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.

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

1. Flabulous.625
2. Zerg
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)

I have a small group of friends which I play with quite often and we try to do this, but it's somewhat casual and I feel we are more focused on our own game play and not the others for the most part. This would be a refreshing route to have others critique play styles and overall strategy.

It would be nice to get a few other higher level players in a group for strategy discussion. At 2.2-2.5k level, strategy has evolved past the "how do I counter void rays" stage that the strategy forum is currently in and players should be focusing on more advanced concepts like map control, dictating the flow of the game, and identifying timing windows.

JUST AN UPDATE
Moving the time back to 8pm-10PM PST for now. If we have people on diff time zones I might try to divide them up so people have more convenient times for them to get some of this practice time in.
I've got everyone on this thread and the bnet forums one on a spreadsheet now so I'll try to contact ppl tomorrow for the first event.
AGAIN, PLEASE SIGN ONTO IRC.QUAKENET.ORG CHANNEL #sc2study around 8-10pm pst to join in on the fun.
Mentors are just to help organize the rooms since we can't fit everyone in one room obviously. The flow of each match goes as follows:
2 players opt to play a 1v1, the rest spectate and take notes. After the game everyone discuss where some obvious errors were made, what might've changed the outcome of a match, and where the players could improve more. Every little detail can count! Remember don't be an asshole, we're all playing to get better, so unless you're a 5-time GSL #1 winner you aren't the best at this game. Please keep criticism constructive and not disparaging!
I'll get in contact with everyone who opted to be a mentor ahead of time so we can organize this better. Thanks so much for all the interest, I hope this becomes a helpful resource for the community.

I have a firm understanding of Zerg responses to Terran and Protoss, but my speed and ID'in' stuff from scouting is an issue.

4) Yes
To elaborate on #3, I feel that I am a very good starcraft 2 player, and I seem to learn and get better at an exponential rate (to an extent). SC2 was my first RTS (I played warcraft 3, but only custom games. I tried maybe 4-5 melee games in 3 years of playing XD). I played in the beta as terran for about 5 months. I was bronze and a failure, until about month #4 in the beta. I just cheesed to gold XD! Anyway, I switched to protoss and got around 50 total games before the beta ended. Once retail came out, I got into platinum and diamond shortly thereafter. I feel like I barely have any experience, but I grasp quite a bit about the game. My friends at school that have played brood war for years aren't nearly as good as I am at starcraft 2.
My biggest problem is practice ~ I need to play a TON more 1v1s than I do and put effort in to learn builds and timing. Other than that I think I'm fine, gameplay-wise.

2) Protoss
3) C -- probably my biggest weakness is low APM (<50)
4) probably in the future once I've gotten the feel for all this
|
Just for the above post: APM is never an issue in this game. Of course it'll naturally improve as you improve, dont ever worry about your APM.
First session was a great success! Lets keep this rolling on a nightly basis. You aren't signing up and you don't ever have to attend every night, its just something that'll always be there for people who want something scheduled as good way to improve their game and a great resource to reach people off the ladder
We had 4 mods running 4 rooms with about 6 players each, 1 in each skill bracket or so.
Anyway seeya guys again tomorrow in IRC @ 8pm-10pm PST right after day9!

1. Ilfirin 685
2. Terran
3. E Not great yet, just learning tbh, but my macro is solid, micro is getting better, scouting/map control is good, decision-making is pretty good, I can usually guess when Im about to be hit, and I can almost always immediately recognize my mistakes and learn from them. I feel at this point my biggest obstacle is the fact that I haven't learned any specific builds, Ive just been focusing on a basic macro-style build, usually OC tier 1 into a somewhat FE, but sometimes 1-1-1 into banshee or tank play.
4. Don't have the time to facilitate or moderate events myself.
Im really dedicated to getting better at the game, and would love some other people to help me improve.

Is there any way to get an earlier time for EST people? I have work at 7 AM and waiting til midnight to practice for 2 hours doesn't fit as well as I'd like during the week. Is there a mod willing to open it up a little earlier?

