I had a chance to interview Greg "IdrA" Fields on the Valor tournament, his Korean teammates' reactions to foreigner tournaments, and thoughts on trends in the foreigner StarCraft scene.

My life's a little insane right now, but I'm determined to bring everyone updates about the Cotter StarCraft Cup. Right now I've started a news blog over at cstarleague.org/cottercup which will have continuing updates on matchups, times, and stream locations. I'll be updating this post with new information this afternoon. The KAIST vs. Tsinghua quarterfinals match in particular will be very exciting! Stay tuned ... Edit:

My Op Ed article on the Collegiate StarLeague and Korean StarCraft finally got published in the Harvard Crimson. You can check it out here - it's currently the #2 most read article on the Crimson website, which is very gratifying (let's make it #1!). Here's a snippet: "Instead of pads and helmets, this sport merely requires a computer, keyboard, mouse, and Internet connection. These tools are standard for any … More
