ATTENTION ALL IRISH SC2ers!!

UntidyIntent

Hi folks, I made this thread because I think it's important for the Irish SC2 scene, if there is too be one, that we all come under the one banner so to speak. I think a good way too start is too try and have 1 main irish grp on sc2 that all the Irish players should join, there is currently a few out there and if the owners read this plz get in contact, if u like the idea, so that we can merge the grps. Secondly a main Irish clan would be another obvious choice, one that all irish sc2er's would join etc. I know this isn't maybe a huge step but it might be what is needed too get the ball rolling by havin everyone centralised and hopefully with large numbers and lots of ppl online discussoins will take place in real time about tournaments and all that other crap boards.ie is a great medium but i think somewhere where we can all talk real-time as a group would be aa good first step. So PLEASE think about it and COMMENT, thanks for reading. Peace!

YES! This is most defiantly the way to start a solid SC2 scene in Ireland. There are 2 groups of note already one with 30 members and one with 25. We need the two admins of these to go from where these are but it seems they are rarely online. Hopefully they will post but if not I suggest we pick a suitable name and all join that, maybe UntidyIntent would be happy to create a new group. A clan will shortly follow but lets get all Irish players in the one group first

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

there's an irish starcraft channel on quakenet
#starcraft.ie

UntidyIntent

I'd be happy too start a grp but 'd rather w8 till we got some more feedback here b4 i go ahead with anything, also throw out Name idea

can we join even if we are really really bad
(and in about 2 months when im finished college)

UntidyIntent

Of course it wouldn't be much point if we excluded people!

Good idea. I wouldn't mind making an effort to try to get from Diamond to Master. I pretty much gave up 1v1 once I reached Diamond a year ago.

The group should be called POTATO£AM¥N€

My old laptop was so bad that I couldn't play if the armies got maxed out so I pretty much did one-base plays all the way up to low diamond. Only getting the hang of 3-base+ games now. It's actually very easy to out-multitask people so far. Posture my army + zealot warp-in = no workers for you

as terran my lategame fear i tell everyone is warp prism dt in 3-4 bases its such a bitch to deal with if you dont see the shrine , lucky for me no one seems to do it

It's definitely a potent tactic. A good Toss will use this multi-pronged harassment to force a good engagement, what you have to do is force this engagement on your terms, crush his army, and punish his smaller army count due to the 10+ supply harassment (this army deficiency is compounded by the fact that your army supply should already be bigger due to your saccing of SCVs for the lategame).

I panic whenever I see SCV's being sacked. Terran army is bound to be bigger

GosuIrish

It can be annoying but if got alot better at dealing with it and i like to make a few sensor towers to cover for it too , just having them stops alot of toss even trying prisms , TvP probably my fav matchup to play, very hard and unforgiving at times but i love ghost vs ht wars and once iv 20+ ghosts i feel like i should never lose : )) , if i would stop getting dam tvt i feel i could be masters fairly soon but i suck so bad at it right now

I second this, great name.
But all non toss players will disagree

UntidyIntent

If its Our Life for Eire the short name can be OLE

Grimebox

Less talk, more action :pac:

UntidyIntent, you are our provisional leader; get it done

UntidyIntent

Lol Ok may aswell make that clan so

Message me in-game, clan will be 'Our Life For Eire', acronym [OLE].
Get everyone u know and more too come, I want all the Irish sc players in this clan! or as many that want too.

WardyCfc

Clan is up and running guys. Get on in here. Also SCIreland is the group you can find myself and Untidy in.
We are also in Eiré but we have yet to get in contact with the owner of this. Preferably join SCIreland for now

Grimebox

I'll join over the weekend and see if I can get some friends involved. I might make a stab at getting to masters. I am gold at the moment after playing around ten 1v1's after throwing my placement; I put myself in bronze on purpose just to try out some wonky builds carefree. I was diamond in WoL

UntidyIntent

Great! I won't be on over the weekend but Wardy and Isopara (think that's it) should hopefully be on and they can invite. I'll see u there next week!

