I'm compiling some figures on Barcraft attendance in the UK. If anyone from the London, Derby or Strathclyde barcrafts could contact me I'd be very grateful.

Just started getting into SC2 the past 2 weeks or so. I used to play CS (in my younger ultra-competitive years), so this is all very new to me and I don't really know what I'm doing.

Also, I don't have any gamer friends anymore. Everyone's "growing up" or something. If anyone fancies guiding me through the basics of this game, I'd be uber-grateful.

Just join the Uk channel on bnet, somebody will be willing to help you.

Also, watch Day9.

I already had the figures from Newcastle. There's 10 cities with Barcrafts in the UK now. I was just getting the figures together from all of them and hadn't heard from those three at the time, but everyone has got in contact and given me their numbers now.

I've compiled them all and written an article at StarcraftHUB.net. I even made a graph of Barcraft attendance out of beer glasses - check it out

Just in case people don't know. Gamerbase are holding a bi-weekly tournament on a Saturday.

http://www.gamerbase.com/?a=post&id=119807

Last week was really fun and I believe the number of people who attended around the UK was 56, and it would be a shame if it died down.

Hi guys,

Just a quick shoutout to the UK scene, Karnage eSports recruitment is currently open for:

- 1x masters protoss
- 1x masters zerg
- 1x masters terran

Players are expected to participate in the community on a regular basis, play the odd clan war and compete in regular online tournaments. The ability to attend lans is also a big plus!

Add me on Skype if interested: karnage_dave

From Bristol too, there was a Barcraft here for an MLG event in November I believe. I'd have gone but it was i44 weekend so was at that instead; did you go?

Hi guys, I'm trying to get a list of links and information about the UK SC2 scene, including teams, players, casters, tournaments, barcrafts etc. I'd love help if any of you can give me any information to help me.

I'm compiling the list for myself, but am willing to share it for people that are interested.

Thanks,

Nathan.

Here is a list of UK Teams and Players we have compiled at starcrafthub. If you don't mind sharing your list list it would be great to include any teams that you have we may have missed, or any updated rosters:

http://www.starcrafthub.net/index.php?topic=96.0

We also have a BarCraft map here, although your best bet is checking their facebook/twitter as events are so regular these days information is constantly changing:

http://www.starcrafthub.net/index.php?topic=81.0

We will be working on a UK caster list in the near future.

Thanks! Those links are great.
I'm looking into getting a list of UK streamers too. Having a place with clear list for all of this stuff may help people wanting to get into the UK scene. I know it would have helped me if someone could have said "here is a link to everything you need".
