Ok so looking around the forum recently, I have noticed a lot of people have been joining our community and having a hard time adjusting to the immence skill gap between the "average" player and someone who is new to the game.

So heres what I want you guys to do. If you are truly a "newbie" and I mean new to the game, still learning the fundamentals please post your account/server/channel on here, that way you guys can message each other and play people closer to your own skill level so you guys arn't going into every single game expecting a horendous loss...

Losing is important, probably more important than winning in the learning process, but I think we can all understand going days without a win can be terribly frusterating...

I've had this game for 10 years lol So I am really just putting my name on the list so I can help you guys out if i'm online. Feel free to message me and ask me to check out your replays and give you a couple helping hints... If I dont reply, I'm in a game... wait lol.
Also guys most people on here use the iccup server which can be found here...

http://www.iccup.com

It's completly free, easy to install, just make an account on the website, the account you make on the website is the same account/password you will use to login to the server.

I will try to keep this list as organized as possible by Updating it a few times a week. Hope this helps you guys out. Hear from you soon!


The team Liquid channel on iccup that most people use is : Op irc



Account name/ Server / commonly used channel(s) 1-2 only please


1) Reptar-.- Iccup Server Op irc/exp kill
2) AlTheCake Iccup Server Op irc
3) 2bitter Iccup Server Op irc
4) theantz Iccup Server Op irc
5) Khenra Iccup Server Op irc
6) jodogohoo1 Iccup Server Op irc

Good idea, I'm a former b.net champ and B+ player on ICCUP years ago... now I suck so I don't think I would be too hard to beat! If you want to practice on an experienced but out of practice player

"Immense", not "imminent, not "imminence".

You could have gotten away with using "imminent" anyway, even if it would have been slightly awkward word usage. Imminent is somewhat synonymous to an extent with "immediate"..."immediate skill gap" makes sense...so "imminent skill gap" could have been ok.

Immence is just...lol.

I am the worst player on TL.

I lose to sym and pellucidity. My number of wins never goes to double digits and I usually end up with so few points I have to make a new account just so people will play me.

After like 3 seasons I haven't improved even slightly.

I have never played a game with anyone except for some close friends (who are worse than me). I'm actually quite afraid to play anyone because I'm just that bad. I would love to play you, though.

Oh and, just made it:
