Diggity over at SC2GG announced a month ago that a tournament would be held in honor of the 10th anniversary StarCraft. This tournament is called Endurance and has a very special goal: To raise money for the Child's Play charity.
About Child's Play
For those of you who are unaware of what Child's Play does, here's a quick rundown. The charity accepts donations in the form of books, toys, games and cash with the purpose of giving to hospitalized children that may not get to experience such things otherwise. Since they started out doing this gamers around the world have donated millions of dollars in the form of toys, games and cash to support this, making the lives of sick children a bit more fun for them.
So this is what the goal of the Endurance tournament is, as well as to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the game itself.
About Endurance
