I also have a cousin and a brother that I'm trying to get into SC2, but they also have a phobia of competition in games; my cousin will only play games he will handily beat me at, and I guess I beat my brother so many times at fighting games that he doesn't want to compete with me anymore ;_; I might be going to college in montréal, though, and when I do, I should be able to find some people to play starcraft with that'll be better than me! | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=183961 I am in about the same situation and stumbled across this thread. I joined some channels and stayed there for a while, watching for games//players/general activity of the channel. I also copied some names from the NA server and the channel that "helped" me most in EU was "obs". Just stay there and you can invite people to your games(just 1on1 without obs or these KotH maps for example) or you'll get invited to games of other players to obs/play. You'll find people from masters to bronze in there, at least from my experience. So you can try this and maybe you'll find some "friends" at your level. (Haven't read the whole thread, so sorry if this was posted before) | ||

I got 3 to try out SC2 and in 3v1 they now manage to beat me after some time, but except for maybe once a week playing against me they don't play at all nor do they care about the pro scene (though after i introduced them to some custom maps, they play colony line wars and nexus wars from time to time). Sadly i couldn't find a single player from my region (Flensburg, Schleswig-Holstein). I'll go on a LAN not far from here next month and there is a SC2 tournament there... i hope to meet a few more players there, hopefully someone on a similar skill level. | ||

BW Lan required people in the same room but BNet suffices for people all over. Why don't you guys make a chat and get together online?

If you want it more national, an additional TLKOTH SWE, TLKOTH DE, TLKOTH DK, ... should be possible, too. These guys are right, in person is great and all, but BNET pretty much handles everything you need to have a long distance lan (observer mod/chat) So if we just get everyone feeling the same way into an active practice channel(tlpickup does not count), and maybe sub channels for skill ranges it will work out. One suggestion though, I say we name the channel, "lonelyhearts" :D. Edit: Why on earth isn't there a way to bookmark channels, having like 9 to reopen is annoying. | ||

I mean I cant force my friends to play but is there some place or site where I can find people? And I dont mean practice partners etc only, I am only Bronze so I dunno if that is even neccissary but I mean people to play and watch streams with and discuss other than just this forum, or the live stream chats  .Any ideas? And to get something else to talk about, how often do you play with your friends like KOTH or similiar? Discuss! You should hang around on GameCreds sometimes, that's exactly what the site has been designed for :D Granted, it's invaded by Frenchmen and the site can be hard to navigate sometimes, but I bet you'll find pple here who share your passion (I mean, it's sc2-oriented!) As for me, I'm lucky enough to have a bunch of firends playing the game Not all of them are very "gifted" at sc2, so I kinda let go of my ambitions to grind the 2v2/3v3 ladder though, but it's still fun playing with them | ||

I agree ^^ I think what I'm gonna do is just start wearing my TL shirt around my campus and hope that it acts as a sort of nerd-magnet, thus enabling me to find people interested in SC2. Sucks not having RL friends as into the scene as oneself. At least TL is here for me ^^ | ||

Whats worse is ANY time I hear somebody talking about starcraft in any way shape or form...they're talking as if they know the game really well n shit, but everything they say is just wrong....and when I ask them how they play and such, they mostly just say "oh we were talking about 2v2 strats." or "oh ya I'm in silver league" I have gotten a few of my friends to go from thinking starcraft is on par with WoW in terms of stupid, to actually being excited during a reallly epic game I'm watching while they're over or something. Its just that nobody will fucking play the game....meh, I did meet a korean dude though who saw me playing in the food court place, came up next to me and said "oh did you play starcraft 1 much? I'm KOREAN(much emphasis on this word xD)" ^.^ Oh well, maybe I'll be able to bribe somebody into watching MLG with me..... | ||

I also tried getting them into watching SC2, I actually invited them to watch Jinro vs. MC in GSL3 (witch turned out to be a pretty bad idea, since 3 of 4 games where one sided and boring). Sometimes now they actually watch stuff and we can talk, but nobody around me is as interested as me. I think a good way is introducing people you already know to SC2. Or maybe organize a local tournament or something. I think I will do that eventually at our university,that would actually bring a lot of people together, but I haven't had the time yet. I'm sure now is the best time to do it, though. | ||
