Starcraft II is an amazing game by Blizzard Entertainment. The only problem is that their are cheaters and this is a really big problem. One common hack is called the ValiantChaos MapHack and Blizzard is taking a stand against this in a big way. Blizzard is suing the makers of this common Starcraft hack on the base that it ruins the game for everyone. Several times competitions in Starcraft have been ruined by this map hack. This is also a big deal because it is a copyright infringement because they are using Blizzards work without their permission and this also violates the games terms of use which could mean imprisonment foe the violators. I would also like to say in my last post i called Starcraft a MMO and it is not. Sorry about that.  

So in digging around for news on E-Sports in general i really couldn't find much. So i went to a different search topic: Starcraft, Blizzard's massive MMO. The MMO is a game of international fame and it also allows people who play it professionally to apply for a athlete visa. This is in the case for Starcraft gamer Kim Dong-hwan. He is only 23 years old and he is now in America on an athlete visa. This South Korean came to the U.S. three times for the Starcraft tournaments but wants to base himself here so that he can advance himself in the gaming industry. The young man goes by the name of Violet is, also on of the millions of online gamers who are in or from, South Korea. The five year visa that kim is here on is one that allows him to be considered among the athletes that travel here for things like baseball or football. The funny thing is that he only applied for the visa after being denied a student visa 3 times. Good job America.
