Introducing myself/yourself

hi, wanted to introduce myself to [rev]. I am a new member from new York, ny, usa, I am C-iccup/B league remaster terran who plays all race for fun, and is interested in business. nice to meet you all! looking forward to playing clan war with rev and enjoying each others company.

Hello!

I'm Buenaventura, 30 years old from Sweden, and I play zerg at a really low MMR like 1100 or so, and I've only played since a month back perhaps - but before then I've watched brood war games from Korea since I found Klazart, Moletrap, Diggity and the sc2gg people commenting games on youtube, I watched so much since then! Then recently I took the plunge into actually buying the game, and I really enjoy it! But it's so hard! But there is no other game where I can see myself growing as a player so clearly, and there is simply no better game, so I think I will just stick with brood war for the forseeable future as my main game <3

My first brush with the BW community was in Lmaster's Beginner Starcraft discord, and also CPL discord, and since I found the community I've been playing almost exclusively practice games to prepare for my upcoming Rookie Star Leage and when it start CPL matches, and it's been really fun as said. After practicing a particular build on a particular map for the RSL and really bopping my (admittedly seeminly much weaker) opponent, it felt SO good No other competetive game gives the same sense of satisfaction!

I never touched SC2 looks too bland I think! I do play Overwatch tho, to relax after the intensity that is SC, and otherwise my main interest in life is games, I play and follow lots of interesting indie games and studios.

I saw the Recruit-a-Noob initative and I really liked the way [ReV] was presented and also, the time zone fits. That's one thing - since I have 2 kids and I work, I have only a quite specific time frame during which I can play games - 21.30-23.30 GMT+1 every evening, pretty consistently! I generally devote at least 1 hour of that to starcraft, generally more, and in [ReV] I'm sure I'll find practice partners here for those hours

Otherwise, I value good manners and a positive non toxic athmosphere, and that seems to be the case among many here, so that's lovely. For me the social aspect of BW is really important - I dont have much social life outside work because personal reasons, so it's very nice to be in a warm community around BW.

Other notable things about me:
* I use linux (ArchLabs currently) and thus play Starcraft using lutris/wine (works perfectly!) and have been doing so for ages, exclusively
* I work in the regional government archives as an trained archivist, and I have a computer at work, so I generally hang out in discord all day procrastinating and avoiding work
* I have two sons (6 and 8 years old) who are great!
* I was first a tabletop roleplaying nerd, then I was a anti fascist activist nerd during unversity, and now I've evolved to a video game father nerd

Thank you for having me! I never was in a clan back in the day so I'm very excited to wear a cool clan tag in the end after all these years x)

Hello everyone, I'm Jarkko, 28 years old male from Finland.
I've been playing StarCraft since 1998, had like 7 years break after I got back to the best game ever made.
I mostly play team games (2vs2, 3vs3, 4vs4). I've experienced almost every competitive servers on SC/BW. WGTour, PGTour, iCCup, representing many good teams, one to mention liquipedia.net/starcraft/Samjoc_Gaming (ex Nb., I was one of the first members on that team) for example.
When I'm not playing StarCraft, I'm working as security officer, or facility services worker nowadays. My hobbies off gaming are thaiboxing/self-defence + various sports.

Hi! My name is Stephen, I'm 31, live in -at the moment sunny!- Scotland, and as some of you may have figured, I'm an old [ReV] member from 'back in the days'. I should say to begin, that I won't be the most active, as I work full time, and studying for a degree part time, and it's not fair to spend all free time away from my partner, but whenever I can, I will be online, helping out. I love this game, and want nothing more than to play it again

My re-emergencee is somewhat prophetic, if not surreal. I had a strange dream, in which an old team mate of mine ( uC.Vlad - I don't know why this particular friend, the subconcious is a strange thing ) was reaching out to get a hold of me via a website. I tried GG.net, but soon realised that part of the BW community didn't exist, so ventured to TL.net, where after wrestling with many passwords, I log in to find a message from our dearest Incomplete. This message was from two years ago however, aligning with the release of SC:R, and was inviting me to come join him, continuining after our previous venture all those years ago, which I will speak of later if there is the demand. I replied back to Incomplete, but didn't hear anything for a few hours. Meanwhile, I had tried Battle.Net and was getting to grips with the 'new' system. After Incomplete was in touch, I finished my shift at work, rushed home and quickly got involved via Battle.Net & Discord, and now I'm here

My history:

So I played on and off since around 1999, but was active again from around 2003, mainly joining some teams around the UK. Over the next few years, I became more aware of the 'foreign' scene, and of e-sports in Korea through being around teams like (TE) & ToT ( two of the strongest teams of the time ) which inspired me to improve my game and be involved in creating a strong team myself. After another period of inactivity and floating around some European teams ( [CkG] & uT) ), I decided to start afresh ( around 2006 I think).

I can't remember exactly how I met uC.Cr1stY ( now Cr1stY[ReV] ) & uC.Soko, but I eventually joined their team. Through my commitment to playing the game, I was online very often. This gave uC. a constant online presence on B.Net. Somewhat like Incomplete for .ReV, I managed to attract quite a few players to the team ( uC. ), and with building a website for the team, my commitment was honoured, and I was given a leading role in uC.

After some relative success with uC. , things began to dwindle for whatever reason. I think it was a mixture of newer teams turning up on different servers & interest in other games, not to mention peoples personal lives can be busy. Anyway, we had a strong connection with .ReV, with many mutual friends and played many games together, as well as a friendly rivalry. In order for us uC. guys to stay together, and still compete at our high level, we brokered a deal with .ReV , where we would all join, take the tag, I changed the website to display .ReV tags but .ReV would take our higher positions in the various clan leagues. A move that suited both us at uC. , and strong upcoming players in .ReV, who wished to compete at a higher level. It was a very prosperous time for us all, but it was to be short-lived.

Due to Incomplete's personal life, he had to take a back seat to the runnings of the team. Without getting too much into the detail of things, over the next months, the team slowly disbanded. I left .ReV, focused more on increasing my skill level, as well as continuing to improve the UK national team, which I led throughout my tenure in uC. & .ReV.

Once SC2 beta was released, many players moved there and began to play different games, many players took up poker for some reason, and with a personal friend group which was gaming more on Xbox360, I decided to give up the game once and for all. I did occasionally check the various individual league websites, to see where my old friends were, and how they were doing, what rank they were etc, but that was the extent of my 'reaching out'. I did, and still think often of my old team mates/friends. There really is something about this game/community which brought people together, and I'm so glad to be back a part of it. It might not be the same as the olden days, but that's more a call to make it ours and help it evolve!

Look forward to gaming and spending time with you all!
