Goal: To help easiler follow players in streams/ replays/ vods/ tournament appearences

I'm a huge fan of the competitive starcraft scene (Both the original BroodWar and the new SC2 scene). Although I dont play much now, I still watch most of the tournaments and cheer for some of my favorite players (MC, and MKP).

WIth the growth in the SC2 Scene, it is getting increasingly difficult to keep up with my favorite player's appearances in various tournaments. Another issue is when I'm trying to learn a certain player's style and having to dig through websites for that player's VODS or replays.

So my project for June is a web application that allows users to follow their favorite players. It will provide a 1 stop location to see their favorite player's tournament appearences, recent VODs, replays, and stream status.

This project will involve a lot of web scrapping which I will do in python and the website will be built on top of Google App engine. I'm aiming to have a MVP out by June 25th.

Features:

Ability to add and stalk your favorite players:

  • recent and upcoming tournments
  • stream status
  • replays
  • vods

Acccounts, history, player popularity polls.