GosuIrish

odd having people to talk too on b.net

Hey,I cant join the clan cause im already in one and your only allowed to join 1 per account on bnet but i joined the group sc2ireland

just a heads up,I searched "sc2Ireland" and couldn't find it in bnet and had to search "Ireland" to get it,dunno if it was just for me or some bnet bug but yea try both

UntidyIntent

Cheers for the heads up! Any fun showmatches on the way?

hmm not in the near future ^^,i recently changed my set up at home ( my monitor size,seat height and seating position)to match what it would be at live tournaments which set me back a bit then i got used to it and about 1-2 weeks ago i decided to retrain myself in how i use the keyboard,like which fingers press which keys and changed my hotkeys slightly also( i could go really indepth with what i did but ill save you the long read ).

Its really hard lol but im getting the hang of it,its kind of a case of take 2 steps back to take 1 step forward or w/e that moto is ,i got ranked into grandmaster but obviously i didn't want to play on my main acc when doing these changes cause i didn't want people to be like "wow abombs so bad" cause i could barely attack move my units haha,so i got kicked from grandmaster for a big bonus pool and 3 days later blizzard announce the whole wcs and that to play in it you need to be grandmaster LOL!so unlucky for me

but on the bright side,sure i could have played the wcs with my suboptimal keyboard use,or i can miss the 1rst one and do better then i ever could have in future ones (like 4-5 down the line)

soooooooo yea no showmatches soon

UntidyIntent

Balls man, bad luck on the wcs! Wudda been nice too see an Irish player at a serious event. But hey if the new setup improves ur overall game at least thats sumthin! Would the wcs be the only one eu'd be interested in? Why not the Intel or UK masters one?

abomb

yea i went to insomnia47 eset uk masters and place 9-12th i lost to KraS, more so from my own mistakes,1 game i forgot storm,I was way ahead from warp prism harass,had my 3rd base he was on 2 and when his army was at my 3rd base i realized i forgot storm and it would have been an easy hold if i did haha then next game i went for a warp prism sentry drop on his ramp,his units were out of position at his natural,i droped my units,told a sentry to forcefield the ramp and warped in some units,looked at my base to build a pylon,went back to the warp prism to see that for some reason the sentry didnt cast the forcefield and all my units were dying,iv done that build loads of times and that never happened to me so of course it happens when im in a big tournament haha ^^,i think nerves got the better of me.

then at the recent insomnia48 eset uk masters that snute won i was supposed to go but my team booked my flights with ryanair,and booked the lowest weight for my bag(15kg) and i had to bring my pc so my bag was pretty heavy.When i got to the check-in desk they told me i had to pay an extra 260 euro each way for the extra weight in my bag,so 520 altogether.So i couldnt go cause i didnt have that much money on me so that was a total disaster .

Then i was supposed to go to dreamhack stockholm at the end of the month, and again my team was sorting that out and they registered me too late so i cant go.Soooo yea im not too happy with them atm lol specially cause catz wanted me to join ROOT at the start of the year and live in peru (dont know how well you follow the scene but if you remember that guy ROOTsucceed an up and coming swede who joined root and went to peru,catz wanted me to go with him)my team really didn't want me to go and im in a contract with my team and they said they would leave me go if it was a big contract for me but that since root weren't offering me a salary or paid travel to tournaments that they wouldn't let me go since i would get more experience with them ,i kinda agreed but now its kinda silly don't you think?

its not like i think i have a shot at winning any of them anyway but its good experience ,so it sucks ^^
you can be sure ill be at every big tournament i can get too after dreamhack stockholm,but im not at the level to do consistently well at all of them but maybe in 1 i can have a deep run ^^ and ill just use them as experience in the mean time.

UntidyIntent

Well that is some unfortunate and aggravating management on your teams part there. Plus we all know about how **** ryanair are but that takes the piss. I have been following the seen closely enuf the last year or so and I have heard of succeed and it is a pity u missed out on that, great for ur sc2 cv too have played with Root at any level. Also I know how nerves can ruin your day i may be plat but I know how tense games make ur build orders wonky when u know u have them down! I watch ALOT of online tournaments and pro streams, where I saw u actually on Huskystarcraft, delighted too see an Irish player doin so well! Best of luck in your endeavours and here's hoping we see your name up there soon ^^

GosuIrish

Have they really said GM only ? seems like something that would screw over a lot of players

Generic Dreadhead

How do I go about joining this clan? I'm actually a lot better when I'm playing alongside other players than when I am 1v1

UntidyIntent

Just message me, Isopara or Wardy ingame and join SC2Ireland

Grimebox

You should post your character name and code in that case!

GosuIrish

UntidyIntent
