E-Stars Seoul is set to take place July 24-27, 2008. Stars from  the western European side of the world will be competing against the east Asian countries for both glory and prizes.

Candidates will be selected “50% from on-line poll result, 20% from achievements in 2007, 30% from the evaluation of the Continental Cup Committee,” according to E-Stars.

Voting will be open at http://www.estarsseoul.org.

Note: Yoan “ToD” Merlo, Warcraft III Human player, was not invited due to last year’s last minute drop involving a  conflict with tournament organizers.



Following Starcraft’s no-CD patch, Blizzard released one for Warcraft III. Needless to say, the community is a little less than pleased. The balance patch for Warcraft III was promised for last year, and has supposedly been Blizzard’s top priority. The enormous changelog follows:

-Warcraft III no longer requires to the CD to play.

Fans with peg legs and parrots will be overjoyed to know they have 700mb more space on their hard drive if they’re using ISOs, while the few of us still using an actual CD can rejoice and store it away when we reformat.
