Mostly it's about Barcraft and geeks invading the bars and taking over the TVs. I approve.

Woah

I was invited to a barcraft this weekend, but I'm not sure if I'll have time to go just yet. They look like fun.

Id go if I was invited, nothing like enjoying time with a bunch of peers that may share the same interests.

That and I can advertise map making :awesome:

I might be going to one in Tampa, FL on the 28th, and only because of this topic.

A friend of mine actually told me about these about 2 days ago. He also told me that colleges have their own sc2 leagues. So colleges compete against colleges. I might just enroll at the local college to join some games.



None.

It's actually fucking enormous, they have 150 colleges just from North America and the competition is extremely well run.



None.

I looked up my local college and people I know from high school are on the team... CSL Sacramento

I am laughing because these are kids that I stomped on in Brood War. And they are 3-0 apparently? Maybe I should consider picking up SC2 melee in that case.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Don't underestimate the improvement rate of younger players. A few years ago, I was slightly better than Devourer in BW, but now in SC2 he would roflstomp me every game.

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM
[08:48 am]
NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[08:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Oh_Man -- Close enuf

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?
[2026-9-21. : 4:14 pm]
Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?
[2026-9-21. : 3:44 pm]
Oh_Man -- 1 action is selecting the unit and another action is moving it

Vrael -- 240*12 is 2880, where is the other 3000 APM?
