In some cases, across the planet.As one of the more active online gamers at RPGFan, I've long considered online gaming tournaments here. Now, this dream takes life in The RPGFan Online Gaming Tournament for StarCraft and StarCraft: Brood War. Blizzard Entertainment's RTS strategy game is one of the most popular on the market. With 3 races strugling for control of the universe, it's your turn to kick some serious butt. With that, we now have RPGFan's latest adventure. Let's get down to it, shall we? Tournament Date Friday, March 10th. Gaming starts at 6 PM EST. All players should report to channel "RPGFan" for gaming assignments. StarCraft players. No Brood War expansion set. For those of you who own only the original StafCraft, you are welcome to join the tournament. Please make sure you upgrade to version 1.07 of StarCraft by connecting to battle.net. StarCraft: Brood War players. You are also welcome to join the tournament. However, due to the fact that running 2 brackets would leave us with 2 winners who are unable to compete for championship, you will be playing the standard version of StarCraft without using your expansion pack. This is possible by selecting "Original" on the multiplayer screen.
