Be it Tournaments, regular matches, or ungodly skills. This thread is for you. I made a thread similar to this in the past on several other boards but alas died quickly due to interest in the professional gaming world.

I for one watch on Direct TV the IEM once a year. Which is quickly becoming popular year by year. Last year's matchup included Quake Live, WoW, Counterstrike, and more. Next year will hold the best of the best of Starcraft 2, Unreal Tournament 3, and even Team Fortress 2.

IEM is on par with MLG, and I like both a lot! I just like IEM due to it being more "Mature" than MLG. Only problem with IEM is the gaming lineup. MLG covers just about every other game on the market. But IEM has seriously badass players facing off against one another.

Now before I link videos I will say that right now on my end. I am #21 in the USA PSN server on Unreal Tournament 3. I made it to #4 for only a week before someone with a seriously high K/D ratio stomped me. I wanted to make it to MLG but alas I don't have the time to make it on. If I did; I would.

And now for some videos. If you can't tell I love Quake and Unreal Tournament. I just love fast paced FPS games.

"This is Quake 3: Sk!a"



Ska is one serious dude. From norway, I tend to alt-quit whenever I see his name pop up on Quake Live. He is that good. There are other people in this video as well, and they are all in his Clan (I forget the name; it changes like once every two weeks I guess). Also, Cooler, who is also shown playing in this video made 2nd place in this year's IEM tournament (He walked away with $3,600). Both Cooler and the USA champ (Who won 1st. I forgot his name) played a phenomenal match that lasted over an hour and a half! Sk!a lost because of a fuckup he did during a 3v3 match.

"Korean Starcraft OSL 2007 - Official Best 10 Games No.01"

Starcraft and Korea. Who would have thought Korea would turn Starcraft into a sport?



Now I am no pro. But I do know my way around this game. But not like these guys. In order to pass their "Boot Camp" (Yes, there is one in Korea Starcraft) you have to have over 400 APM (Actions per minute). Your average SC2 American player holds only 200. And there are videos on what you see when Koreans type on their keyboard. I won't link that. But instead; this 20+ minute long video showcases some AMAZING gameplay mechanics.

If you want to watch more Korean Starcraft in action. Head over to Somethingawful's "Let's watch Pro Starcraft"

That's all I am linking for now. I have a TON of videos but I want to see some videos you have.
