EPTUpdate #1 after GSL: So we handed these out for the GSL Finals between Genius and DRG. There was a lot of interested looks and people definitely seemed to appreciate them but I didn't plan too well how I'd receive feedback from people there. I saw people read them front to back, and I saw people give up after the first page and turn to their friends. People have pointed out some valid criticisms in this thread that may have something to do with that. Overall... It was an okay success.
We're fairly busy now with other ideas + our lives (damn you Uni!), so I leave the task of improving on this idea to someone else

If you find any misspelling or ANY errors (size, fonts, whatever): Tell me and I'll fix'em !
If you want the PSDs: contact me (will probably answer faster via email or facebook page)
Thanks again to Rampager & ausproleague. Great job, guys!

What is this?
It's a (hopefully) simple, A4 double sided "Introduction to Starcraft 2" handout, meant to be given away at the start of a BarCraft. Free to use, change, distribute, etc, all that jazz.
Why?
We (Sydney Barcraft organisers) watched over 350+ people come to our previous two BarCraft events. A good portion of those people were continuously leaning in, pointing at the screen and going "What's happening? Why is everyone going nuts?" Friends dragged along, reluctant girlfriends, random passers-by, maybe we could help them understand.
The Handout
(Note: A couple of updates were made and are present in the PSDs above. Also, if you're unhappy about something and are planning to print these off for a BarCraft, feel free to change it yourself to suit your desires! :D)

Print on an A4 page, and fold in half.
Only four pages?
It was a conscious effort to try and keep it as succinct as possible. One double sided A4 page seemed like the way to go. There's still a lot missing of course, it's really, really hard to condense such a huge game like Starcraft 2 into minimal words and images. We tried our best, and we see there is problems but our deadline was tonight (for printing purposes) and this is what we wrangled up
I'd absolutely love to see someone pick this up and run with it. I'm just a simple uni student armed with Photoshop and zero creative talent, I can't imagine what some of the talented guys here could do
How about a video?
We have this on the way as well, but it's significantly more time consuming. Slowly but surely...
Enjoy your BarCrafts! Cheers!
