Read Sky's blog, now translated

ImageThe wait for a translation is now over. You can read up on every pro gamers blog in your own language with the help of Google Reader.



This post assumes that you are aware of what a blog is and what RSS feeds are. If you aren't, then to put it shortly, blog is short for weblog and is very similar to an online journal where people post their thoughts or areas of expertise.

RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication, which is a technology that lets you know when a website or blog has new content. You can access SK's RSS here to stay updated with the latest news from us.

There are a couple of pro gamers who blog and notably Sky and TeD are among those that frequently update their blogs.

To access their blogs and read it in English or the language you speak is simple.

1. You need a Google account, which you should have by now!
2. You need to log in to Google Reader with your gmail account.
3. You click on the URLs mentioned in the list below and choose "add to Google".
4. Once you add their feeds, you'll see it in Chinese. Click the feed settings drop down menu and choose the "translate into my language" option.

5. Once subscribed to the feeds, you can now read it in the language of your choice.

Alternatively, you could just use the Google translate tool but I think this is really nice for the Web 2.0 wired gamers. The links below directly take you to the feed page where you can choose the "add to Google" option through Firefox, which we advise you to use because that makes you really cool.

Pro Gamer's blog list

1. Tillerman - Tillerman mainly talks about Poker now, but is nevertheless very entertaining and he will make a return for Starcraft 2.

2. Sky's Main Blog and MSN spaces blog

3. SuhO's blog- Chinese veteran Night Elf player SuhO's blog address.

4. xiaOt's blog - Veteran Orc player from China's personal blog.

5. ToD's Blog at Gravitas - Does not have a subscription option .

6. HoT's blog at Gravitas - Does not have a subscription option either.

7. Phreak- American former Warcraft 3 player and self proclaimed top 5 in the world. Really. Phreak shares some great insights in his personal blog.

8. Grubby's blog - Unfortunately, it doesn't have the RSS feed activated and is in Dutch on top of that so for now you'll just have to make do with the translations (but the feed is coming soon from what we hear).

Are there any other blogs you read of pro gamers that aren't on this list? Then let us know and we'll update it. Please note that these work reasonably well when translated to English, you might have some problems with non English versions.
