Girls of Starcraft (GoSc) was created on June 5th, 2011. It was created by two friends who had a vision to make a more friendly environment for ladies in the community. While time has changed many things, it has never changed the original vision of GoSc. One of the primary goals of GoSc (Girls of Starcraft) is to help encourage a friendly and competitive environment for the females coming into the Starcraft competitive scene. The group has grown so large that it now consists of 446 members. Among those members are fans, commentators, event organizers, players, mothers, sisters, models and over all just fun gamers! GoSc
