It doesn't get much bigger than this. The prize for this tournament is 12 BTC, which at the time of writing exchanges for over $10,000. This would be a large prizepool for your average tournament but it is the largest prizepool for a single showmatch in Starcraft 2 history. This prizepool has been provided by bitcoin enthusiasts and companies who wish to represent and promote the growth of the cryptocurrency. Date and Time :- Saturday, 21st December - 12pm EST Format :- Best of 7. Map pool TBA. Casters :- TotalBiscuit and forthcoming guest commentator Stream :- http://www.twitch.tv/totalbiscuit VoDs :- http://www.youtube.com/totalbiscuit Title: Re: #BitcoinStarcraft December 21 - 12 BTC Prize Post by: flix on December 16, 2013, 03:26:22 PM The prize pool keeps growing...
https://blockchain.info/address/1MirYx1xCN8erPPwKMBAqJZPoqvUmnpiSf As a showcase of how easy to use and fast bitcoin is the 'caster and organiser @totalbiscuit will pay the winner his prize on live streaming right after the match ends... I can't wait to see thousands of viewers going "wow, that took 5 seconds! I gotta try out this Bitcoin thing".

Title: Re: #BitcoinStarcraft December 21 - 12 BTC Prize Post by: flix on December 18, 2013, 02:58:54 PM Wow.. just the teamliquid announcement thread has 70.000+ views!
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/index.php?show_part=36 I think we can expect the streaming channels and youtube videos to have a huge impact. It looks like the SC2 community is as active as the Bitcoin community, and far more numerous. If pro SC2 players and casters start getting into BTC, it's going to be huge. Title: Re: #BitcoinStarcraft December 21 - 12 BTC Prize Post by: Frost000 on December 18, 2013, 03:11:15 PM This is a pretty awesome way to promote BTC. If gamers can finally get in on it on a mass scale... It would help a Hell of a lot!
Go Scarlett? Title: Re: #BitcoinStarcraft December 21 - 14 BTC Prize Post by: flix on December 19, 2013, 07:03:20 PM The Prize Pool is now up to 14 BTC, making the biggest showmatch in Starcraft 2 history.
Plus the Bitcoin address and QR are now highly visible here... http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=438453 Title: Re: #BitcoinStarcraft ** 14 BTC Prize ** December 21st Post by: flix on December 19, 2013, 11:46:39 PM Epic promo for the showmatch:

Title: Re: #BitcoinStarcraft ** 14 BTC Prize ** December 21st Post by: flix on December 20, 2013, 09:50:32 AM Wow this keeps getting better and better:
Quote Announcing our invited foreign language casters We have invited the following casters to provide foreign language streams for this event. * Italian Vasacast * Polish ZeddTV * Portuguese Pedroca * German inStarcraft.de * Russian Goodgame.ru * Vietnamese ClanSF We are still missing a French and Spanish caster and are continuing to take applications. Thank you to everyone who applied, we have selected what we believe will be the best exposure for the event from the applications we received. Title: Re: #BitcoinStarcraft ** 14 BTC Prize ** December 21st Post by: flix on December 20, 2013, 09:51:16 AM Title: Re: #BitcoinStarcraft ** 14 BTC Prize ** December 21st Post by: flix on December 21, 2013, 09:29:04 PM Well it looks like Naniwa won the series. The caster sent him the bitcoins live on stream in front of about 40k viewers... you can see the transaction here:
@totalbiscuit https://blockchain.info/address/1MirYx1xCN8erPPwKMBAqJZPoqvUmnpiSf @NaNiwaSC2 (got 11.2 BTC for winning) https://blockchain.info/address/182GHTrbefjZndqeTC1wjC88XS1UKuFvSK @AcerScarlett (will get 2.8 BTC) https://blockchain.info/address/1EpCMs6D5aQ3f2P8m2uiy2yAUAwE37gFhv As of right now the official thread has 205k+ views The live stream reached a peak of 40k+ viewers, and averaged about 35k, unique viewers was 143k on the English channel, but it was also cast in several other languages... ...and we can probably expect the replays to get at least 300k views on multiple Youtube channels... So visibility for Bitcoin and the sponsors was pretty good... I expect we'll see more Bitcoin-Starcraft interaction in the future.
