Inter-CUNY CSL sounds awesome. I mean, location is a huge problem, but we can always meet up at Internet Cafes (hassle most of the time). First of all, we'd have to ask the CSL organizers if they'd let (I can take care of that later), and then meeting is, once again, a huge hassle.
Hell, if we're serious about it, meeting shouldn't be much of a hassle. CUNY kids usually have unlimited metrocards, right?
It's a matter of how low you want your grades to drop.

Ain't that the truth?
But really you don't have to meet in person to practice if it's that big of a deal.
If it's more convenient you can just share a voice chat program like Ventrilo (I know SC2 has a voice chat function but I find it to be very unreliable) and spectate each other's 1v1 games. You can follow up every match with an analysis of the replay and spectators can give their input.
For events we can meet up. For practice it's not entirely necessary to be in the same room.

I'm going to Queens College spring semester :3

Currently using Skype while training. I'm not good enough to be in a league anyways

TL Vent is always great. There are tons of slots available on it.

If anyone wants to get on I usually hang out in RoLClub private channel just let me know and you can come on and we can play.
But yeah, I'd agree meeting up all the time isn't necessary but the best part about this is the actual matches we could meet up for set up a stream, cast, etc. It would be fun event all around assuming we find locations.
Oh and anyone who wants to be added to the OP use the format I posted in it. Otherwise I can't add you out of lazyness and lack of information.

@btway
iirc you're currently ranked at plat? I too am ranked plat right now. We should go and fight to the death.
@RebirthOfLegend

I'd love to play sometime :D
Or we could just fight to the death. Your call

lol anyone who wants to actually play feel free to add me. Whenever I am on I wouldn't mind grinding 1on1 in a specific match up so I can actually start getting the feel for it.
also ZoW don't hate~
I am a Diamond player currently at around 400, but its because I only played 30 games. I also play Protoss.
|
I haven't even played my 1v1s since I'm very sporadic with my games and inconsistent. I can beat a diamond player if i'm at my max. haha. ANd what I"ve been reading is very true. We can just skype (23 people max) or TL Vent to practice, it'd be a very good idea.
|
Haha. I'm probably the only kid here who goes to Lehman College. It's pretty far from the rest of them, but I'm only here for this last year before I transfer out this year. If something happens within that time, I'd like to see if I can show up.

I sent a message to the CSL organizers and they will not allow us to form a Inter-CUNY CSL Team because our schools are too populated. So the only way we can do it is to make teams per school. =\
On another note, we can all still meet up sometimes for events as well as train together if we can.

I think you should at least be able to form pairs of colleges to enter because CUNY schools are pretty small.
Zow will carry his team

What the hell. Screw that, they (CSL organizers) REALLY think we can easily get 5 ppl per CUNY school? We should start our own "CSL" then, and call it something like CunySL! Battle among the CUNYs and see which CUNY is the best out of them all!
Or an individual star league style among us CUNY students like in OSL/MSL and at the same time have a team league for CSL somehow within CUNY since CUNY IS ONE BIG SCHOOL.
Still don't get why Inter-CUNY CSL team cannot work when each individual CUNY school isn't an university but a college.... and university is made up # of different colleges where in this case, they shouldn't have CSL by univs but colleges. Imagine that. The CMU engineering school has its own team and the business school on its own if we have to break up into separate CUNYs.... only fair to us then.

I think that each CUNY college consists of 10,000+ students, more than enough for each school to form its own team.

Rules
These rules apply for Season 3 (spring 2010). Please note that all rules are subject to change.
Eligibility
All colleges and universities in the United States and Canada can register in the CSL.
Players must be enrolled in their respective institutions as students (either undergraduate or graduate) at time of registration.
Players cannot be suspended by CSL for previous infractions.
The minimum number of players per team is four, but it is highly recommended to have more.
Its only 4 people per team and there are plenty of people in CUNY schools you might have to advertise around your schools to get some tho.
Sure you might have to do a little more work to find people and lead a team but in the end our NYC lans might get bigger.

Well if you guys feel so strongly that respective CUNY schools can find 4-5 people to make a team, by all means go ahead then. I do not see that happening for any of you to convince and get people from your schools to play in CSL with you. I tried for the past 2 semesters I've been here in Brooklyn College and I have not found a single SC player committed to play with me nor anyone who goes to TL.net.
And if that was the case, then we would have had individual CUNY teams by now or lots of people from CUNY on TL.net instead of this thread asking if anyone goes to CUNY. Sure each school has over 10k, but most of them aren't us who commute to school, go to class, then go home and also work and live their life the regular average American way.

I also agree with this. It's not that easy to find SC players when your community is so big it hardly enforces social communication. Like QS, I haven't found one in my 1.5 years at CUNY John Jay until this thread first popped up. Note how empty this thread is with CUNY people. If there were really THAT many TLers in the CUNY system, then this thread would hypothetically be much larger.

I can't stop myself from thinking how close Y is to T on the keyboard when reading this.

We should change that. Posters are nice and free to put up.
