    StarCraft II esports for high school?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 08:33 PM PDT

    I am a high school StarCraft II player and I wanted to add SC2 as an esport in the school club but i need ideas on how we could compete if we do make a team. Also, there are others who do play but not alot, at most like 5 I think. I also understand that StarCraft II isn't a dead game, but its not as popular as the other games out there now.

    Basically, are there any school team leagues we could compete in (preferably for prize pool)?
    What ways do you suggest getting more people into the game?
    And finally, considering the state of the game now, is it even worth it?

    Thanks,
    junwoN

    The Tempest upgrade is nice.

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 01:29 PM PDT

    I played a game today as Toss against Toss, and he opened with cannons in his natural and i spotted a startport and (that other building that unlocks tempest) and i was sure we will do a 2 base all in AirToss thing. I started my own and after a few minutes, like 5 i was on 5 bases and attacking him with AirToss.

    Then i noticed the Tempest upgrade was already in game, i thought it was still in testing phase.Started it up and with it completely completely destroyed his turtle base. He had lots of cannons, shield batteries and so on. Had it not been for the tempest upgrade it would've taken soo much more to break through that. It was great.

    Nice update
    Edit: Don't judge me, or him, we are in Gold, where everything is chaos and absurd

    StarCraft II team league for lower league players? (Gold and Below)

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 09:41 PM PDT

    I have a team of newer players who at highest are gold 2. We have about 10 players who are eager to learn and play, but because of such low league average, i was wondering if there was a team league for lower and rookie players. If you could let me know, that's be super helpful. Thanks!

    Sincerely, junwoN

    Gained a ton of respect for CreightonOlsen just now!

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 09:21 AM PDT

    Apart from the mad schedule that man is keeping and the passion he shows in his casts, he is really a decent and principled dude!
    He instantly kicked Liquid Death as a sponsor after being notified of one of their ads in which they use their product to waterboard someone!
    I really appreciate this move, especially in light of him being an up and coming caster who might struggle to find sponsors!

    Kudos to you Creighton, keep up the good work!

    ZVZ baneling changes

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 12:36 PM PDT

    3 banes no longer kill morphing banelings.

    They have 50 health.

    Pre patch: 18x3 = 54

    After: 16x3 = 48

    Just wanted to let everyone know, because I felt like an idiot earlier.

    "Is it imba or do I suck?" Diagnosis Imba?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 07:42 AM PDT

    So as I just recently found out Harstem has this rubric of videos on yt called "is it Imba or do I suck?" where he analyses Imbalance claims in games from various leagues.

    I'm definitely going to try and watch them all during the coming weeks but can anyone spoil me if there has been a video yet where Harstem actually came to the conclusion that the Imba-claim was correct?

    Thanks!

    Feedback on Pylon Episode #101 and Idea on different region qualifiers

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 02:28 PM PDT

    Apologies if this has already been brought up a week ago, just listened to most of Ep. 101 of the Pylon Show. I'm a huge fan of the Pylon Show and I hope it goes on forever, nothing but kudos an appreciation for all the folks that help make it happen but wanted to give some feedback as a long time listener (mostly I listen on Spotify).

    1) As a listener, unfortunately Episode 101 was (in my opinion) not a good episode. It was actually the first episode where I had to turn it off and stop listening about halfway through. I think the quality of the discussion and listener's experience really went down due to the drinks a couple of the guests were having. I understand its fun having drinks with your friends and to have these discussions (I'm normally the first one in on this for drinks and arguments as a participant) but as a listener I had to turn it off.

    Maynarde and Wardi, I felt like I could feel the frustration coming from you guys and as a listener that's how I felt as well which is why I had to turn it off. Constantly being interrupted and spoken over when you were trying to talk by loud, swearing, incoherent rants just made me so pissed off for you guys I couldn't listen to it anymore. Kudos to you two for sticking the episode out, much respect.

    2) Everyone was very opinionated about the whole tournament regions / server discussion for who can play where and who is a part of which "scene". Just an idea, but would it work to have the rules such that whichever server you play the majority of your ladder games on for the previous season that's the "region" you are a part of with regards to tournament qualifiers, etc. Get away from all the country/passport/physical location ties because as we know there are loopholes with that. We want StarCraft communities to grow in all parts of the world regardless of where the person lives or is from. Ie, if any UK players (or any other players in the world) want to play in the SEA Qualifiers, then have a rule state that the SEA Qualifiers will only be played on the SEA Servers (Singapore, Aus, etc.) AND if a player (regardless of where they live) plays the majority of their ladder games from the previous ladder season on one of those outlined SEA servers then they can play in the SEA qualifier. This allows for basically only players from the SEA "scene" to be a part of the SEA qualifier. And since you only can have one majority of previous ladder games played on a server, a UK player who players >50% of their previous season games on SEA now cannot also play in say an EU qualifier as well so they have to choose which scene they would like to participate in and this makes sure they are actively contributing to that region's scene (by playing on that scene's ladder primarily since basically all offline events are cancelled indefinitely right now) prior to the tournament (not just coming in last minute, taking the prize pool, and leaving). Let the players make a choice for which "scene" they want to be a part of.

    Now the first argument might be well what if a bunch of players from Korea now decide to join the SEA or NA region and play on one of those servers for the majority of their season's ladder games opposed to the Korean servers. Well I would say if they want to play with that big ping disadvantage as a baseline, and sacrifice their eligibility to participate in the Korean scene then I'd say let them join the SEA or NA scene and then let them participate in the SEA or NA qualifiers! I don't think we're trying to be exclusive of people being part of a different scene, we're just trying to discourage players from coming in at the last minute and "stealing" tournament winnings when that player really hasn't had any past engagement in that scene. As someone from NA (Canada) I would say having someone like Stats or Dark playing the majority of their ladder games on an NA appointed server and then playing in the NA qualifiers, I would totally rally behind them even though they are not from NA because they fee like a part of our scene now (thinking of something like Polt who was essentially our NA hero back in the day even though he's from Korea).

    Now you may say something like well what if say Stats or Dark decide to now move to Canada (because no one wants to live in the states right now) and start playing in NA (something like True did a few years back). Well that would also be fine. First, they would have to spend a "Blizzard SC2 ladder season" on NA before they could participate in any NA events (either playing from Korea with a big ping disadvantage prior to their move or moving to NA and playing a ladder season there first) to satisfy the "majority of games from the previous ladder season" requirement at which point they are making their way into the NA scene and then I'd be all for letting them play in the NA Qualifiers (keep in mind they are now sacrificing their eligibility to play in the Korean scene because they no longer have the majority of their previous ladder season games on Korea). I'm skeptical if many/any Koreans would actually go this route and physically move to another region but in the case it does happen then I don't think there would be much of an issue including them in the NA scene.

    Anyways, Just a couple comments/ideas from a humble SC2 enthusiast (don't even know if anyone will read them). Again don't mean to be negative about the Pylon Show comment but wanted to provide some feedback. Much love and I hope all 4 of those guests do hop back on the Pylon Show sometime soon as they do account for some of my favourite episodes as well :)
