Great to see eSports grow in the UK and most importantly, Scotland <3
Is Twitch Gaming kinda like a PC Cafe or am I terribly mistaken :3

Yea it's a brand new PC Cafe, who are trying to support SC2 as much as they can.
|
Aww if only i didnt have to work saturdays...
Great seeing more UK tournaments though and especially Scotland too :D
|
Looks like the prize pool has increased a little, awesome.
Anyone think they can take the title "best scottish player" of gimble this time?
|
gogo yoyotech!! Deranging, Adrenal and Seemples <3 team pic plz :D
|
Everybody shout JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
This was such good fun last time, would absolutely recommend it. Looking forward to improving on my ro8 finish. 
|
Ooh, wow this looks like an opportunity...to get stomped
But in all seriousness it's great to see Esports grow away from the upper tiers slightly.
|
Sounds like its gonna be one hell of a day ^^
|
Its nice to see the UK scene growing, good luck everyone
|
Would love to come, but you all had to go and have it the day before I come back to the mainland from Orkney -.-
Will try and bus out from Aberdeen though if you have another one within a month and a bit - otherwise it's really a little expensive and inconvenient to get down from Orkney 
Have great fun though, should be a blast
|
Thanks, Actualy getting nerd chills for this. We are working on final schedule for live streams and will be annoucing all the coverage/live stream informaton on thursday.
|
Interested in this new InC member is.
|
Id love to go but its too far to travel sadly
|
This is the Uk scene atm people, quality venue and well ran tournaments, check it out if you are serious about your esports
|
Its gonna be good. Will be watching the stream :D
|
Sign ups will be open till 11am on the day but we fully recommend you send in an email if you are coming as the event is filling up quickly. Thanks for support all.
|
I'll be there! Even got a mate from yorkshire making the journey all the way up to support the tourny.
Although i dont expect to get very far its great to support UKStarcraft and meet some of you guys from the chat channels.
Cya there.

Good work man! We need all the active support possible
|
I'll be there again!
Hopefully there are as few Zerg players as there were last time as my ZvZ is utterly terrible at the moment. We'll see if I can get past the top 8 this time, I don't know, the competition's looking tough.
|
Probably would have went to this if I wasn't heading down to i42 next weekend.
Looks cool though, I'll probably come to the next one.
|
Only 3 days to go, hope everyone is excited as I am.
|
Is it a crime that I'm actually looking forward to the preshow more than the event itself? :D
Just having a preshow makes this seem so professional.
|
all noobs at this lan, i drone rushed 'em all ;D
naw, Good stuff for the UK and ........yeah, bakors a noob - i can live with this.
|
I'm starting to get this tingling sensation in my fingers .
I wonder whats going to happen on the Preshow tomorrow :o

I would come, but a train from the midlands is pretty pricey ^^
|
Just found out about this, I should be there : )

Look forward to seeing you there.
We are working on coverage and news that we will release tonight.
|
24hours to go
All packed and ready to head off, tomorrow.

|
Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow, should be a great day
|
Is there a stream?
|
Yep, Leonstarcraft will be streaming the preshow tonight and the event tomorrow. The preshow was due to start at 7pm but this post is just to let you all know we're aiming for 7.15pm at the moment as the guys are still setting up some stuff. Hang tight!
EDIT: (19:39) An Xsplit update is causing problems with our stream. The guys are hard at work and we'll be up and running soon... hopefully.

Agreed, in this spirit I wish to buy pints for my opponents before each game xD

Pints before first game in the Tron, ya?!

Oh damn, only just seen this . Would've liked to have come up there too :'(.
Serves me right for not looking at the tournament tracker I guess....

Up nice and early! Time to get some practice games in methinks!

Sitting at the venue at the moment, people slowly trickling in now.
|

What was the score in the finals? i was still on the way home when it was played.
|
Great quality stream, i might attend the next event as it looked so sweet. GJ to all those involved in production and the players
|
It was 3-0 to Adrenal in the finals
|
Nice tourny, cya at the next one!
|
Sweet, are the casted replays gonna be available?
found em on justin tv
|
Another well run tournament. Good atmosphere, good people, good games. Highly recommend people attend the next one, regardless of their level of play.
|
I'll definitely be at the next one if I see it faster ^^.
Adrenal, watch out! ;D
|
I would like to give a quick shoutout to the people who made the event happen, Twitch Gaming (Alan, Alex and Ewan) Massive thanks for supporting UK SC2. Thank you to staff Leon, naZo and gAn.
We will work on the issues we know about but any feedback is great.
Thanks for attending all, see you next time.
|
Twitch Gaming need to expand down south !yo!!!!!
|
Finals Ceremony. (spoilers for results if you're waiting on vods)
+ Show Spoiler +
|
Is the date of the next one set?
|
Yep, I believe it's the 4th of June. Now that I'm home I'd just like to say thanks to everyone who made the effort to come to Edinburgh for what turned out to be an great event with excellent production values and some incredible games.
I may or may not be in Edinburgh in June to co-cast the second qualifier, but I'll certainly be looking out for some of the players who just missed the cut this time as well as some bright prospects that caught our attention! Hopefully this will be an opportunity for some of the lesser-known UK players to have a breakout tournament; Naypam played fantastically well to come second and deservedly won the MVP prize, but Dzerzhinsky and Kakashi both showed some excellent games up against very strong opponents. Glad I didn't have to play either of them.

agreed, this was a great event (and ran on time too), only thing that could have made it better would have been more seats in the spectator area xD

Cool, i think the 4th is the day after my last exam but i should still be able to get there, can't wait
