Missed Starcraft Connection - U of Cincinnati

So today I was walking to go get lunch at the hospital cafeteria at the University of Cincinnati (where I'm working right now), when I'm passed by two younger (teenage?) Asian guys deep in conversation:

"...it does so much damage though!"

"yeah, but ..."

"twelve [something (valkyries?) - didn't catch] can kill 36 mutalisks"

(at this point I officially switch from accidentally overhearing to full-blown eavesdropping)

"Did you know you can group a bunch of mutalisks on top of each other so they all move and attack like one thing?"

"Yeah, you just do it like 1 - 2 - 3 in a triangle, and then the other way to get them together..."

And then they went out of earshot. I was so tempted to just interrupt them and be like "well, actually it's easier if you just group your mutas with an overlord on the other side of the map first" but then I thought that would be incredibly random and/or awkward.

But life's too short, right? So, two Asian guys at UC, if you're out there and want to talk to a random dude about starcraft, we should hang out and get lunch sometime.



Anyone else have any weird starcraft-themed missed connections like this?

You should've done that, then just walked away while they were still confused.

I remember I read on TL that they saw someone wearing a TL shirt and wanted to walk by them and cough "teamliquid"

Anyway I agree with SonufBob.

haha this one guy I talked to was like "I played StarCraft when it first came out, but Terran was way too powerful because they would always just get their SCVs and surround one marine and win." and I "lol" on the inside, and condescendingly go "yeah... i hate it when they do that"

I've talked with some people at school about SC before, but never anyone in to the pro-scene

They don't sound very good at Starcraft. Probably not worth meeting.

I watch starcraft in the library at uni all the time because my internet at home sucks balls and there's always asian guys stopping and giving me weird looks because I'm probably the first white boy they've ever seen watching sc. I've seen other people watching SC in the library too, my uni has a LOT of korean exchange students.
