August GSL Code S finals results ==> http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2011_Global_StarCraft_II_League_August/Code_S

I didn't get to watch the games (too much football and hockey on Sunday) but hopefully I'll catch the VODs this week.

An interesting discussion about lowered graphic settings  http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=264933

I play pretty much on the lowest settings possible more out of necessity than anything but it seems like it might not be such a bad thing.

Another thing I like to do when laddering is crank music!  I love just cranking tunes for this game (pretty aggressive music seems right for me - I know a lot of the streamers I watch like hip-hop / dance / dub stuff....but that doesn't do it for me).  Here are some of the bands I like.

All That Remains is probably my favorite thing to listen to when driving or playing Starcraft 2 :)

Protess the Hero is a great Canadian band that just rocks it!

DT duh? Dark Templar....Dream Theater....you see the relationship :)

And now a match. Here is a great little documentary following Starcraft 2 in it's first year. You can see some of the Korean crazyness (GSL) the game is so huge in Korea.
