Yeah IRC is used by all clans and is idea for finding scrims and talking to other clans.
Other channels you might want to join and that are good for finding scrims.
#teamwarfare
#caleague
#scrimnet
You can connect to any of these channels, as well as the one's Poncho posted, automatically everytime you open IRC if you add them to your favourites list using mIRC. It helps alot instead of typing /join everytime you connect. mIRC is an easy way to chat without taking up alot of resources.
One more thing. Under Tools>Options if you go to Display>Options and click the Tray button on the right you can checkmark "Place mIRC in tray when minimized." This keeps it in your tray rather than taking up room on your taskbar. You also want to have the last 'Animate if there's activity' one checkmarked as well as the first "Always show mIRC in tray."
One final thing. Under Tools>Options again for Sounds you might want it to Beep on Query message so that it will beep when someone messages you. Now under the IRC one goto Options and have it Flash on Query. That'll make it flash if someone sends you a private message.
None of this is required but if you're going to get IRC you might as well do these things as they help with the overall experience.
