover and its mysterious origins only add to its intrigue. Aside from a listing on MobyGames and a few eBay auctions, no other info about it is available.

Why This Matters

These expansions might not have the polish of Blizzard’s official releases, but they are still a part of StarCraft's cultural footprint. They represent the passion of modders and developers who extended the game in unique ways. It would be fun to play these expansions if we can find them! If you know of any other rare expansions, please share.

How You Can Help

  • Do you have any information about ScumCraft or Game On! für StarCraft?
  • Do you own a copy or know someone who does?
  • Have you played these expansions or seen them in action?

Let’s come together as a community to uncover and preserve these lost pieces of StarCraft history. Your knowledge, files, or even memories could help bring these forgotten expansions back to life.

Let’s make sure these lost expansions are restored.
