Today marked the milestone in life for my nerd side because today was my first ever Barcraft gathering! The scene was huge with about 150 or so attendees at the Exchange Hotel where the GSL Code S was broadcast. You know it'll be super when you and a hundred or so people who love Starcraft gather for drinks while the competition unfolds.
Just plain AWESOMENESS!
So many of you maybe wondering what is this Barcraft?
Well to start things, Barcraft is an event where a bunch of male geeks (and occasionally female) come together and watch Starcraft 2 at a bar. This phenomenon started in the US where social gatherings for the American Football and NBA at bars are the norm. So with this idea in mind, why not e-sports (game sports) too?
Barcraft Melbourne
With the growing numbers of gamer and spectator of SC2 across the globe, the Barcraft scene has grown exponentially over the last few months with a total of 20 countries currently hosting at least one Barcraft a month.
Barcraft Seattle, CA
Barcraft Irving, US
Barcraft Montreal, CA
Barcraft Montreal, CA
Still don't get it?
Here's a video to help you better understand 'Barcraft'.
So, if you're into e-sports or getting into it... do check Team Liquid for any barcraft events being held in your country, the chances for one is abnormally high.
Cheers to DRG and Genius!
