What exactly is this? I would join if i knew wtf it was.

Ok I'd like to get to know you guys, and I think you guys should get to know eachother too. Can you guys post here an introduction of yourself, including but not necessarily solely: your sc background, what in sc you're good at or bad at, your strengths and weaknesses as a player, best maps/matchups etc, and anything else you'd like to share. I hope you guys don't see the blog as being too "public", but I can't think of anything better just as convenient.
|
The signups have already ended, most people who signed up didn't get in. There are 12 teams of 6 players and 2 coaches each.
|
Oh, post your ages and what you do for work/school please.
|
Is there a reason why they didn't organize it by race? Can you really teach all 3 races?
|
My best matchups have gotten B- on iccup, and can beat people currently ranked B, my worst matchup is at worst C-, which is above the highest rank of the players in here. I think I can manage.
Everyone got 2 zergs, 2 terrans, and 2 protosses. There was a surplus of people who signed up, so they just made sure everyteam had same racial and rank mix.
|
Hi, I'm OrderlyChaos and I'm the assistant coach for Team 7. I'm nowhere near as skilled as Nightmarjoo is, but I can still help analyze replays and give you general advice. My main race is Zerg, and I don't really off-race well, but I can play them to give you a feeling for D level play at each mu :p My main role here is to help Nightmarjoo with managing everyone and also giving advice/playing you guys when needed. Let's have a great and successful season!
And yes, Nightmarjoo is definitely at least C- in every mu, so he should be at least somewhat qualified to teach them.
|
Nightmarjoo, teach me to be gosu.

Hey I'm andy from Ohio. 19 years, first year university, no job. My race is zerg and do not off race. I started playing sc beginning of august this year, so ~1.5 seasons of iccup. I hop between D/D+. I am ~130 apm. I seem to be really thrown off whenever I get pressured early/early mid game with bunker bust/early zealot push/2port wraith builds. Later game I do much better, I think. My worst mu is zvz by far though. My muta micro is meh. I'm ~40% zvp/zvt.
I begin winter holiday today (weds 9th of dec). So I'll have plenty of time to practice, etc. Are we going to get a vent server or something as well? That would probably make communication much easier.
Does teamliquid have a vent?

Hey guys. I wasn't able to make it on any of the teams, but it was wishful thinking on my part being that I was on the borderline for pupil/coach in terms of rank. Anyway, Nightmarjoo generously offered to take on any who did not make it into a team under his wing (as long as we don't hinder his coaching), thus, I thought this was a great opportunity to learn from a B level player. Really, those that made it onto a team should know how extremely lucky they are to be taught by a high level player. I imagine you guys will improve tremendously, as opposed to if you were just blindly mass gaming on iccup.
I'm a T/Z user (TvP, TvZ, ZvT) who's C high, but considers himself solid C-. Obviously my concerns and questions will come second after the established team members, but I look forward to participating in the practice sessions and such. BTW, I won't be completely useless; I can help out D-/D level players with basics. GL and HF everybody (and don't forget to PM me about practices)!
|
You guys are going down!
And on a unrelated note, are you still in G4i?
|
Yo whats up. I'm ToN I've started seriously playing for about a month now since I have gotten a decent internet source. I live on a farm in Ontario and you can pm me if you want any contact details though there on the cpl signup thread. I'm in grade 12. My pvt is my strongest matchup and am around d+ in it. I have started learning some pvz but need a lot of practise to get the basics of the matchup started and pvp I am still pretty bad at atm. My apm averages around 100 and spikes from around 80 - 130 or so. Can't think of much else to say but lets do this and we need to use voice chat. I have skype, ventrilo, and also can boot up my xfire if needed and whatever else you may want to use. GLHF~
edit: Snowday today! So add me at ryaneyre@xplornet.com on msn or over_9000 on skype so we can start!
edit: I'm 16, will be 17 on dec 15
[CPL]ToN on iccup
|
What's up guys. My name is John, I'm a senior at Boston University studying biology and I enjoy long walks on the beach and playing zerg in Broodwar.
I've been following the competitive sc scene for about a year but only really started playing a lot on Iccup this past season. I've made it to around 2600 points with a losing record and play all three matchups as zerg.
I definitely feel most confident in my ZvT, although since I'm still a noob all my matchups are pretty shitty. I play around 200-240 apm (probably some decent spamming in there) and I'd say I'm definitely more of a defense + macro zerg than one who is constantly trying to attack.
As for maps I've played a ton on desti and heartbreak ridge, a little bit on fighting spirit, one or two games on outsider and i don't know match point at all.
I've got exams coming up in the next week and a half but after that I'm home for winter break and will definitely be playing a ton of Iccup.
Looking forward to dominating CPL with you guys, oh and my Iccup nick is ..BravE.
edit: just read the cpl news and announcements thread and created a new iccup account: [CPL]frogHERO
|
YOU'RE GOING DOWN NMJ! 
|
some of the guys added my banner to their blogs so I decided to give you this in case you want to add it to your thread:
|
I haven't logged on my g4i id in a long time zergling ._>
I don't really like stealth and a lot of the trash gamers he recruits.
I've to yet to hear from nub4ever or 3lions, but otherwise everything sounds great. For those of you not busy, let's start playing and repping asap!
btw guys I'm using TSLNightmarjoo for CPL stuff, so f add that.
|
Also since frog gave his real name my name is ryan. ^^
|
Hi,
I am teamless but NMJ has OKed me as at least a practice partner. I am a D Zerg. I mostly LAN with friends and would like to start playing more competitively online. All of my MUs are bad. My vP is probably my best. My vT has gotten more comfortable lately, but is weaker. My vZ is so bad.
I live in Denver, Colorado. I'm age 22 having finished school at Cornell College 6 months ago with a BA in politics.
I look forward to practicing with Team 7.

