Really good Idea, it's funny that it's still 4 pages though, damn starcraft why are you so complicated??

Have you guys toyed with the idea of making an educational video? Like a 5 minute presentation on SC2. Just play it before barcraft starts?

Great job! It can use minor tweaks though.

For example, you say the goal is to wipe the enemy presence off the map. You should instead say the goal is to destroy all of your enemy's buildings, since that's the win condition, and would explain why people base race.

hm, good work, though I still think some parts are too specific (like the baneling and forcefield part).
I'd rather put in some stuff along the lines of: "the general aim is to destroy your opponents buildings but if a player feels like he can't achieve it anymore, he gives up by typing gg"
maybe mentioning that there are air and ground units in the game, and not every unit is good against both.

but yeah, generally very good work

A few typo's. It's "dependent", not "dependant". Also, I'd say "wipe opponent of battlefield", not "opponent's presence".

Correcting typos with typos... :o

And this is awesome. Best work I've seen someone do to try to educate someone that knows nothing about SC2.

To really get people interesting they should somehow see a Korean FPVOD and being able to see his hands, then they would go like woah.

Very well done, page 1 leads them in without over providing info at the start and then builids up the amount of info as you go deeper into the handout. GJ

Well done. I think the info in this pamphlet is the perfect amount to start. A second 'advanced' pamphlet could be made up with more info for people who ar still curious after the first one. I would make the second pamphlet go into each race and it's units (show-casing a tactic or ability from each). Stuff like Mules, Stalker Blink, Muta stacking, Blue Flame Hellions, etc.

A very good idea and the handout does look great. Could you guys also make one that kind of introduces you to the scene, to promote upcoming barcrafts?

If someone doesn't know much about something, the last thing they want is being bombarded with pages of information because they asked one simple question on a whim. I get the feeling you might scare away more people than you get interested in the game.

I think a sheet that has a picture of each unit, its name, and maybe a quick blurb about what it does would be helpful. That way, whenever a caster mentions, say, Stalkers, the person can just look at the sheet and know which unit he's talking about.

Very well done! I like how you keyed on key words and phrases that they will hear from the shout-casters. Very short and easily understood!

Just wish there were a barcraft in Mid. TN :-(
