At this point, I know that it is not just me. Bnet is very low pop and it is becoming increasingly more difficult to find match-made games.

Additionally, the available custom games are generally not 1v1 obs games.

And so, I propose this thread--a thread where anyone can pop in and say sup and that leads to a game or perhaps 3 or 10.

There is not, to my knowledge, a channel where those from teamliquid default to. Perhaps there should be one. I propose channel TL PLAY. I will be idling there at all free times and I encourage you to join me.

Let's play some fucking starcraft

In the 11 minutes since I have posted the OP, I have been queuing. I have gotten 3 failed matches. Not a single game. This is ridiculous. I hope it is just an MM bug

Keep in mind, it's X-mas Eve in the states. Many families start festivities tonight. This may be why you are having a tough time finding an opponent.

just go and play on korea, absolutely it's impossible to find 1v1s on USE or USW. i too get the failed match bug so much so that ladder is unusable, and even if i get into a 1v1 lobby in custom games i instantly get kicked for my high win loss.

I assume that like me, most bw players are non-secular scrouges that disregard the day of the week, the holiday it may be, and the holiday that may come. Christmas will not kill my passion xD

until the new ladder season comes out and they merge the servers the game will feel pretty dead, it'll pick back up after the merge/new season/team matchmaking gets released

TL PLAY on what server? I'll hang out there.

And matchmaking is global so shouldn't matter what server you're on tbh...

Same here, but I made the switch to west longer ago. We should all just go there while waiting for the merge.

Grant said they were investigating the possibility in the latest dev update.

My lobbies fill instantly.
That's evenings for ya.

Making games is hard.

I'd like to think most non-korean BW players are likely to be in their 30's who would prioritize family. Try again on the 26th
