This is basically what the Protoss Discussion channel is like. Theres always 40+ people in there that are playing games. Though theres mostly platinum-masters players. This sounds interesting though.

You're right, the Protoss Strategy Channel is similar in some ways (mainly that it's a chat channel, and it's filled with people...) but different in many others.
The 1v1 Channel isn't about finding another player around your skill level and beating him to impress your friends (though I will admit, that's half the fun of getting better at SC2, and we do it quite a lot), it's about putting yourself against players outside of your league to get a better understanding of how stronger players operate; it's about spectating players that are less practiced than yourself, and helping them to improve their game; it's about putting theory to practice and testing new strategies in a controlled environment.
Additionally, the Internet is full of dicks; SC2 is no exclusion. This is a good way to weed out the wankers. Sure, we get one or two join the 1v1 channel every now and then (the price of adding new members, sadly), but we /ignore them and they don't stick around for very long.
Looking forward to seeing you in there mate.
