How we track StarCraft II
Coverage spans IEM Katowice, GSL Code S (Korea's flagship league), ESL Pro Tour, DreamHack, and Homestory Cup.

How to watch StarCraft II live
IEM and ESL Pro Tour events stream on twitch.tv/ESL_SC2 with English casts. Korea's GSL streams on twitch.tv/AfreecaTV_AOS plus YouTube; the English broadcast is Tasteless and Artosis, two of the longest-tenured esports casters anywhere. DreamHack runs its own Twitch channel. Homestory Cup, the long-running community event in Krefeld, has a more relaxed party-tournament vibe and is worth catching at least once if you've never seen one.
Frequently asked questions about StarCraft II
What is the de-facto SC2 world championship?
IEM Katowice, held each February in Poland. There hasn't been an official world championship since the BlizzCon WCS Global Finals ended in 2018, but Katowice's prize pool, top-team attendance, and continuous history since 2014 make it the closest thing the scene has to a world title.
What is GSL?
The Global StarCraft II League – Korea's flagship tier-1 league, longest-running in SC2 (since 2010). Code S is the top division. The English broadcast on Afreeca and YouTube features Tasteless and Artosis, two of the longest-tenured esports casters anywhere. They've been calling Korean StarCraft for over fifteen years and the Tastosis broadcast is a genuine institution in this scene.
What are the three SC2 races?
Terran (humans, mobile bio/mech armies), Protoss (psionic aliens, expensive but powerful units), and Zerg (insect-like swarm, fast economy). Players pick one race and stick with it. Race balance is a perennial debate; Blizzard pulled official SC2 development support but the community-led Balance Council still ships balance patches between major tournament seasons.
Why do Korean players dominate?
StarCraft has been a national esport in Korea since the early 2000s – full-time training houses, dedicated coaching staff, and the deepest player pool in the world. The original StarCraft: Brood War scene was on Korean broadcast TV. The competitive infrastructure was years ahead of everywhere else, and the talent pipeline never really stopped, even as the foreign scene contracted.
