SC2 & BNet n00b FAQ

[Lexus86]

Hi there,


just wanted to start a n00b SC2/BNet FAQ, as I'm a n00b myself concerning this. ^^


BNet - Questions:

1. How can I add a "stranger", e. g. player I played against/with as a SC2 friend? Because I until now only had their nick, not their ID. And not always is their ID same/near (or can't be) their nick name. (I mean I also had this problem when choosing mine. And it won't get better with the masses...)
2. What does these "Bonus pool" points mean and do? What if I run out of them?

3. There seem to be states that show up next to ones rank, e. g. "relaxation" (! wtf?). What do they indicate? (Translated the term, hope you understand...)


SC2 - Questions:

1. How long are the game phases approximately, so early-, mid- and late-game? (10 minutes per phase I'd guess...)

You're welcome to continue the list of n00bie question (as long as the mods are ok with this ^^), I can add them myself too, if you like that better of course.


Thanks in advance!