^^ sorry for ignoring your whisper thopol. I logged in alt tabbed to eat, i saw it after you already logged

Can our team name be '7 deadly sins'?
Or 7 samurai?
EDIT: I can tell already this league is going to kick ass.

so are we having an organized practice this weekend or something?
|
We better!
Ok, the first match (evaluation match) is on January 2nd now, a week later than it was originally scheduled. 3Lions has requested HBR (this is the ace map, this game won't be played unless we go 2-2 in the first games), and I told andeh I'd train him to be our outsider sniper. Other map requests? What's ok or not ok?
Map order is:
Set 1: Fighting Spirit
Set 2: Destination
Set 3: Match Point
Set 4: Outsider
Set 5: Heartbreak Ridge
|
I'd prefer destination or fighting spirit but as long as it isn't outsider, I'm down.
|
I really like this team and its name! Such a friendly and kind environment you guys have! I hope and wish you all good luck in the CPL in the future! ^_^
|
Coach-Pupil League. People who aren't in CPL are welcome to join in the fun.
Could I join in on the fun? :D
Also, this team has the best team name by far
Team rocket blast off at the speed of light, surrender now or prepare to fight!
haha.
|
Sure. We mostly hang out in op cpl on iccup (when it's up).
|
Ok eval match coming up, two weeks from now. 3Lions has requested to play the ace match on hbr if it comes to that, as well as matchpoint if no one else wants it. ToN was going to play fighting spirit. Maybe timon (araqirg) on desti? Gonna train andeh for outsider sometime. This sound ok to you guys? Two of you will sit this out at this rate, frog and plank, that ok? I'll make sure you two play in the next game for sure if this works out like this.
|
Sounds fine too me. If frog or plank need to play this week I'm willing to sit it out. We got this. Team Rocket hwaiting!~
|
what time are you guys usually on? I never seem to be on at the right time.
|
Set 1: Fighting Spirit: ToN
Set 2: Destination: Araqirg
Set 3: Match Point: 3Lions
Set 4: Outsider: Andeh
Set 5: Heartbreak Ridge: tentatively 3Lions
This ok guys? Please find me more often to practice, I barely see most of you guys =/
|
happy birthday orderly! NMJ you have been like a ghost the last like day or 2 =P

