Writing for SC2GG

Unfortunately for the pageviews of jwdunn.com, I have discovered yet another hobby to distract me from writing here. This week I agreed to cover SK Telecom T1’s 2008 Proleague season for the Starcraft fansite SC2GG.

As I mentioned in my introduction to Starcraft progaming several months ago, the Proleague is the main arena for team competition in Starcraft. Its 2008 season is sponsored by Shinhan Bank and will host matches between twelve different teams—each with its own sponsors, players, and coaches. The four best regular-season records will earn their squads playoff berths and a chance at a world championship in the Grand Final.

At the moment, SC2GG is heavy in content but lacking in organization and style. I’ve been following its contributors for some time and decided it would be cool to tap my interest in professional Starcraft to produce some interesting articles and help SC2GG develop.

I’ll be writing a couple short articles every week, covering T1’s matches and analyzing its upcoming schedule. Feeling zealous about having my own beat, today I wrote a lengthy first article. It’s a season preview that takes a detailed look at T1’s roster.

From now on I’ll be throwing my posts at SC2GG on the linklist. T1 isn’t nearly the best team in the Proleague this year, but it has a rich history and a few of my favorite players. I’m excited about the prospect of T1 qualifying for the playoffs and, as always, the prospect of writing about something I enjoy.
