An Introduction to Pro-Starcraft by Cholera (P3/3)

Hello and welcome to all new Starcraft fans! I hope this video will help you understand some of the basic terms and tournaments of pro-Starcraft, so you can enjoy casted games more fully. For more "experienced" viewers of mine, thanks for tuning in, and another compilation video will be coming soon.

Hope you enjoy.

NOTE: I mention a Proleague rule that a team can't play two players from the same race twice in row - this is actually wrong. There is a rule, though, that in the first four games of each best-of-5 Proleague match all three races must be played at least once. Thanks for the corrections!

By the way, add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL if you can't see the writing clearly on the slides.

Very helpful series of videos here. Especially the explanation of the various tournaments and their structures. Could you clue us in as to where to watch these games? Besides the ones you, Klaz, Diggity, Moletrap, etc. cast.

The Jon747 YouTube account has original, Korean-commentated videos of every pro-SC game released.

Which game did Stork do that play that was in the clip?

[CholeraSC]

That was ForGG v Stork in the WCG Korea qualifiers; you can find them in my video archives.

awesome! got me thinking, someone should do a video regarding strategies and there nicknames like the Bisu build or going 9pool or 12hatch, etc...

Q: got me thinking, someone should do a video regarding strategies and there nicknames like the Bisu build or going 9pool or 12hatch, etc...

A: I do want to do a video like that, possibly with examples of each build, but right now I just don't have the time. I can see if another commentator might have time to do something like this.

[Sin00b]

Thanks for the video. Can you do a quick rundown of common strategies in starcraft, such as why 9 hatch and overpool are used and why? Common opening stuff.

[Spenvo]

cholera. You were it back then, my first sc2 commentator. yes i still like moletrap,diggity, and now husky/hd. but comon, you were the MAN. come back!

[Aurabolt]

I mean, isn't the game just played normal? Hell, Foreign Starcraft is still pretty good players, right?

[tamubasketball]

BADASSSSSSS VIDEO!!!!!!!!

[raghna]

Yes, please, as someone new to the pro scene I would love such a thing. Playing Starcraft myself I'm very much interested in such knowledge!

Thank you very much for putting time and efford in this!

Cholera thanks so much for posting that, I just got into watching sc and was so confused on msl, osl, etc, this certainly cleared things up. It very overwhelming just jumping in and watching random games. do you have some links to some of those games you were showing, like firebathero crying, going into water, doing flip etc

[SiouxTube]

Wow, that was a really helpful run down of the Korean Starcraft scene. I was always confused about the MSL/MSt stuff and knowing that I can now go on to make banners for SC2GG without a doubt now.

Thanks Cholera.

sure, nick.

That was a nice video series; it helped clear up some of the tournament structure. My only objection is that I think Lil Susie is technically also a professional English StarCraft commentator, along with Nick Plott.
