Sounds like it'd be fun.

I'd be eager to get bounced out in the first round by one of you guys.

Sure I'll play. Hopefully I'll get by this losing streak by then!

EDIT: If anyone wants to add me I'm dashel 441

Obviously, I'd like to see more Gladers interested in a Tournament!

That said, of your three, who's interested in some Glade SC2 Action tonight? We can do some FFA, some 1v1, some 2v2, some 4v4 or something!

Depends what time. I'm at the gym tonight from around 7:00 eastern to maybe 9:00. After that I'd be good to go. Just some practice fun stuff would be cool.

I'll see about getting on tonight. Short-ish notice and my brother's in town, so maybe not.

Sadly I'll be busy this entire weekend.

But definitely up for future things like that and the possible Glade Tourney.

Hydras apparently got the most broken buff in the history of SC--they can see up cliffs without spotters.

I'd like to play but I'm pretty busy with work so I don't know if I'll be around. Tentative yes I suppose?

I would totally get into this except for the fact that I suck (my apm is like...15-20 on the low side....35 on the high side...) and I need to practice a lot more. I'm horrible at macro and scouting and doing more than 1 or 2 things at once.

First one is PvP on Scrap Station:

And here is a good one on Xel'Naga:

I think we played 2 or 3 more and then a couple vrs the AI, but these two were the longer ones. It's funny because I struggle with PvT and I'm comfortable against toss but after winning a couple early ones I got pounded in the long PvP game. Khross negated my Void Rays and I never transitioned out of stalkers for some reason. Terran game I think I only won because of templar storms at 27 mins in, and a lot of observers.

Eh my apm is about 40ish. Dont need to be very fast imo. I mean unless you're going pro.

I agree with Dash, you can still have fun in SC2 with lower APM. My typical average APM for a game says it's in the mid 40's, with certain points in battles getting up to 75-ish if there's a lot going on.

While I'm just a bronze level player(still hoping to rank up soon.) I still have a ton of fun with the game while still technically being a horrible player.

Hotkeys and focusing on macro really seems to help my APM. I still have next to no micro ability.

Just doing stuff like say having all my Nexi grouped and doing "4 e e e" then "w z click z click z click z click z click" shoots it up really high for a few seconds. Spam some probes, spam some units.

Build workers, build supply (pylon, depot, overlord) keeps you busy if you remember to constantly be doing that. Which I still dont!
