No, it's a bunch of college courses; this one is an economics course that focuses on Starcraft.

Yes it is. Me and my bro decided to go up against the comp, My bro can't play worth a hoot. I was defending two bases with the resources of one. I also remember why I hate playing Zerg. >.> I missed my moving buildings (Terran player)

On topic, Has anyone else watched the vids? The first one was quite interesting.

It's like the equivalent of Football here. EVERYONE watches it.
