Hello everyone, I'm making this thread to replace this, which is extremely out of date, having been edited last in 2010. Note however that the TL thread is NOT the primary means of discussion for tamusc, as we have our own forums (<---click) for that, which are quite active considering the small size of our group. This thread will serve as a place for recruitment and the gateway to our forums. When registering, please use your tamu email so we know you are a student, as registration requires approval by admins. If you are not a tamu student but would like to register, just post here and I'll approve.
When posting in this thread, include your

Current League
Why? Cause the old thread asked for it and I'm too lazy to change things. (and I guess people can add each other easier)
Short History
Like most collegiate SC groups, we started when the Collegiate Starleague (CSL) was founded. At that time, only 5 people played (none of which remain today T_T), and the team made it to the playoffs of the last bw csl season. The release of sc2 saw a massive influx of people to the starcraft community, which led to the creation of the current TAMUSC. Membership has been consistent, usually about 20 active members with some coming and going, and unfortunately many joining our forums, making 1 post, then disappearing forever. For the past 2 years we have refrained from becoming a more 'official' organization, however we are starting to have more people grad than we have people coming in, so we are working on expanding and becoming a TAMU organization, with the hopes that an SC group will remain for years to come.
What do we do??
PLAY GAMES
This one is obvious, we are first and foremost an SC2 group, however lots of people also play other games, such as Diablo, Dota, LoL, and a bunch of other stuff.
We have epic weekend-long lans every few months, although the epic Gilantic series is on hold due to not having a house to do it at anymore.
We are always hanging out in vent, so join us there if you'd like (vent info on foums), and chat chanel 'tamu' on sc2.
CSL
We have participated in the sc2 CSL for the past 2 seasons, making it to the RO16 of the playoffs in both. Hopefully we can improve and make it farther for 2012-2013~~
Update: We made it to the ro32 of the Azubu collegiate champions~
While there is obviously no league restriction for joining tamusc, playing in csl matches will require you to be mid-masters or higher (that restriction exists because we have enough high master players to field a full lineup every week). In addition to that players must be active on ladder ,exceptions will be made if you are super-gosu ^^. This restriction doesn't apply to 2v2.
Go to Events!!
Previous MLG's have been held in Dallas, and we all went and had a supersexyfuntime. Maybe we will get lucky and have another MLG in Texas soon .
The folks at TeSPA (Texas ESPORTS Association) have hosted a few tourneys, including the Lone Star Clash, as well as CSL regional playoff qualifiers, among others. They are relatively close so we go when we can.
BARCRAFT The first barcraft in CS was hosted just last week by monstermatt for the MLG Anaheim championships, and there will be more in the future.

only 3 lolz, I think our teams success would grow if we had more...just look at all the top csl teams!
On a serious note, only 4.8% of the student body last Spring was asian, so not surprising.
Janaan.750 Terran Silver/Gold (Haven't actually played in a long while, so I need to do placements again. It'll be somewhere around there, though)
I don't have a whole lot of extra time for gaming these days, but I'd at least be interested in hearing about if there's a barcraft going down or something.
The next really big event is GSL finals at the end of July..but those are at 4 am or something, so thats probably not good. MLG summer championship is August 24-26, by that time most people will probably be back in CS too.
WhoCaresWho.917 Protoss Silver (On this account only, was playing on a friend's account for 2 years and reached Platinum there) Email = david.ellis@tamu.edu
I want to get much better and looking for a training partner at the moment. I also love e-sports as a whole! Love watching SC2 as well as LoL and Dota. If you want someone to watch an event with and get into it, im here!
topDrum.531 Protoss! Can play zerg at at least diamond level though. Formerly 500 point masters with 1k MMR. Broke my hand in may, followed by getting it half eaten by a pitbull at work in july. Final record at the end of that season was 46-29. Picked up a few hundred from LANs before I got hurt :p
I just started practicing again, I'm getting pretty decent again for sure. I have my macro mostly under control now, so I'm pretty close to my former skill level. Really good PvT, PvZ is second best mu, and PvP is so-so (still masters level at least though, and I'm focusing on it atm).
I really only have one friend to practice with though, so having multiple people (especially those better than me) would help me improve really quickly.
Hm I'm not sure if i've posted here or not, Like last year i think i signed up but i was confused about what yall do, but jeff came up and talked to me at the gym so i thought i'd give it another shot: sooo

Do you play on fish server? I might get some time to play BW today..I'm pretty chobo though;
edit: Well nvm that doesn't really matter lol cuz I can play on iccup too.
I don't have brood war installed right now. Can you link me to how to dl iccup? When I played before I just played custom games on west and mostly lan lol.

Lol thats weird.. Are you able to host games? The apartments I live at suck and don't let me open ports for anything, so I can't host or be in game with more than 1 person .
I don't think they allow portforwarding on campus. I'm not sure if this hosting is like wc3 hosting or not, but I could host wc3 if I had a router and open the ports. I played a 1v1 and no lag, but in a 4v4 I lagged out the other 7 people. Maybe we could lan sometime. Or if you can use hamachi, I have code to make sc2 work on the udp! no lag and no hosting skills required.
Shameless bump for visibility with HOTS coming out! If anybody sees this, join our facebook group and get involved! CSL is starting up soon too, so if you're masters and think you might want to play (maybe even diamond) then definitely let us know. Megaliskuu is our coordinator, and he does everything on the facebook page as well. JOIN JOIN JOIN.
Also: There are quite a few of us going to MLG Dallas. If you want to carpool or want to meet up, let us know o:
The forums aren't used much anymore, join the fb group and add me on skype (id avreal31) so I can add you to skype group :D. Also I maintain the clan on SC2, add me in game megalisktl@gmail.com.

Have we really only known you for four months? Dang :O
Bumping in case there are some freshmen browsing TL! CSL will presumably be starting up again in August and we want to have a lot of fun stuff to do outside of CSL for our not core-5 or so, so if you're a player but don't think you'd be able to play CSL or something, we will still gave fun stuff :D
I've played against some of the TamuSC guys in customs and ladder and they're always such nice people ^_^ Highly recommend this group if you want friendly and competent players to hang with.
Hi, I'm going to be applying to medical school next year, and I'm probably going to apply here. I saw this thread in the TL community side bar, and I thought I'd say hi.
So how is the SC2 scene here, are their tournaments? Lans? other fun activities?
