I haven't spent a ton of time playing around with the PTR chat channels yet, but the time i have spent i've been able to find a few useful channels i figured i could share with everyone:

teamliquid - obviously. this is probably the most filled channel i've found, with a constant 60 + people in it every time i join it. pretty easy to find people to play games with, but be warned if you do you'll get a million requests to obs.

koth - koth stands for king of the hill and this is the channel to join if you want in on some king smashin' action. this channel is also moderately popular, with a constant 15 + people online every time i join it.

obs - this room isn't as popular, but its cool because its a really easy place to find games to watch if you're in the mood for sc2 but don't want to play a game yourself. personally i'd like to see this one fill up more than anything, just because sometimes its nice to have some people watching your game. make sure you aren't lagging when you connect to a game though, that's kind of frowned upon (damn you university internet!)


anyway what popular channels have you guys found? does a day9 channel pop up during his casts? how about a GSL channel?

Wouldn't a GSL channel be useless since we have a General e-Sports channel?

i have no idea! maybe gsl is just for people discussing gsl, where the gen esports channel could be about dreamhack, mlg, esl, etc...

something i've noticed from playing other games with chat channels is that the ones with tons of people in them are never the general channels, they're the ones with some utility. like #findscrim or #findringer for counterstrike, or the trade/rushing channels in diablo 2. i want to know where those channels are, not because i want to find a ringer or whatever but just so i know where it is when i do.


on the other hand, if there are channels with people actually TALKING, i'd be interested as hell to find one of those. sadly, i don't think they exist (the teamliquid channel notwithstanding).

I don't think its time yet to discuss this. The 1.2 is still on PTR. Once it released 'popular' chat channels will follow. Just wait and see.

not that this will add to the thread but findringer brings back the old cal I days. I'm sure there will be some specific matchup channels popping up though.

Considering the vast majority of players probably aren't on the PTR server, it's safe to say there will be a huge variety of channels when the masses get their hands on them. And everything will be plenty full.

I think the obs channel is great, that's where I'll probably head alot of the time.
