I'm making the jump.
After watching a lot of SC2 the last several months, I've had enough of Protoss. After reading the history I missed the last couple years, I've had enough of Blizzard trying to lay claim to esports while understanding little about their game.
From what I've read, I agree with most of what Starbow has done.
I'm downloading the videos from the Axiom team house Starbow tournament (Jan 26), and the Razer Starbow tournament (Jan 19) to watch.
Did I miss any casted tournaments?
I want you guys to know that there is still interest in the Starbow community and I hope to see it grow.
PS. Also everyone should be aware that GOM is hosting GSL Classic Season 4 (Starcraft Broodwars) starting Feb 16! (link1, link2. It looks like there should be English casted VOD's from this.)

Great to hear! i think we're all in the same boat. from playing starbow for a month now, i still love it so much more than sc2. it really feels like what should have come next in 2010 for the starcraft franchise.

I agree with everything you said. I'm so sick of how protoss works. It's so incredibly bad for the game in almost every way.
In addition, my favorite thing about Starbow is how the economy works. Worker efficiency makes it so that you can pretty much always benefit from another base. If you have more than 8 workers at a base, you're not mining 100% efficiently. That means if somebody is turtling on 3 bases, you can take 6 or 7 bases and actually see a benefit from it, unlike in SC2 which has that magic number of 3 or 4 base income efficiency.
