This makes me really happy to see and it's great that eSports is being promoted there as well! Hoping their scene will continue to grow like EU/NA/KR and we'll see some insane JP apm and micro!

Hey, Japan did send a few BW players to the 2010 WCG, though they got crushed pretty badly. I think Jaedong remarked that one of them played like a computer.



Anyways, this should be an interesting glimpse into the mysterious Japanese scene. Hey, Japan did send a few BW players to the 2010 WCG, though they got crushed pretty badly.

JD is badass like that I think Jaedong stated that, beating the guy is simple as beating a computer.JD is badass like that

FishStix Profile Joined April 2010 United States 422 Posts #8 I feel like there's tons of potential for growth in Japanese eSports. Japan has historically not been good at RTS, FPS, or MOBA, but the fighting game scene has developed awesomely. Gives me hope, man. I do stuff in eSports

Best of luck to them though. I never knew there was a Japanese scene to begin with. What server do they even play on? o-o A fed jungler is no longer a jungler, but a terrorist.

Well, in the beginning, amazon.co.jp sold the NA version of SC2, so that's what they started out with, but to be honest, I don't know if that's the server they still play on. I tried to compile some information about the Japanese scene a year back or so and put it into a Liquipedia article ( Well, in the beginning, amazon.co.jp sold the NA version of SC2, so that's what they started out with, but to be honest, I don't know if that's the server they still play on.

Unfortunately, the article hasn't been kept updated, but at least it shows that the Japanese have been trying to get things going for a while.

Jaedong remarked that about Kazakhstan's player. The japanese invite (some D+/C- guy) to IEF won against machine in one of the most hilarious ZvZ matches ever.

Most of them still play on the NA server while some of them play on the Taiwan and Korean servers as well. You can find more information about them here, including where they hang out, etc.:
