I really like the new division system this time around. I thought I was good, but got utterly crushed last time! HuK commentated my match though, which was amazing (even though he made fun of me).

HuK was commentating last time? Didn't notice that

yeah he was... was funny when he commented the beginner's 2v2 finals match. I don't think I knew what the hell I was doing, but HuK still made it sound a little interesting :-)

hi, so, i'm a mediocre developer but if you notice at the bottom of my resume...masters league startcraft player. am i hired?

Only if you play 'random'

This needs to happen in NYC stat! Team Hashable representing.

Yes! I would absolutely participate.

+1 to that. Anyone want to take charge and organize a NYC version?

I’m on my 5th productivity motivated SC2 uninstall, but I’ll reinstall for an NYC Startupcraft.

startupcraftNYC.net sign up and lets get this going.

Mahalo developers will win--hands down.

it's on.

Are you coming up, Jason?

sounds like a challenge...

Disqus, yo.

Is there a formal definition for "startup" here? I noticed that Flickr was on the list of previous attendees, can I represent a larger corporation such as Microsoft?

If you're lucky they'll be using the TechCrunch definition - whether you've made, sold for or raised billions you're a startup if you still move ad inventory!

Wait, what happened to the old one? What did I miss?

You missed a very hectic & crazy starcraft bracket. I think about 30% of those that signed up didn't show, but was filled with a bunch of random people that were on the waiting list and present. So if you don't sign up in time, you can probably still show up and get a few games in! I did get to play against spez in the beginner bracket (and lost).

It's too bad there won't be a 4v4 bracket this time.

There aren't any videos from the first one, are there? I don't see them on the site. If not, would it be possible to make them this time?

team twilio in the houuuuuuuuuuuuuuse

Call me when it's Street Fighter.

We have an in-house street fighter league at Justin.tv actually, and play every day at lunch.

...Seriously?

I'm in town through Thursday evening, and would love a chance to play anyone who works there. Email me or hit me on Twitter?

oh cool, the people I work for are sponsoring this. Shame I'm in the wrong country (not to mention I suck at Starcraft 2). Are there lists of the previous results, I can't find them and I poked around for a bit!

I wish I was in the area :(

Oh how I wish I could participate.

Sadly I'm from NH.

NH: like HN, but for shutdowns? (kidding)

Game on. #Disqus
