ASUS Cup: Spring 2006
Russia. Taking up a good chuck of that world map you have hanging out on the wall it is a huge, right in your face country, and you'll have to work really hard to miss. But it is a country of wonders. Fifteen years after the fall of Soviet Union the remnant of the "Iron Curtain" can still be seen -on the endless fields of battle.net. Russia has its own private Brood War community which until just recently was lurking at the shadows, like a cobra striking only when there was a lot of at stake. Up until a couple of years back, names like yAn, Advokate and Androide would bring out nothing confusion in the eyes of a stranger. Today the Russian scene seems much more familiar, but there is still a lot hiding behind the shreds of that curtain, where unarmed eye can not see.
