More tournament coverage on SC:L

Maul — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 05:24:36 GMT

I'll be straight up about my SC2 habits. I visit TL for pro-scene coverage, SC2Mapster for maps and SC:L for everything else. I'm most active on SC:L with over 1000 posts and <100 on the others.

Each of those sites are speciality sites in a way. I do what I can here to try and answer questions in the custom map category and I'll bring up major tournaments when they haven't been mentioned here yet.

What I'd like to see more of on the SC:L news page is announcements of major tournaments like GomTV's GSL which imo is huge news for e-sports, which was a major player in BWs longevity. I don't expect full coverage from SC:L like TL may provide, but key announcements like GSL being announced, or GSL pre-lims complete, etc.

It won't change the way SC:L operates and will make SC:L an even more one-stop shop for SC2 for fans such as myself.

That's my feedback to SC:L, and if anyone feels a similar way please make your voice heard!

[Suggestion] The Koprulu Monthly

Disclaimer:

Before I begin I wanted to state that this idea is just a suggestion. It's only to be considered, and if nothing's done, it's fine. It's just a vague idea, and it isn't an attempt to demand anything.

Overview.

You may have heard about something called the Guild Wars or some random thing named Aeon of Strife. Or maybe a friend told you about something of a 6 pool or a cheese proxy. But what the heck is that? I'm pretty sure most people around here are lore masters or amateurs but many are not. Nor are common visitors/forum lurkers. So I just came with the idea: why isn't there some Starcraft magazine?

The Deal.

You probably have seen those magazines that promote learning history or science or useful stuff. What if instead it teaches about Starcraft? Not forcefully a strategy guide, but something more complete with lore, strategy, and all Starcraft but in a brief, atractive and easy to read (relatively). So what if Starcraft: Legacy made that magazine? The Koprulu Monthly, (lame name suggestion) made by the content staff under supervision of Gradius (Content Lead). A Starcraft magazine made by people who know Starcraft and know how to write. It would attract me. And I'm pretty sure that at least it would to some people. This magazine would contain sections like strategy, lore, updates, mapping, etc. in a nice presentation so it would attract more people to learn about the game itself and the universe it spawned.

Specifications.

[Note: Just suggestions]
-It would be released every 15 days or monthly, since the staff have other things to do.
-The sections would be constant and contain new info every issue.
-Lenght: As needed. The shorter each text is, the more attractive it can be, but less info is provided.
-It can be done by various staff (strategy, content, etc.) that work together or individually then join it.
-It would be a SC:L Featured (like Legacy Weekly, but instead of News it would inform about other stuff).

Advantages.

-It would give more visitors to the website (always good).
-It would make more conscience about the Starcraft Universe.
-Many casual gamers would get more knowledge about Starcraft.
-It would show the writers' skills.
-It would give more depth to the site (not that it doesn't have)
-Other members could give ideas and participate.
-The proyect members would learn (or develop) how to work in team

Drawbacks.

-It would need time, work, organization.
-There may be more important stuff to do in SC:L.
-It would demand research (lore) and analysis (strategy)
-At some point the magazine would become void. (Not soon enough but at some point)

Summary.

What if SC:L would make a Starcraft Magazine that contains in each issue Starcraft Info in an attractive format that would give the casual reader knowledge about the Starcraft Universe, be it in lore facts or strategies, and would promote learning all the things the Koprulu Sector has to offer?

Social groups

I can't figure out how more than one person can "manage" a group.

Is this even possible? If not, could this functionality be incorporated?

I see the "transfer" tab, but I want the Legacy Fight Club group to have more than one person managing it.

Rename "Issues / Feedback" to "Forum Issues / Feedback" or something similar. It seems like most player misunderstand the use of this part.
