GosuGamers' Editor-in-Chief gives you the list of the seven hottest subjects in the StarCraft scene. Everything from StarCraft comics to fans shedding tears because Stork lost the MSL final.

WCG Korea
The World Cyber Games are later this year, in October, and there are qualifiers all around the world. The toughest StarCraft qualifier is starting in a couple of days: World Cyber Games Korea, the qualifier that is actually tougher than the Grand Final. The qualifier is hot as hell, while the Grand Final is a walk in the park for the progamers. The WCG Korea qualifier is THE place for hot replays and entertainment.2
WE.Pj
Pj, without a doubt the most famous Chinese StarCraft player for several years. He had a sejour in SKT1 a while, but failed to qualify for any of the proleagues in Korea. If one can't imagine how tough it is: not even JulyZerg managed to qualify for the StarLeague, so why should Pj? Korea or not, Pj is still a hot name in Asia. World Elite, current champions of the two most prestigious WarCraft 3 leagues, has picked up the Chinese player in their newly created StarCraft squad.

BlizzCon
Roughly two weeks left until BlizzCon kicks off. There will be five members of the GosuCrew present: Mazor, DJTyrant, NastyMarine, Xeris and BoboTastic, and they will bring you the best coverage there is. Apart from all the tasty StarCraft 2 tibits that will totally blow our minds, there's a top-notch StarCraft tournament where "battle-tested veterans compete against promising challengers".4
iCCup
The Russian PGTour wannabe server does not only have a working ladder for both for 1on1 and 2on2, but they also spit out event after event. The Clan League, which features three divisions, will begin soon, with a prize sum of $1000. And if that wasn't enough, there will be a 1on1 tournament tomorrow with a $100 prize pool. And what's best, in the players' eyes - they have attracted a big load of Korean mass gamers. Hot, hot, hot.

Bisu
En Taro Bisu! The hottest player in Korea right now, recent winner of the MBCGame StarLeague, taking out another Protoss (Stork) in the Grand Final. Bisu is the leader of the pack, the Tassadar of the Protoss army, and with him we might just see an age where the Protoss dominate yet again.6
StarCrafting.se
The former site Gamingeye has been the only real pillar supporting the Swedish community. Now, joining a organization called SVEROK, they will have more money and more opportunities to do what it takes to revive the Swedish scene, although they will need to do more than just a new layout and joining an organization. Swedish vikings, unite!

WGTour.com
Even if WGTour does not have a running ladder, they are pumping out event after event, such as the World Cup, Battle of the Bees, their Clan Leagues, and last but not least their Nordic Championships. But if they are to climb this list they will need to start their ladder soon.