I'd like to request Match Point again for the match next week.
|
Set 1: Destination
Set 2: Match Point
Set 3: Outsider
Set 4: Heartbreak Ridge
Set 5: Fighting Spirit
3lions wants Match Point, gonna throw Andeh on outsider again (assuming he can make it). Can frog/plank go on hbr/desti since you guys didn't play in the eval match? And ToN or Araqirg can handle ace?
|
|
|
|
|
Set 1: Destination Araqirg
Set 2: Match Point 3Lions
Set 3: Outsider Andeh
Set 4: Heartbreak Ridge ToN
Frog and plank didn't respond to my PMs, so I just put araqirg on the map he played last time, and ton on hbr (who said he had practiced that map a fair amount already).
|
|
|
I've moved my sleeping schedule by 2 hours, up at 4, bed at 8 pm. Fridays in particular are good for me.
|
3 Lions
United States3705 Posts
ToN how strong are your PvZ and PvT?
|
Araqirg can't make the match after the upcoming one, so frog or plank will definitely need to play (in a week and a half from now).
|
I doubt I can make the next either as there is the Ottawa lan that day unless i can reschedule it or something. Not sure.
|
Well guys, we lost 0-4, but I'm not too worried. Just means we need to really pick up the pace as far as practicing goes. Please message me more often for setting up practice time. Aim, msn, tl pms all work. If you're just relying on catching me on iccup, you'll never see me except maybe by accident.
Next week araqirg and probably ToN can't make the match, so plank and frog will have to play.
|
Match Point
Outsider
Heartbreak Ridge
Fighting Spirit
Desti ace
I think I'll put Andeh on outsider, 3lions on Matchpoint, and we'll figure out which map between fighting and hbr plank and frog want. Hopefully they'll respond this time...
|
Turns out the lan isn't until 7pm not am though I am extremely busy until next wednesday so yeah just thought I'd let you all know. If your short a player I can play though frog and plank should definitely play if at all possible.
|
TheAntz< Match Point >3 Lions
Mauzel< Outsider >andeh
Rinoh< Heartbreak Ridge >myfriendplank
Tree.Hugger< Fighting Spirit >ToN
Andeh I think we'll need to practice a lot for your match, what time Friday will you be available to practice? That's a good day for me.

my game with Antz has been postponed to 4 PM EST tomorrow because he couldn't make it today

1st < Outsider >
2nd < Heartbreak Ridge >
3rd < Fighting Spirit >
4th < Destination >
ACE < Match Point >
Ok we lost the last match, their ace finally showed up and we lost.
I'll put andeh on outsider again, 3lions wants hbr. Araqirg wants fighting spirit. That leaves frog, ton, or plank on desti. I'd like to get plank/frog to play since they haven't played any matches yet, but we'll see.
|
|
|
Sorry, up really late cuz of msl finals, plan to sleep through cpl match. You guys can blame me if we lose this week, my fault for not practicing enough with you. Good luck though guys, just be calm and play through your strengths. I want 3lions on ace. If 3lions can't make it or doesn't want to, ToN then. If not ToN, then Andeh. If not Andeh, araqirg. If not araqirg, we lost, so whatever.
|
3 Lions

yay we won
I'd like to request Fighting Spirit for next week if nobody minds, or HBR if someone else wants FS
|
Don't be stealing my Fighting Spirit! You're protoss, you take HBR 
|
Set 1: < Heartbreak Ridge >
Set 2: < Fighting Spirit >
Set 3: < Destination >
Set 4: < Match Point >
ACE: < Outsider >
3lions on hbr, araqirg on fighting
plank wants to play, will see what map he wants
andeh what should we do with you this week? ~~

