Starting in 2014, SCVODArchives began as a community project whose sole purpose is to preserve StarCraft II esports history focused mainly on Korean esports tournaments. This is done by creating archives of tournaments from the beginning of SC2 to current. With the help from community members we've been able to archive nearly all major Korean tournaments including GSL, GSTL, Proleague, Starleague, and more. Multiple backups of all VODs as well as torrents help keep these VODs available to everyone that wants them. As of 08/2022 there are over 15,299 SC2 VODs archived.

Not only is the project to preserve VODs but also to host a stream on Twitch showcasing some of the VODs that have been archived. The stream is not for profit and any funds generated by the stream are put back into project to cover costs of the dedicated streaming server, off-site backups, power consumption, and continued development/archiving.
