I did think that a GSTL style thing would be fun. But would require finding more players for teams, which may be a problem for some people?

With straight 1v1s, as UKstarcraft are already 3 weekly 1v1 cups do we really need another one with a more limited player base (students only)? I'm not sure there's that many UK players to warrant splitting them up further?
There's not that many 1v1 tournaments, which would make it a bit more novel.

American unis already have a intercollegiate league, the CSL (college star league). We should have a UK version too!

If people are just looking for a tourney to GSTL kind of competition to join, check out Valor channel in Starcraft and look up Valor beginner's league as well as valorstarleague.com/forum, it's not strictly UK, but there are a good amount of us in there, and it's a pretty fun community.

From Imperial too, will be great to get to know some of you guys near me who plays regularly. Although I will be inactive for a week or so. Also looking for a good 2v2 partner to practice with, preferrably zerg as I play Terran or Protoss.

This has been tryed to be started for many years to get gonig and has been hard as not all universitys have gaming societies let alone a active one. Hopefully this year its going to get a big push again, its called National University eSports League. Website www.thenuel.com IRC #nuel on QuakeNet.

If the NUEL goes ahead, it would be a good platform to start a sc2 tourney between unis. I know Aberdeen Uni has a gaming society tho I don't know how many of them play sc2. I know the two stall people were either bronze or practice league tho :D

I live in Oxford, though I'll be going to King's College London in the fall. Seem to be quite a few people from University of London posting here.

I really do like the idea of Stacraft 2 university league.

Well no replies for the team thing, so 1v1s it is! I'm not fussed about a massively formal thing, just a few games for fun.

So - if anyone wants some organized inter uni/college 1v1s the week after next, email ukunisc2@gmail.com, and I'll fix something up. Everyone welcome!

Ah that's annoying, I just uninstalled starcraft because of exams soon. But I'd definitely join up for any tournaments after the exams

Hey guys,

Looks like we've got quite a good group here. I'll pm those of you at Oxford the vent id in the next few days and hopefully we can play a bit before term starts up again.

Hopefully we can get some intercollegiate stuff going, that'd be tight.

Kele college here, same as Herodotus, your idea RoberP sounds incredible, I am so freaking stoked.

We definately need some kind of CSL for the UK.
Maybe an intercollege starleague as well just for oxford uni if there are enough people.

And so in order to begin the first of many rivalries:
Oxford is so gonna rape Cambridge at starcraft, we all know which uni has the better gaming bros

Anyone from Oxford that wants to join our vent and play some games over term break, post.

As for everyone from other colleges, I'm totally down to colloborate and get some intercollegiate stuff rolling.

The new Oxford vs. Cambridge game?