wheres FrogHero? TT
last time I checked he was D+, we could really use him
|
Frog hasn't talked to me in like a month now, I've given up on trying to get him in.
|
Plank wants desti, who wants matchpoint? I'm thinking, either ton or andeh on matchpoint, and the other on outsider as ace. Maybe have andeh on outsider/ace because he's most familiar with the map? Up to andeh if he wants to definitely play or maybe play.
|
|
|
|
|
Sweet! TvT. Lets see if I've actually learned anything.
|
Ok so we lost 0-4 this match. Good job guys, our secret plan to appear noob and then rape everyone and win the finals is going perfectly. I think we'll start raping faces in half starting next match.
But, you guys aren't doing a good enough job of "delaying streams". I heard you guys only delayed the streams by like 20 minutes by not saying gg, we need to do better. Next time let's try to delay the streams by an hour, ok?
|
Set 1: Fighting Spirit
Set 2: Destination
Set 3: Match Point
Set 4: Outsider
Set 5: Heartbreak Ridge
Want to just keep the maps you guys have been playing?
Thus, araqirg on fighting, plank on desti, ton on matchpoint, andeh on outsider, ton on hbr? Anyone prefer a different map this week, or can't play for some reason?
|
Well, that's what I did, sure hope you guys can make the match, wish you had responded =/
Set 1: Fighting Spirit araqirg
Set 2: Destination myfriendplank
Set 3: Match Point ton
Set 4: Outsider andeh
|
Alright guys, nice job, we won 3-1.
3 Lions thinks he can't make the upcoming match, so I hope you guys can all play. Anyone want a specific map? Or is everyone fine on the map they've been "assigned" ?
|
Set 1: Destination
Set 2: Match Point
Set 3: Outsider
Set 4: Heartbreak Ridge
Set 5: Fighting Spirit
Araqirg, since fighting is ace and I need you to play on one of the first 4 (3 lions can't make it), would you prefer match point or hbr? I'll have ToN play the other. That leaves andeh on outsider and plank on desti. This ok with everyone?
|
2ndNaDa< Destination >myfriendplank
Rotation< Match Point >AraqirG
LCC< Outsider >andeh
AeroH< Heartbreak Ridge >ToN
ACE < Fighting Spirit > ACE

k guys we lost 0-3 (ToN hasn't played yet, so maybe 1-3). No big deal though, we'll just win next week instead.
At anyrate, Andeh finally decided he has some spine and demanded he not be on outsider for the 3439045th time! This is quite fair, but I need a volunteer to play outsider! I'd play it myself, but I don't think they'd let me.
Also, Plank is unavailable to play next week's match. 3 Lions, hope you can play this time. And everyone else too.

i'd be more than willing to go on Outsider next week
|
Set 1: < Match Point >
Set 2: < Outsider >
Set 3: < Heartbreak Ridge >
Set 4: < Fighting Spirit >
I think, tentatively ToN on matchpoint, araqirg on fighting spirit, andeh on hbr, and 3 lions on outsider? Anyone want a different map? Anyone can't make the match?

You may be curious why I posted pokecraft's match too. Look at the guys playing vs pokecraft, and try to help them out if you can. The reason behind this is: we CAN MAKE PLAYOFFS if we WIN 3-0, and if pokecraft LOSES 0-3. Thus, you guys need to practice extra hard, and try to help t1 magicns so this desired result becomes reality.
|
rofl i liked outsider, since i sucked so much on it before
but now i find it impossible to hold a third on more standard maps
|
lol well, that's how it goes.
Guys we really need to take this match seriously. Please pm me good times where you can practice. At the very least I want all of you to play a few games with me and have a clear-cut plan/build for the game. Make sure you get that plan/build ok'd with me before you start practicing it! Should probably do this before you pick a time to practice with me. Theory craft with me, we'll come up with some ideas, you'll practice a few ideas until you have one thing you're confident in yourself of, and then practice it a lot! Then show me your replays, I'll give tips, then practice with me a bit, then go back to mass practicing until the match.
Do not under any circumstances play vs anyone from pokecraft until this match is over!

Can someone practice PvT with me today? I'll be here until around 4 pm EST.
|
Wow guys I'm sorry I completely forgot about the cpl match, was doing nothing but play beta last couple days =/
How'd the games go?
|
I am wondering the same thing as I was watching TSL and my opponent can't play until later.
|
This just in from spritelove one of the coaches from pokecraft. There games played so far are 2-0. Yet to be determined is who the wins are for...
|
Turns out pokecraft did win... sorry guys. =(
|
I didnt even play my match, lol.
gg though guys, if you ever want someone to practice with, just pm me on here or find me on iccup on hp.andeh or just andeh.
gl hf looksexy
|
Sorry I wasn't a good coach guys 
Just seems like schedules, interests, and motivations didn't mesh at all.
I hope (though I doubt) you guys feel like you gained something out of this, cw experience if nothing else =/
Feel free to msg me anytime for advice. I can watch reps and practice a bit too here and there I guess, but I'm gonna be mostly busy with sc2 beta.
