Me and my pal are 8th 2vs2 silver league few hundred points from the gold league.

and me and another 2 pals are in 4th in the 3vs3 bronze league should be in the silver soon too after a few more matches.

on the 1vs1 I'm only in 30th place in the bronze but hardly played any matches 1 vs 1.

tend to play as terran most of the time.

Im currently in the gold league in both 1v1 and 2v2.

Play as Zerg because I like to Macro, they were also my favourite race in SC1 as well. Just got used to not having to double hatch due to having Queens now.

Will add you tonight. Shame they changed Battle.net so theres no chat room.

I got to get myself a copy of this. If only I had more time. I used to be a SC1 fanatic :) Does it run on Mac?

Not too sure about Mac tbh do a quick google :) it's addictive I can't stop playing it.

I used to be totally addicted to SC1, used to play it every oppurtunity I could get. SC2 is well worth getting, just be careful your system has a good enough spec.

What used to be your main nick Maxinc?

My MacPro is quite powerful as a production machine but the video card is only a GeForce 7300 GT which I don't think is enough for SC2. Maybe is for the better, getting hooked on a game when free time is so limited ... could be bad.

I never played on battle.net since internet wasn't so widely spread in my area 10 years ago but used to play at various gaming clubs. Can't remember my nick though ... it was most certainly max-something.

My standard macbook plays SC2 just fine, granted gfx are all almost on lowest, but it runs fine.

Laptops have never been gaming machines really... well not without going mad on the wallet.

Not played this yet, played the original a little but tbh im hooked on Bad Company 2 atm so I dont have the time to play this.

i never got into BC2, had it from day one love the gfx n stuff but only put in about 10 hours online play.

10 hours... Hmmm, I done a bit more than that. It does help that I got about 8 regular friends that come online to play, its certainly a team focused game so to have people to talk to and help sort out tactics and where the enemy is certainly helps...

I should stop the derail...

I used to play CS:S quite a bit, took part in clan matches etc, just takes too much time though!

A lot better when you have people to play with, especially if you can use vent or TS to chat.

yeah I used to be a Cs/Cz/Css player.
We use mumble now rather than vent and TS. mumble response times are very impressive.

If you want to add me cool. Its the same name as on here to make things simple (though I just linked my stats so I dont know why I said that...)

Anyway, we use mumble now. Works well and its handy because you can see who is in channel and who is talking if you dont know who they are in game. Sound quality is more than adequate too.

Never heard of mumble, although saying that I havent used voice chat for years, not since my cs:s clan days.
