Hey TeamLiquidors,

i just decided to resume the blog i did here on a seperate Website. The Link is the following: www.SC2MindGames.com

Launching Post was + Show Spoiler +
Dear Starcrafters,

so a couple of days ago I had an idea, then decided to creat the site yesterday and here we are one day later: The nuke has been launched and a scan revealed that we are online. Don’t worry, I won’t write like this the whole time but because it’s a special occasion I just wanted to make sure to give you a short starcraft’ish summary about the story behind this site.

What you can expect

Overall the idea was to create a place where I can write about certain stuff (mostly gamedesign, strategies) regarding Starcraft 2 – BUT! this doesn’t exclude writing about other more “fluffy” considered stuff regarding the game totally. It just means that my main focus will be on these kind of things. On the other hand I want to give guys who are interested in the game a place where they can read thought out structured texts about the game from time to time. Everyone is welcome to give constructive feedback in the comments – even the haters (in all honesty).

Besides from that I will provide and explain builds for certain matchups from time to time. Why? Because I like to help out other players and it’s in my nature to help out the weak ones and make them rise above their limits. Please consider here that I am not the worlds best player with every race in the game so if I explain a terran build for example I might miss a couple notable things or stuff that just hardcounters them. But I will still try my best to explain as much as I can.

Thoughts/Fears

I love the Starcraft community but at the same time I know that it can be a rough and unforgiving environment sometimes, because of this I really hope people will always keep in mind how much time I sacrifice into this and other projects as well – not because i make money out of it – but because I like to give something back. I hope you guys enjoy what I try here with this website and spread the word for me. It’s always more fun to do something if people recognize what you do, right?

So let’s rock this place and I’ll try to breathe as much life into this page as I can while hoping you guys enjoy it as much as I already do.

-Chris

Today i wrote a blog there about the Importance of Map Design in SC2 which you can check out here: > Click here <

Feedback is always welcome, hope you guys have a good read!

-Chris




EDIT:

A thing i'd like to add: The reasoning behind me moving on a seperate site was because i kinda had the feeling that everything i could do here had the dimension of basically a forum post. The lack of formatting-options in posts also supported this impression unfortunately.

Also i think the layout the site has now is more reader friendly and reader friendlyness should be the main focus for a blog i think.

I really don't understand the point of your website. It kind of sounds like a less thought-out copy of Artosis' eSportsU, but written by a low league player instead of Artosis and his writers, and with less content. Who is your target audience, and what exactly are you trying to accomplish with your idea? How often will you update? What benefit to the community would it provide?

I'm certainly not trying to discourage you from doing it; just encouraging you to explain the concept more in-depth so people can get excited about it and use it.
Skill is relative.

My intentions are written down in the "about" section of the site. I will update the blog at least once if not twice a week (that's my plan so far). Additional to that i will update the build order part once a week too so they site will get updated at least 2-3 times a week.

The benefit to the community is additional starcraft 2 related content which isn't all about fluff. Read through the first blog about map design and I think you'll notice the difference to most other sites instantly.

It isn't a copy of eSportsU - which i hear the first time of - but i just checked it out and no.. it's not the same. This is mainly a blog with a couple of builds from time to time. A low league player you said. No hate to Artosis, i like him a lot, but haven't seen him pass masters on EU either so we both aren't GM and both are Masters. Don't see a difference here so i don't know why you say I am a low league player.

Overall I think you haven't even clicked on "ABout" because all i said is basically written down there too - just not the how frequent i will post part.

Nice clean site.

esReveR. The point of website? Maybe he just wants to write about Starcraft. In times like these all new websites and/or contributions to growing the community is great! Good initiative MiND.GaMeS!

I had a StarCraft blog before with ~ 400-500 visitors per day. In my opinion the startpage should start at the Blog and not at Home, because the blog is what you will be updating the most. Unless you plan on (where you have the quote) display the latest update on the website! So that it's really easy to see the latest news when coming to the website.

I would also suggest the blog to have 2 pixels larger text. On my screen 1980x1280 I have to lean forward a lot to have good readability. The reason the same text-size works better on teamliquid is because there is less contrast on the page itself. (black/white) while TL.net has it's text on a blue color.

I really like how you spend time to make nice pictures and well structured posts!

Good luck!


Thanks man!

You swedish guys are always so friendly, I like it a lot :-)) even though i wasn't sure why I have to defend my intention of creating SC2 related content either. Also props for the constructive feedback about the site itself. I will think about your suggestions, especially the start-page thing.

Oh and thx for wishing me GL as well, people like you are what drives my passion to fill it with content! Appeciate it a lot.
