Now that football season is over, there's only one game worth following: Starcraft 2! This weekend, Major League Gaming is presenting the first ever Winter Arena event in New York. Held from the 24-26th, Winter Arena finds the world's top StarCraft 2 players competing for $26,000 in prizes, as well as pool placement and travel to the Winter Championships in Columbus, Ohio, at the end of March.

The streams are all pay-per-view this time around, but if you want to check it out, visit here.

Casting the Arena will be commentators Nick Plott (Tasteless), Dan Stemkoski (Artosis), Marcus Graham (DJWheat) and Blizzard's Rob Simpson. Joining them will be MLG’s JP McDaniel and three remote casters who got their start as MLG Community Casters: Tumba, Robin and Adebisi.

We've got the full broadcast schedule and the list of players under the "Read More" tag.
