This is a near stub length article that is probably better off being merged into some other article, possible candidates being esports or Professional StarCraft competition. Also this article may be in violation of WP:NOTNEO due to its excessive usage of the "barcraft" neologism.--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 02:10, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well the two are essentially the same thing (watching games in bars/arenas, what's the difference?) so I'm not sure if that's too much of an issue.--Prisencolin (talk) 04:48, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
