The Great Starcraft Betting Scandal (51 comments)

( Major News: SC2)

Posted by ReDeYe @ 14:00 CDT, 21 April 2010 - iMsg

Over at Cadred, Richard Lewis reviews the South Korean Starcraft betting scandal that has rocked e-sports. The article is a highly researched and brilliantly written piece for those of us in the West who know a little about Starcraft, but may not be aware of the betting scandal which has hit Korean esports recently.

Obligatory excerpt:

"At a little before two o’clock in the afternoon the site news.naver.com broke a story that would send shockwaves not only round the country, but around the world. It alleged that it had uncovered details of an illegal gambling ring that was fixing the outcome of high profile Starcraft matches to buck the odds and earn significant profits. It also alleged that unnamed notable players had been involved with the scam, as well as key members of their organisations."

You can read the entire in-depth article on cadred.org.

European Quake League Playoffs (7 comments)

( Major Article: Q1)

Posted by Zalon @ 11:49 CDT, 21 April 2010 - iMsg

It's Playoff time in the European Quake League, after 7 weeks of group games, the 8 playoff teams from each division have been found. With 3 divisions we can look forward to 12 quality matches during the next 3 weeks.

To compliment the teams on a successful season with a great amount of activity, we felt the only decent thing to do was to write a preview for all of the upcoming playoff matches. We've included some info about each team, their way to the playoffs, and a prediction on the result.

Thanks to

Rikoll and

Hooraytio for their Division 1 and Division 2 reviews.

Everyone else is free to throw in their own predictions in the comments.

Esports Calendar launched, includes QL! (30 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by ReDeYe @ 11:24 CDT, 19 April 2010 - iMsg

It was only recently that esports saw one of its busiest weekends as events across all of Europe took place at the same time. As esports continues to expand it can be hard to keep track of what is happening when, even for the most well informed of enthusiasts.
With this in mind Heaven Media have launched Esports Calendar, a website dedicated to keeping track of all the events taking place across the globe, from when and where right down to the details such as prize money and where to sign-up.

The idea behind the site is simple - provide a means for esports enthusiasts and tournament organisers to be able to see what events are happening and at what dates and times. We hope that this is something the wider community will be able to use effectively and will help improve the understanding and communication within the esports scene.

The site comes with a filter facility so users can quickly search for events and tournaments relating to specific games. There is also a user submissions option enabling everyone to draw attention to events happening in their part of the world that might otherwise have been missed.

Heaven Media are committed to getting the best out of the site's functionality and content. For that we will need feedback from the users and wider community. If you can think of any improvements that can be made then simply leave your thoughts as comments to this announcement.

To see the site for yourself first hand head over to esportscalendar.com.
