12. Starcraft 2 Players who receive three Technical Fouls in one Match will be given a one Game penalty. After three Technical Fouls, each subsequent Technical Foul in the Match will result in another one Game penalty. When a Starcraft 2 Player receives a one Game penalty their opponent will be allowed to select one unit, other than Probe, Drone, SCV, Zealot, Zergling, Marine, Overlord, or Queen, that the Player with the one Game penalty won’t be allowed to create during the upcoming Game.

just very luckily got a press pass, and was reading up and found this gem. obviously shouldnt ever happen, but would be hilarious if it did. imagine the fun of no stalkers or no roaches. terran would be fine though they got marines ^_^

Lol.....I can just imagine the havoc.

ZvP: "no sentries"
ZvZ: "no roaches"
ZvT: "no siege tanks"

TvP: "no stalkers"
TvT: "no tanks"
TvZ: "no banelings"

PvT: "no marauders"
PvZ: "no roaches"
PvP: "no stalkers"

Just for the sake of it, What would be the best unit to ban/the best way to use this rule in your favor? My thought was to ban stalkers\roaches\marrauders. which would mean basically any race has to go up to tier 2 (or whatever, tanks/immortals/mutas) to counter banelings, making any baneling all in (or also hellion all in i guess) basically unstoppable. Unless you make tons of static defense i guess.

Medivacs. Also observers in TvP, just make mass cloak banshees you can't be killed.

They said they were going to take their stupid Halo shit out of the SC2 rules. No self respecting pro will use that rule, I honestly expect them to change it immediately if anyone ever cites it.

i dont think thats a halo rule o-o.

the halo version after 3 technicals is you wait a full minute or something like that during the start of a game before you can pick up a controller

so basically lol O_O.
OKAY FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE I SEE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

Like eagles and flying cats that always comes up around MLG events. Even if it's a Halo rule they gave some thought to list which units you can't exclude.

At least makes sure everyone gets extra GM.

I dunno, removing banelings against IdrA would be pretty hilarious, even if it makes for a sham of a competition.

Edit; nvm I can't read
Anyway I've never seen MLG actually enforce rules in sc2, hopefully they won't have to do so in the future It's all about sportsmanship, even though it's true that some in-game conversations can be borderline. I remember a Idra vs Huk game...

Yeah, we actually talked about this rule a bit on a thread for MLG Columbus, I think it was. I think it would be hilarious to see it actually enforced at some point.

Imagine if a player was slapped with this penalty but broke it during the game by producing the unit which he should not be able to do. Would he accumulate more penalty points? Haha, that would be funny and sort of counter-productive (though I imagine he would just forfeit the game).

you dont know much about mlg do you

they think every game is halo until proven otherwise :D


i would imagine that if they tried to enforce this rule the players would either refuse to play or would pick units like battlecruiser and carrier to avoid being a dick ; /
