Hello All,

I have been following the scene for the past few weeks now and i have really taken a shine to the game, i have recently watched: MLG Orlando (Which was AWESOME go HuK!), Blizzcon, ESWC and a lot of peoples Streams.

I'm a complete novice to RTS games, i started playing online since 2004, i started with Americas Army then to playing Counter Strike Source, i have been playing in the competitive scene in both of them. I feel like a change and from watching SC2 i have fell in love with it.

I'm 22 years old from England, Lincoln. I'm currently studying Computer Science and would like to find some friends for several reasons, one cos i would like to play with some players with a little bit more experience, hopefully gain some tips along the way. Watch some games with have a good time, plus i watched a Day9 stream that said to come on here and ask for friends

I do currently only have a EU account, i'm not sure what the main use of contact is in the SC2 scene so hopefully if i have drawn a couple of peoples attention if you would like to be my 'friend' please give me some form of contact!

Mat

I just love how the SC community functions like this, whenever someone comes along and makes a thread that they're new and need help people just jump up to help them learn the game with absolutely no compensation (unless your name is Grack). If I had a EU account that didn't lag terribly bad, then I would help you. But, alas, it disconnects and lags a shitton, so I can't. Apologies, but nevertheless, glhf, hope you get to masters.
I hate when people compare SC2 and rochambeu. One race isn't fucking supposed to counter another one. | Protoss isn't OP. Their units on the other hand....

I don't know, but it doesn't really matter, people will like to read your blogs anyway if they are good.

Ok, How many people on TL that are active users have an EU SC2 Account? Not including 'pro' players.
