| SC2VN (Visual Novel) | comment |
SC2VN is a Ren'Py-based visual novel about StarCraft II. You play as Mach, an aspiring pro-gamer living in Seoul, South Korea in the early days of Starcraft 2 (circa 2011). The game follows his (or her) journey as you try to impress pro players, join a team, and make the Esports dream come true.SC2VN is unique in that it uses in-game screenshots and sound effects from StarCraft II for the protagonist's games. Players can follow along as Mach plans build orders, executes timing attacks, and loses to cheese. Some liberties are taken for the sake of narrative, but it's pretty close to what one might find in an actual game on ladder. Blizzard has wholeheartedly endorsed the project, in part because it is completely free.A prequel, Don't Forget Our eSports Dream, focusing on Jett and Bolt's respective careers back in the Brood War days, was released on November 20, 2018.The original VN can be found here, and the Kickstarter campaign page for eSports Dream can be found here. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| SC2VN (Visual Novel) / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: None of the characters are directly based on real-life progamers, but certain characteristics definitely are. A beta champion who is blunt on stage, vocal in criticisms, despises coin flips, and has a reputation for having the worst fans? You won't be first to think Greg 'Idra' Fields. Amusingly, the character in question is a Fiery Redhead Tsundere | |

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay | |
| SC2VN (Visual Novel) / int_15264ac9 | comment |
Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay: One of the aims of the game is to show the less glamourous side of progaming. Topics explored in the game include sexism, xenophobia, squalid living conditions, bad management, unreliable sponsors, unsupportive family, online harassment and trolls, and constant self-doubt.* Vast Bureaucracy: KPGA acts as this for the Brood War scene. At the time the novel's set in, they haven't moved to Starcraft 2 yet. | |

| SC2VN (Visual Novel) / int_19d1c1ae | comment |
Always Someone Better: A player in Master league is in the top ~2% of players, but Mach still refers to them as 'casual' and easily beats them. Mach, in turn, is in Grandmaster league (top 200 ladder players in the region), but still gets stomped by actual pros. | |

The layout of the community site that shows the drama news is identical to that of Team Liquid and even has the same topics. Female Mach gets a message on a website that looks an awful lot like Twitch. | |
