The 2011 European Battle.net Invitational is fast approaching and you’ll be able to follow all the action free of charge. To get you warmed up, we’ve begun uploading some VoDs of the best StarCraft II, Warcraft III and World of Warcraft matches from last year’s event. Visit our site to find out what eSports was like back in 2010—when Reapers were fast to build and the Lich King reigned from atop the Frozen Throne.

StarCraft II Show Match #1: Liquid`TLO vs. SK.MaDFroG
We have a very special treat to begin with: a show match between Dario ‘Liquid`TLO’ Wünsch and Fredrik ‘SK.MaDFroG’ Johansson! Don’t miss this epic TvZ from almost one year ago, when the StarCraft II metagame was still in its infant stages. Your hosts are no other than Benjamin ‘DeMusliM’ Baker and Blizzard’s own Rob ‘The Voice’ Simpson.

Sit back and discover how macro-games used to unfold on the ever-popular map Metalopolis. You surely don’t mind watching the power of the swarm being unleashed against heavy, entrenched terran defences, do you?

Be sure to check out the last part of the VoD as well to witness one of the first appearances of Xel’Naga Caverns in professional gaming. Oh, and stick around for an interview with both players after the match, conducted by none other than Kevin ‘RotterdaM’ van der Kooi.
