Rule change: Posts and discussions around Frost Giant Studios and their upcoming game Stormgate are also permitted (lemmy.world)

Frost Giant is a studio formed by veterans who previously worked on Blizzard titles like StarCraft II and WarCraft III.

Stormgate is poised to be a spritual successor to SC2 and has a lot of hype surrounding it. It would be disingenous to not allow the community to discuss this game, for that reason.

With /r/starcraft being one of the hundreds of subreddits going private indefinitely, I thought that I'd take the wheel and create a community for it on Lemmy.

This place is going to be run similarly to how things were on /r/Starcraft, with some slight rule changes. Please read and abide by the rules whilst on this community.

General Rules:

Follow the lemmy.world rules outlined in this link. Please note that these are instance-wide rules that do not just apply to this community.
Posts must be related to StarCraft. As long as it's related to Blizzard's hit franchise in some way (including but not limited to fan art, esports, gameplay, guides, events) it is generally welcome here.
No pornographic content. This isn't NSFWLemmy...
Hate speech (including homophobia, transphobia, racism, etc) is not tolerated.

Accusation Rule:

Any accusations made against an organisation commentator, streamer, pro player or other stakeholder within the greater SC community/pro scene should be backed up with evidence. Baseless accusations will be removed.
Do not encourage users to contact sponsors, teams or other stakeholders with negative feedback.

Temp Rule Changes:

23/06/2023 - posts involving Stormgate and Frost Giant Studios are permitted, at least until the game's release. Explanation here.

Maru played every game as Protoss for this group. All these players are qualified for the main event, these matches are just for seeding purposes. It was a GSL-style group.
