I don't know how many people are interested in this on here, but back during the Blizzard vs Relic poll there seemed to be a reasonable amount of people who liked SC... so!
As a lot of people - I'm sure - are aware, Starcraft is a bit of a big thing in Korea, with games on TV, progamers paid huge sums to play the game for a living and all that... Well, the non-Korean scene isn't nearly as impressive, but we still put on a few big events every year, and there's still thousands of people playing. Now with Starcraft 2 right around the corner (Blizzard "Soon" anyway), we are hosting what will - perhaps - be the last big non-korean event: The Pokerstrategy Teamliquid Starleague.
About a year ago, we hosted the first incarnation of TSL, the Razer TSL with about 10,000$ in prizes, with games broadcasted and casted, if you are interested you can view more of it here:

Well, tomorrow the PS TSL (this time with over 20,000$ in prizes) kicks off with the first broadcasted game between Greg "IdrA" Fields, an American Terran progamer living in Korea, and Protoss player Tyler "NonY" Wasieleski, another American, with experience playing in Korea as well. The battle is for a direct seed into the Round of 16, played between the first place finisher of the qualifier ladder (IdrA) and the 4th place finisher of last years TSL (NonY).

If you are interested in watching, live stream links will be posted here at the time of the event:

If people care, I'd be happy to update this thread - if I remember to - when other games are played, and if not, well, no harm done
I read through the forum rules, and am not entirely sure if this would qualify as advertisement or not, but if it does I'm terribly sorry and will of course not try to make any further posts about it.
