It is based off very old quote from a teamliquid user meant as a joke. It sort of became an inside joke for the TL community.

Here's the post (from 2003)

Please send a new wave of invites out, at any given time there are only 20-35 users on with two thirds of all users afk at least.

If you're in the beta of Shieldbattery and are having troubles finding players...

  • Join the unofficial Shieldbattery discord: https://discord.gg/DfkZqgv
  • Race wars and team games are generally held at 9pm EST. And several other times a day randomly.
  • Log on at peak times. 6pm EST to 12am EST is the best time to find games.


Like it is a beta. You're not going to have an easy time finding people to play at 5am EST on Shieldbattery. And from my laddering experiences, you have troubles finding people to play at that time on ICCup too. It can get as low as 20-30 users in the Ladder D/C channel at that time, while peaking at 60-70 otherwise. And that is open to everyone. By playing Brood War in any place but Fish, you have to sort of submit to the fact that it will a less-than-easy process in finding consistent games. Not to mention that Shieldbattery isn't in closed beta so you can find games.

There is no specific criteria for who gets into the closed beta. The closed beta exists for testing out features and server infrastructure. The selection for new players is randomly chosen from applicants of these forums. Simple as that.

Of course tec27 has gone over this many times already, and if he wants to take his time with accepting applicants then so be it.

a cursory glance tells me there are somewhere in the ballpark of 900 invites sent out so far.

I probably play on Shieldbattery more than anyone so I feel qualified to answer this question.

There are a lot more than 10 people who are active.

Short story, you're basically fucked until open beta :p

Harem, I'm not sure if you're adverse with a British sense of humour, but DNH was being sarcastic.

I wonder if this post is sarcasm too. How do you manage to get so upset about not getting an invite?

Imo this is primarily the reason they don't invite more people. So the people who shit up this thread with complaints don't get inside and shit up shieldbattery. If I recall correctly they've only had to ban one person so far who was griefing games. And the amount of unpleasant experiences I've had with other people I can count on one hand. I'm sure the last thing the devs want is to spend time moderating on their server rather than actually working on Shieldbattery itself.

I am not very active on team liquid forum nor have I joined a long time ago and yet I recieved an invite a few months ago. I think I was among the first to subscribe for an invite (since I subscribed about 1 hour after shieldbattery was announced if I recall correctly).
