In the competitive fighter scene its not uncommon for players to get together for what's called a "study group", where you play 1v1s with a bunch of people and then after each match discuss mistakes, what could've been done better, ask questions, get outside opinions from the observers as to what could be done to improve your game.

So I'm thinking why not try to make an SG session for the starcraft community?

What is the objective of the SC Study Group?

I want to get a bunch of players of all experience and knowledge in on this, not just for competitive diamond players, but mainly focused for these level of players, and players that want to improve their game.

What do we do in the SCSG?

Ideally get about 6-8 players into a lobby and take turns doing 1v1s as any race or matchup, sort of like practice games but with observers. I want the people spectating to be willing to watch the game clock and whats going on on both sides of the match, point out flaws in each player's gameplay and then reiterate them after the match.

So say Billy's got a mistake he repeats in every game he plays but he doesn't know what it is. With 6 people watching after the game someone might point out "hey it seems like at 8:00 you always forget to make another overlord, or you get supply capped a lot." because having outside observers can point these things out very easily.

Then after that match another 2 players will go up, have the observers again point out what could've done better, and things the people in the match might want to take to mind.

Who is this for?

Again, this is mainly aimed at diamond players who have their mechanics down but want to improve furthur, of course, its not ONLY for diamond players, so don't be afraid to sign up but be ready for criticism that's kind of geared at a lower level player. It helps if you're fluent enough with the game to play at a relatively decent level.

How to sign up?

Either contact me in-game or leave your ID.code here if you're interested in taking part in this. I'd like to put aside 2 hours per night for this.

Please specify the following information in your post---

1) ID.code
2) Preferred Race
3) Indicate from one of the following your general feel for the game--
E. I'm below diamond level, but I want to make it to diamond someday and I am confident in my basic understanding of the game.
D. I am low diamond level (skill-wise) and feel like I need a lot of work to stay in diamond.
C. I am not that bad at starcraft but I feel like there's something I'm not getting that's holding me back.
B. I am pretty good at SC and feel like I could soon be ready to compete at a pro level
A. I am about pro level but I feel like I need fine tuning before I could compete.
S. I have no obvious flaws and I am ready for, or in the professional scene.

4) Are you willing to be a mentor? [i.e. someone who can moderate and run the events in my absence, or to run multiple rooms if this becomes popular enough]

-------

When shall we do this?

I'd like to be able to do this on a nightly basis for anyone who wants to participate. I'd say around 8-10PM PST sounds reasonable so everyone in the US can find this accessible. I'll keep the names list up to date as I can, and this is mainly to get an idea of who will start the game rooms for this. Ideally let's try to get rooms of 6-8 people at a time.

Please leave the above information in a post int his thread so I can keep it organized, and if you would like to be a mentor please contact me in game for info on how to organize this better

Also I'm going to idle in a channel on irc.quakenet.org so we can get everyone into one place when these events start. Simply join or idle this channel if you are participating. Mentors will be marked with a (+voice) in the chat so you can contact them for info on currently running rooms.

Join #sc2study and idle!

Lets make this happen.

1. ktimekiller.161
2. Zerg
3. C
4. Don't have the time to facilitate or moderate events myself



As a student and part time worker, I find it very difficult to get productive games where I learn and improve purely due to time constraints. Something like this might be an efficient use of my SC time when I can actually play.

Sounds cool but do note that your time conflics with the day9 daily which is popular in this demographic.

I am interested in participating though

1. Gimpb.330
2. Zerg but also trying to work on P and T in an effort to go random
3. Mid diamond, I think my biggest weakness is sloppiness and just playing more games is the biggest thing I need so none of those options really seemed to fit
4. I'd rather not in the immediate future but perhaps at some point

3. B? I'm 2500-2600 Diamond.
4. Absolutely, but I'd also like feedback on my own play.

I've actually been thinking about starting something like this, and have some cool ideas for the whole thing.

recently reached diamond level - 1800-1900 point.
Trying to get better but i would like people to play with and not just ladder.
For the most part I feel like I make little mistakes that cost me games.

But I watch day9 so that may conflict with this...

What time is day9's live stream? I only watch the replays not the actual live broadcast. Def don't want there to be a conflict so I'll bump this event till after his stream.

First session'll be tomorrow (Sunday 12/5)
