There doesn't seem to be much of a scene in the UK. I was wondering if anyone knew of any teams/clans, lans or practise groups based in the UK.

I play with a few other IRL friends from the UK, but I don't come across many in game.

If any UK players are out there, looking for practise partner/community. Add me. Talos.822

i think this should be in community, but w/e.
I believe there are a lot of UK gamers but they lack what you would call a national scene?
I could get a more coherent article by gluing a Sharpie to a dog's cook and letting it hump the page.

The already small UK gaming scene is already dominated by FPS games, CS and CoD; there's not enough room for SC2 sadly

I didn't even think there was a gaming scene here.

I know CSS is played alot as they appeared at the last Expo I went to, but whatever.

You probably don't want this getting too similar to the Practice Partner thread, but I guess that is only separated into servers, not smaller regions like this. I, too, am not sure how many UK gamers I come across, I assume the ones who reply to "gl hf" with colloquialisms other than "u2" are the ones who have english as their first language etc.
I'm nibbles.747 if someone wants to add me.

There's quite a lot of UK players, but I don't think there's much of an organised community.

I know on overclockers.co.uk forums there's quite a few of us kicking about

We had the British and Irish Open weekly tournaments during the beta. Flickly's sig says it should be coming back in September.

Well SC2 is already in the Iseries lan which is one of the biggest lans in the UK, so just be patient it will slowly catch on to the other gaming communities.

There a lot of UK players out there and they're definitely good players. I am currently running Nation War events for UK/Irish players and arranging a second tournament for everyone but this one is going to be bigger so it takes time.

There will be an SC2 tournament at insomnia and I have a plan to take it to another LAN in York too. Just be patient with the scene, it's there, you just have to wait so I can get things done.

Besides, it seems you missed a LAN held just last weekend and the Nation War we had last Friday.

Well Maximus Brood is an old clan that was originally UK based and made in 2000. Now it's run by europeans but that's an improvement because according to football foreigners simply run shit better (or at least we think they do). We've had a small meet up in the UK before but no LANs.

They're trying to move onto SC2 but the lack of chat channels and clan system is making it very difficult to build any sort of online community. In bnet1 people would just come to our channel, play some games, chat a bit and maybe stick around. They might be friends of friends, complete strangers or from other clans.

Bnet2 just really sucks in its current form, and by the time Blizzard patch in the vital stuff, half the player base will probably have buggered off already. Unless you have a bunch of mates you can regularly play and chat with, bnet2 is a suffocating and desolate void.
No I'm never serious.

Hate going off-topic here but do people in the UK really not think of themselves as Europeans?
this game is a fucking jokie

Not really no. (I'm Australian and live in England).

Hell most UK people don't even consider themselves 'British people', but rather a member of their constituent country, English, Welsh or Scottish. Parts of Northern Ireland being the peculiar exception.
