Hi everyone! I'm going to start becoming a frequent poster on these boards! Guess I should introduce myself some:
sc2 profile: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/505603/1/Mav/
Played broodwar semi-casually for a few years. Getting serious about sc2. Currently a 1700ish diamond player.
I main terran, and use protoss as well, mainly in teams. I'm already a frequent poster on the sc2 bnet forums, but I'm looking forward to the much better moderated boards of TL. I'm not completely new to the team liquid site: I've come here before to find build orders, and I'm a day[9] daily viewer :D.
Some interesting non sc facts about me:
-I attend Penn State University, majoring in IST.
-I play super smash brothers brawl competitively(I attended MLG orlando and columbus). I've been ranked top 10 in my state(PA).
-Fan of airsoft, ultimate frisbee, and target shooting.
So yeah, I'm hoping to have an awesome time here,make friends, and to get better at sc2 ^_^

What is IST? When you say target shooting, what type do you do? Welcome.
|
You've made the right decision moving from the bnet forums to TL, you won't regret it 
Also, I'm a big ultimate player as well, you play on a team at Penn State?

I believe it's information sciences and technology.
Welcome to TL, your new home =]

I don't do too target shooting much atm, but my father is big on pistols(retired police officer). I've done some of everything, including competitive-style .22 rifle shooting with the psu rifle club, but the style they teach is kind of weird. I'm going to get a lot more into it in the coming year. I'm thinking of buying my own rifle, but I may not because my father pretty much has a mini-armory lol.
IST=Information Sciences and technology. Pretty much like IT/some comp sci.
edit=ninja'd by joker.
@gila. I was on my high schools ultimate team, and started with the psu ultimate club/team, but they have a huge time commitment, and a terrible timeslot(8pm-10pm almost every night). It pretty much had to be your life X_X

Yeah dude, I remember when I was in undergrad and we'd play at tournies, some teams would just brag about their insane practice schedule. We were far more chill, more about just having a good time and getting our asses kicked by other teams haha

I hear that. Thats how my HS team was.

Cool man, you seem like an interesting dude. Good luck on the SC2 quest, can be frustrating at times!
|
Who'd you main in brawl?
Did you get into melee?
The scene here is strong.
|
People still regard my Falco as my best character, but I currently use a Falco/Fox/Metaknight mix. And I play solely metaknight in 2v2s.
I played melee casually. I got into the competitive scene right when brawl was released, so I went with the new game(even though melee probably is the more solid fighter).

You watch Day9 and only now you post on TL. You're way way late man :D.
Just kidding, welcome to TL.net where true SC2 show its form.
|
Wait a second......
Did you just say BRAWL COMPETITIVE? oh man...
Why not melee? I got into competitive smash when brawl came out too, but switched to melee within like 6 months. Game is so much faster and more intense, it's great. Though the learning curve is pretty steep, it took me a really long time to even get the basic technical skills fairly down pat.

Melee's pretty dead in my region, although its strongest in NY/atlantic south areas. For every 2-3 national sized brawl tourneys there's only one big melee one(the next one being pound 5 in Feburary).
It was moreso me going with the new game than anything. It would be like me going with starcraft 2 competitively when it first came out compared to starcraft 1.
