1v1 practice partners

On the quest to find more players to play 1v1 with, I would like to create a practice partner group. I'm around mid-elo myself(hovering around the 1650-1700 1v1 ELO range) and it would be ideal to have others from a somewhat similar range, but really anybody is welcome.

I would be available on most days of the week, basically whenever my uni studies allow.

So, what I want to achieve with this is to find people who are willing to grind out more than the occasion 1-2 games on a free weekend day. To improve, one has to practice. Playing more also has the added benefit of stopping caring about losses - the player realises that single losses or even losing streaks are completely irrelevant in regards to one's ELO in the long run and the only way to raise it is to just get better(practice).

This would not really be a commitment. It would just be nice to know who I can invite to a few 1v1s when both are idling in the lobby.

Enable quickmatch (from inside a battle room). Set everything to 'Never' except 1v1. You will be plopped out into 1v1 games whenever another player who does the same is free even if both of you are sitting in the team room.

polemic
Awesome.

I assumed nobody was using that. But I'll give it a shot.

Feel free to PM me for 1v1 as well. I like 1v1 although I tend to drift from game to game so I might not always be ready to play instantly.

I would like more 1v1 if somebody tells me why most maps (except sandcastles) and most units (except older models) have no textures.

White units on white maps are not good to play zk.

Neither a teal team-platter on white map.

Though I did it already - also disabled dynamic sun and delayed model/map rendering.
Where does Spring 95 store the settings?
I linked ~/.config/spring/ to ~/.spring/

And why are my ZK-units, but not BA/TA/Nota-units white?

I would like to join some games too :)

OTA units are in the 3do format, and ZK units are mostly in the much more modern* s3o format.

Try updating your graphics drivers, and/or try advunitshading = 0.

*UV texture mapping instead of per face, which Mavor himself described as "Now the whole way that TA did texture mapping was just screwed. Frankly we had no idea what we were doing. Jeff knew it was fucked but it was just so already built that it wasn't changeable in the time we had anyway. "[1]

Awesome stuff guys.

This thread got me thinking about how rare 1v1 and small teams are. Does anyone have ideas on how to get more of such games?
