I have said many times that TL is awesome and it is the people here that make it so.
I have been gifted 2 keys from TL members. I am sharing one with 5 or so family and friends (can't sustain more than that). I have one for you if you are playing from Africa.
(I will get an admin to IP check)
This key will go tonight. Please let the brothers know!
Simple rules:
- You must be an African or living here.
- You must add me as a b.net friend when you get the key so that I know where to find you if I start an African clan/tourney (my user: ZeroOneOne.capetownza)
- Just post here and tell me how you will improve the african TL community 
|
wow, i wonder how many africans we have on tl. not many id wager, but i like this idea :D
|
Wasnt Zim who went to the WCG from africa?
|
I thought Zim was from Aserbaidschan
|
Thanks guys, I don't think there are many...I know of 3 (1 is my cousin who I have shared my account with). Hopefully this will bring some of us together and show some African representation!
|
saffas :D we got a lot of you here in perth these days
+ Show Spoiler +great blokes until its aus vs sa in cricket/rugby  (jj)
|

Yup, thats the 2nd person I know. Not sure if he is active on TL at the moment. When it comes to internet and SC2 beta keys - its damn poverty man!
|
On which servers are you playing from South Africa and how is the lag? I think the least laggy for you will be the EU one. I think connections to South Africa are routed either through London or Hong Kong.
|
I haven't tested latency yet, but EU will likely be better. I don't even know where to find which server I am connected too!?
SA gaming website reported some latency tests. Seems to be playable on a 512Mbs DSL line (which i dont have - 384 baby!)
|
Well for online gaming the bandwidth doesn't matter, the latency is important. I thought you would know which server you are using . When you login to your battle.net account look at the URL, if it says eu.battle.net is EU, us.battle.net is USA and tw/kr.battle.net is Asia.
|
I remember looking at some game on the Xbox 360 that had these dots on a globe that showed where people where people were connecting from. The U.S. was glowing, but Africa had a small dot near the middle of it haha.
Anyways, thanks for giving out your beta keys and, indirectly, spreading Esports!

Because someone with 1 post is really reputable.

Yeah there should be a post count requirement too so people dont use proxies and make fake african accounts
|
heyo, what a coincidence that we share a similar nick! I'm from SA, Cape Town even. I do not need a key but I know of several that do.
Why don't you drop into the local IRC network Shadowfire and join #starcraft2 - There's plenty folks in there that could use a spare key that may be floating around. If you've given the key out already why not drop in anyway and meet up with your fellow ZA gamers that you're not aware of!
