Well TL, I am completely stumped and am hoping maybe you can help me out.

I was contacted by someone who wanted to hold a StarCraft related contest and offered a couple prizes worth around $100 each. The only problem is I have NO idea what to do for the contest.

It doesn't need to be anything huge. Just something that can easily be covered either through YouTube or a Team Liquid post and ideally involve as many people as possibly very easily.

Sorry for such a broad question for a blog, I'm just really struggling for ideas here.

Thanks!

As always... :D

So cute :3

How about a series of "impossible scenariors" where you describe a situation, say... a lone zergling is trapped in a medic brothel, with their firebat pimp and the zergling must escape!!, and then have TL draw the zergling's way out (somehow). Like the draw your way across the bridge, but Starcraftish.

Teach your puppy to play starcraft contest?

He could probably get something going during TSL for like "most creative ladder replay", then you can commentate on it or whatever

How about having a race to see who can beat the campaign the fastest?

SC rap contest of course. It seems to be the one thing that TL actually lacks talent in. Should be funny.

How about playing with funny handicaps like, you can't use certain basic abilities (attack mode, hold position)? Or maybe you can't make more than 10 workers (makes for low econ games which can be more fun in a contest setting)? Something like that could be fun.

Damn another tandom starcraft contest would be cool. Are you looking for something alot of people do and send in like an art contest, or a skills contest that a handful of selected people do?

Yea like Kawaii said, a bracket contest for the TSL once it's down to 16 might be fun. I'm sure lots of people would have similar brackets so people could guess the score each series and such for tie breakers.

Have a contest to see if anyone can finish a fan-made SC2 before Blizzard does.
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game