Need more terrans, majority of games are pvp, pvz, zvp, very few terrans at these events. Or are all you terrans too perfect?
2nd night another success, probably would've liked to see more diversity but this is still growing. Thanks for coming everyone who showed.
I just want to point out one thing, please don't rage if someone that doesn't play your race offers advice. We had one incident tonight in which a game went sour over some rage when someone pointed out a very non-race-specific error and the player took offense to this. The point of this is to make EVERY error we can obvious so that you can keep these things in mind and improve upon them. Don't take any criticism offensively please. Hope to see more learn gettin on tomorrow.
Same time 8-10PM PST on IRC: (irc.quakenet.org) Channel #sc2study, right after day9's daily! Get the word out :D

It will be nice when patch 1.2 hits. I think it will help a lot with the organization of this.
It is funny you are asking for terrans, because out of all the games I ran on Monday I only had one game that didn't have a terran. lol :D

I think there is enough interest in here to get something going for the east coast as well. I go to bed about 10pm EST as I have to be up at 5 or 6am so there is no chance in making it to the late ones. If we were to do some earlier ones, say around 8-10pm EST that should end right before Day9 and not conflict with it.
Should we start another thread for specifically EST times? Or even just open it up to any times favoring the evenings. Everyone could keep IRC open and when there are enough people to start a group just go from there.
1. Bedon.768
2. Zerg
3. E..Slowly workin my way out of Bronze. Watch at lot of Day9 and read the forums here constantly. A lot of it is remembering to do what I know I need to do. Once I lock down all the mechanics I should be a lot better off.
4. Don't have much to offer in skill mentorship but I would be willing to help out in any way possible.
|
Seriously.. is TL a US community?
I was so interested in this but then i readed "so everyone in the US can find this accessible" - what bassically means that this games will be on the US server and not EU
You should have written at the start of the post that none-US players do not read this :D

Like he said previously feel free to start this up on EU. Its very informal so dont think we have some great process that EU doesnt or cant copy.

Exactly, even though Mephs is the one who so kindly started and organized this it realy is a community project so the only thing limiting EU or asia or SEA from following suit is finding other people on your server to do this with. Just looking at this thread there are a ton more people than the original 6-8 that the OP mentioned who signed up, so why not start organizing something on your server.?

I just want to point out how amazing of an idea this is. My friend and I were looking for something like this that we could practice and improve on, and we were talking about it just yesterday - how coincidental that this should happen to show up! We should, almost for sure, be there tonight both in the IRC and in-game.

Hey all, just posting to say that I love the participation in these events. I missed last night by accident cuz the gf wanted to go out and I forgot (don't ever piss off a woman that lives with you, kids).
Anyway I'm working on getting a ventrilo server for this, seeing as the turnout has been amazing thus far and Mr. Bitter (aka Flabulous) made it pretty apparent how valuable voice chat will be in this! So I'll post the credentials as soon as I get something going, for now please continue to use the IRC channel.

A suggestion on how you run this: if you had both players put themselves to busy, everyone watching could message them their suggestions in game. After the game, the players would have the comments separated by observer and can then watch the replays with all those comments in text right there. Maybe if they also said what time of the replay the comment is focused toward it would also help, for example "4:30 - idle scvs by your gas"

I've only played starcraft for 3 months or so, but I am a 2400 diamond at the moment and pretty confident in my abilities as a player, but it's always good to improve. Never be satisfied with anything you do. I and dedicated to getting better and would enjoy helping others as well.

3) C. I feel like I have good game sense and knowledge but I'm missing some of the finer points. My mechanics are good but could be better. I'm around mid diamond in skill level right now.
4) Probably not now; I'm a student and I barely have time to play starcraft most of the time during the semester so I can't really make any commitments to this.

Sc2Study has a chance to get a chat channel in game. Are there any plans to make such a channel?

So is this only in america?? Or also in Europe. I have an account on both, but 8-10PM PES is to late...

I've been in the IRC channel a couple of times and I never see anyone there. Is this really going on?
