I live in London. There's a few players around but it's pretty disparate. Overclockers.co.uk has a fairly decent sized SC2 gathering on the forums there.

I will be moving to Preston soon. Some SC2 players in the area? or are any events or LANs in 2011 likely?
|
Adeel.209 feel free to add me. I play a LOT but haven't ever gone to lans or anything due to there distance to me but i'm in south london if anything goes on ever i'd be up for it I guess.
High Platinum, diamond sooner or later I guess but will take a while yet.

Adeeler, South london is not very far from Reading by train, I know a guy is trying to set up a small LAN event for the UK that is not i-series atm.

Adeeler didn't take a 30 minute train journey to the last LAN near him on account of it being "too far" so I'm not sure how much luck you'll have with Reading.

I was thinking of coming down to meet up with a couple of friends I'm not entirely sure (I'm going up to London for uni at the end of the month) but judging from the forum, I think they do have SC2... I hope it has bw too 
They do indeed have SC2 (with accounts you can play on). I'm pretty sure they have BW on the list too. I have not seen many SC2 players there though, everyone seems to just play DOTA or WoW.

If the UK had a sc2 clan, i'd most likely join it. Just not many people seem interested T_T

@ harenzo
seeing as you seem to know London, is there much of a SC scene anywhere? decent LAN cafes? etc. much appreciated

Not that I know of . Gamerbase in HMV is the only proper LAN in London which is quite pathetic considering the population. I play there occasionally when I'm in the area.

My impression of the UK gaming scene is that Console FPS is the most popular genre with CSS and some CoD as the most popular PC titles. Bad tase if you ask me :p CoD4 for the PC is pretty good though.

I've always thought we had a decent community, you just need to be on the inside. If you're connected then you're in contact with a lot of active, decent players and quite a few community events. It's just we're not that loud so random UKs don't notice us. Although Flicky's activities on tl should change that in time.

chat channels ruined the UK community. Brood War GBR-1 used to be full a decent ammount of the time before you even started playing bw KwarK, there was even a full GBR-2 and a half full GBR-3 one time when I logged on. Those were good days.

would there be any merit in making a "who is who in ICCUP season x" thread for UK people? I'd be willing to maintain it etc if people thought it was a good idea

Sounds great.
I gotta admit my commitment to SC2 is declining after all these months having not really found a group of people to have fun and be competitive with, all my real-life friends just play casually or 2v2/3v3s and I find that gets tiresome really quickly. It'd be great to have a ring of UK-based Starcraft 2 players of all skill-levels, get to know each other and improve.
