Sweet Dude!

iGames is proud to present to you the Killer Launch Detected Tournament, sponsored by Bigfoot Networks and Alienware.  Check out the link through GamerzFunk.  This is a 1v1 tournament hosted across the U.S. and Canada at local gaming centers.  I hesitate to post this on here, as it isn't necessarily a "local" tournament, but because it is played at local gaming centers, I'll throw it up here anyway.  Registration ends September 5th, so hurry and register!  Over $1600 in prizes will be given to the top 16 players.  So, represent the Utah SC2 community and sign up for this awesome tournament today.  Click here to register!  Good luck to those that sign up!

It's Official!

You know that feeling you get when some random noob proxy gates you and you hold if off with the most excellent micro?  You know what I mean...that huge grin you get on your face and the huge sigh of relief when you see that "gg" and your lame opponent vanished into the deep, dark depths of Bnet 2.0?  Well, that's the same feeling you're going to get when you win the Official Utah Starcraft 2 Tournament at Versus Gaming on September 11th @ 3:00 pm (except your opponent won't magically vanish into the blues of Bnet 2.0; you'll have to probably stand up, shake hands, hug maybe, and congratulate each other).  Bring your 20 bones and free up your afternoon, because this tournament is going to be epic!  With over $200 in prizes, this opportunity is way too good to pass up.  So, spread the word and invite everyone and their dog (and their dog's dog).

Check out  the official flier above provided by Versus Gaming for more details and directions to their place.  Email info@versusgamingcenter.com with any questions you may have.  This is going to be an event you won't want to miss!

Ahh! You scared me!

Welcome, welcome, welcome! I've decided to set up this blog in hopes to bring the Starcraft 2 community here in Utah together! You'll be surprised at just how many people play this game. During the beta, a 16-player tournament was held at Versus Gaming Center in Provo. Due to the donation of a generous player, the winner walked away with 50 bones. In early July, the thought of having a Starcraft 2 tournament at the GEEX expo was just a wish. When would phase 2 of the beta return? Luckily, just in time! The tournament organizers at GEEX quickly threw together a tournament and Starcraft 2 was well represented. This blog is intended to inform the Utah community of any updates and local tournaments that are occuring right here.

I am hoping to announcement any local tournaments or public LAN parties that anyone wants to host. Due to real life commitments, I can't garauntee I will be the most diligent at participating in tournaments. However, I do feel like I can find the time to at least post tournaments and updates on here and keep the community informed. If you are interested in helping out with any blog posts or tournament organizing, please feel free to contact me. I will do all that I can to get the competitive scene rolling and to keep it interesting. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please, let me know! I'd love to hear your ideas. I've got a few in mind and wouldn't mind running it by someone else to see what they think. So, again, if you'd like to have a hand in Starcraft Utah, please contact me. I don't have much skills in graphic design, so decorating this site wouldn't be my fortee. If you have any skills at graphic design and would be intersted in helping this site look as professional as possible, please contact me @ starcraftutah@gmail.com
