UC Berkely Starcraft Lecture 11 year 1 month ago
by shadowie

UC Berkeley is the first university (outside South Korea at least) that has a StarCraft course, and it actually gives credits! Above is lecture number 1, it's focused on the history of Starcraft. Definitley worth watching.

The outline for future lectures is as follows:
Week 1: Competitive Gaming Industry Overview / StarCraft Boom in Korea
Week 2: Units, Strength, Weakness, Attributes, Stats
Week 3: Fighting Micro and Unit Use
Week 4: Army Movement and Positioning
Week 5: Expo and Macro
Week 6: Building Placement and Base Layout
Week 7: Scouting and Counters
Week 8: Harass
Week 9: Overloading the Enemy, Multi-plays
Week 10: Economic Basis, Micro vs Macro
Week 11: Timing and Evaluation of Resources
Week 12: Deception
Week 13: Mindset and Series Play
Week 14: Tournament


Starfeeder has posted some more info about the course during the last weeks:

Berkely is full of hippies. It's really not a pleasent place unless your very liberal and anti government. Better of going to University of Virgina.

And that's a bad thing? :roll: I'd choose liberal hippies over religious neocons any day. Not saying UoV is the latter. Actually, what are most students at UoV?

Lets keep the conversation civil, and on the topic of SC. LOL

It said they'd have to have math, geometric and calculus skills... so there's a lot more to it than just playing SC...

I meant Berkley since Audie confirmed it's full of hippies. Hippies > Emo, it's a lot easier to make fun of them.

Yeah.

So if I want to gather resources for my fridge in a local food store, I should terminate security guards first? :twisted:

Starcraft is all about competition, while real life is based on society with rules, in Starcraft you just nuke everyone.

They are just concervative people at UoV. Its just a very good college to go to and is well funded. One of the top 25 in the world for sure. It's very beautiful as well. It'd be sweet to play SC on some of the computer systems there. Huge projector screens and top of the line HD video systems. Plus UoV has gothic style buildings as well.

I'm sure North Korea and Iran agree with you on the nuke part. :p
