Wayne, is that you? He played a lot of Fastest, not pure 1v1 SC =p. Sadly, I'm like 50-50 with him these days. He's certainly gotten better these days.

I can guarantee there are a bunch of closet BW nerds at all the UC's ... it's just a matter of finding them. The skill level isn't all too important - it's all mostly for fun anyways... O_O~

Repping riverside here, it would be really cool if we have a scene I don't know about, but I don't know what the chances of that are. I've got a group of friends that are enthusiastic, if not particularly talented (including myself >_> ) and i'm sure we'd be down for this.

Maybe a UCSB, UCR, UCM, UCD, etc. should be apart of a team, because we're not likely going to have as many players as Berkaderk and LA

I've got an email list of about 20-30 players at UCSD so we can at least form our own team. I'll be sending out an email to everyone later this week about Starcraft related stuff and I'll be sure to include you in it and mention this.

Ideally 9-10 people , realistically 5-6 ? does that sound reasonable?

I mean if we do it proleague style, it will be 4-5 people max per clanwar or something, the entire team roster would be the discretion of the school.

There are two specific goals:

1) To organize SC communities in each UC campus.

2) To organize actual teams that will compete against one another in a league of UC's.

So, the actual teams will have 4-5 per clanwar, the roster can be however many, but HOPEFULLY, the actual communities formed in each school will be much larger, and grow.

If this is successful, then I'll consider branching out slowly but surely, but I felt as if starting with UC's will provide a somewhat more centralized population that I already know consist of quite a bit of Starcraft players...

Hi All,

My name is Nimue and I've been pretty active around the UC Berkeley Starcraft scene. I would be pretty interested in this UC Proleague thing. We already have an almost-functioning website:

www.berkeleystarcraft.com

Actually, the website is for my class. UC Berkeley has a class this semester on the Game Theory, with applications to Starcraft that I'm teaching. If anyone wants to get into the theory to understand at a higher level, you should all check it out.

I will be posting vids on youtube too ... I think ... if I can figure out how to do that.

I'm sure we could make the rule so that you can reuse 1v1 players for 2v2. Personally I'd rather have it. It'll make the matches much more fun and diverse, I think.

I have nothing against having 2v2 in the future, but let's just get the basics down first before going into more complicated stuff (like 2v2)

I'd like to do as much organizing and admin stuff or whatever outside of b.net or iccup as is possible. I don't spend too much time in there. If we could organize through AIM or email, that would be better, I think.

My computer is usually left on with AIM open (I can get MSN too if most use that), but having to rely on having everyone online in iccup is a bit troublesome, don't you think?

EDIT
Also, none of the people I've got on my team so far have ever used iccup either... -____-;;

Yeah I agree. Once we get on Battle.net or iCCup we're liable to get distracted. E-mail and AIM are more productive.

By the way Xeris, you haven't asked for my contact info. Are you freezing out UCLA? Just kidding.

Wow, I'm posting pretty deep into this thread. Just wanted to say I'm planning to transfer to UCI Spring 2010. I'm in the Army right now but am gonna go back to school as soon as I get out. I might be the only white guy there, but I'm down! In all seriousness, I do think UCI has one of the highest asian populations of all the UCs, so you'd think there'd be a lot of SC followers I can't wait to link up! I lurk a little bit on TL but am pretty active on SC2GG.

I think CSL is going to be all colleges (basically whoever can get a team together) while the UC thing is going to be all the UCs. Whether or not the UC system is 12 schools or 1 school is up to debate in all sorts of fields so it's probably going to be controversial as well here. But based on the fact that the UCs are pretty united geographically (important from a time zone perspective) as well as culturally it's probably smart of isolate the UCs because they can run a league all to them selves.

I'm surprised that Sunday nights was chosen. I would have thought that everyone has hw to do.

Idea:

WE NEED DIVISIONS to make it more competetive

For example:
we have 8 colleges
4 southern division, and 4 northern division
we play each teams in respective divisions twice per school (6 weeks)
and play each teams of the other division once per school (3 weeks)
top 2 from each division do a semifinal game (A1 vs B2, A2 vs B1)
and final/3rd/4th place games after that week

how about it?

On February 18 2009 10:16 Crahptacular wrote:
I don't think this UC thing and the CSL need or should be exclusive of each other. I thought Cal was doing both anyway. Proximity time-zone wise just makes this more convenient; if there's enough people at the UC's to organize matches on their own, it doesn't hurt to do it. Though if the CSL grows and establishes a good infrastructure, I suggest any school who wants to have a competitive team join that, as having one large organization nation-wide is something the UCs obviously can't do on their own.

round robin? so that means no 2v2? :<

im probably a minority in saying i like 2v2's and thus prefer the old proleague format. oh well. also are we supposed to give feedback to the questions in this thread, or wait for the site to go up?

I see what you're saying, but I think the way Xeris wants to do it (and correct me if I'm wrong, Xeris) is something a lot close-knit with steady competition. Our relatively close proximity (and large number of players, compared to other universities, at least) makes us ideal to do that. From what I've seen of the CSL, matches don't come by very often, and I haven't seen any sort of official standing. Plus, Xeris, with his experience with BWUSA, is in a unique position to make this a real success, as long as people are willing and able to commit to this.

Sorry if I spoke for you Xeris. Hopefully I'm on the right track.

BTW for the record I never intended to say that CSL should take precedence over UCPL or that the UCPL would phase out or anything like that; just that the players (or entire teams) participating in one should be free to participate in both simultaneously if they want to. I just wanted to point out that there were advantages to both leagues, and that they shouldn't be competing with each other over players.
