Been playng in UK for last 2 years due to studying, SC is probably dead in UK, seen some ppl in Battle.net, 80% of them are students from other country, some others do not state but they r not very good (Or as good as german or polish). Sc2 seem to be different, still all the time see germans but have some friends in UK to playwith now. BTW, if u look for a practice partner or just a friend add me double1185 :D, at platium rank atm and desperately try to be a diamon, still thing not work so well :D.

i studied in UK for uni and i alwaysg the impression that british people aren't very big on gaming. why is this?

i mean i met midian and kwark and all the cool dudes but still. around university and sutff it just seemed like ppl only went out to pubs and played football . (lol stereotype)

It's true. My uni friends are mainly geeky/nerdy people, but even they don't play many games. By far the game most played here is MW2 in my opinion. WOW, CSS and UT are also played a bit.

I'm so glad to see that there are some SC2 players here!

Mw2 is for the unsophisticated geek, who, when losing says loudly and slowly woooooooooooow, as if there is some all powerful being denying them the victory. SC2 Players have class when they lose they write a formal essay on why they were at a disadvantage and how all terran players have a huge advantage. Personally I am the latter.

Modern Warfare was really great multiplayer regardless of what anyone says. But after maxing out in level there is no point in going for the prestige levels so I didn't bother with MW2 multiplayer just the single player.

I never got into Halo multiplayer for some reason and WoW is such a drain on your life its not worth putting the effort in and CSS never evolved any further.

If/when(fingers crossed) SC2 gets chat channels I think UK SC2 ppl would group more and the UK scene would develop from there. I'm sure there are tonnes of UK ppl playing SC2 that just don't know about TL.net but they would know about chat channels eventually.

Once chat channels come around always ask where the opponent is from and if UK tell them a chat channel or something.

For the sake of history, I propose that be our channel. Irish are welcome too.

Just some recent congrats:

Meepy & Jdanzi qualified for the UK EPS in the first qualfiers, so congrats to them. There are still 5 more, so plenty of oppurtunities to get in!

Also, DeMu went through the German IEM Qualifier, so we have two UK players in the event.

Various Cup Results
Go4SC2 Cup #36 - Meepy last 32
Go4SC2 Cup #37 - PuReBall plays in the 3rd place game against BRAT_OK Tonight!
Go4SC2 Cup #38 - Ourk last 32
CraftCup LITE #1 - Ourk 3rd place.

Ourk also got picked up by 4 Kings this week, so congrats to him.

I agree 100% about the chatrooms. Hopefuly we will see a sharp increase in UK players once they are implemented. in the meantime we should all try our best to get the UK community going. I'm currently arranging friendly tournaments (for all levels), replay tutorial casting, advice tips for new players on my stream and such, if anyone has anysuggestions let me know.

Also if anyone else is arranging things for the Uk scene i will be 100% behind it to try and get it moving :D

Any southcoast gamers here in the UK, I live in Brighton and the Gaming scene down here seems to be completley dead.

I am looking for some more Gamers like myself to meet up for a Pint and a chat.

If anyone fancies some practice games add me, Braindamage.362
