Teams confirmed!

Team Dignitas
Quantic
Evil Geniuses
Team Liquid

Fuck yeah, random monobattles. The mans monobattle, the only real way to play that game type online. Random races, random units, the ultimate in improvisation. Work with what you have to craft a strategy on the fly and eliminate the opposing team. It's fun and no two games are ever alike.

Let's take this dice-rollin' piece of nonsense to the next level. This is a challenge!

4 Pro teams

BO3

Double elimination format.

1-day tournament

BO5 finals.

Forced-random unit/random race monobattles, 4v4.

$1000 winner takes all.

Standard EU Random Monobattles rules, forced random unit and race, no medivacs, mothership, warp prism or corrupter.


But what about the competitive aspect! - Screw your competitive aspect! Real men random monobattle. This shit'll put hair on your chest son. You have no idea what unit you'll get, you have no idea what comp your team will get, you MIGHT NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO SHOOT UP SON!

Seriously though, this is a pure fanservice event, a chance for the pros to cut loose in a fun format with a cool prize. The audience gets to see their favourite players do something unusual. BO3 double-elimination helps balance out the random nature of the game but remember, nothing is ever certain in random monobattles. There's nothing to stop one team strategically damaging part of hte other to ensure that they delay or even eliminate their capacity to produce the unit that could win them the game. There's a surprising amount of strategy in random monobattles that make it a fun to watch format, albeit utterly unsuitable for competitive play.

One pro-team has already signed up and another (Quantic) has shown interest. - If you represent a known team that wants to participate, feel free to contact me with your line-up via PM. Once I've chosen the teams I'll let them all know and we can setup a date and time to get this done.

Trash talk should be encouraged, nay required, to simulate the real battle.net monobattle experience.

I expect an hours of ruthless cannon rushing.

Haha this sounds awesome.

Really hope EG does it, although I sort of feel like EGs top players wouldn't be down for this. For somereason I just can't see Idra playing Monobattles. However InControl/Machine/LZGamer/Demu might be down for it.

The casters need to be drunk. And also play a drinking game during it to keep them drunk. And if Day[9] is casting, he needs to get high.

Also if mapmakers are bored make some huge 4 player macro maps and stuff. :D

This reminds me. The casters need to be bat-shit crazy like Day[9] was when he was casting Chill vs. CombatEX!!

Are you and Apollo going to be casting? I like the two of you together, but the guy you quoted is right. Having Day[9] cast with you just seems appropiate seeing as he started the whole monobattle thing.

Edit: Don't necessarily agree with the needing to be drunk/high, but what the hell if you think it's a good idea. I'm sure it would be entertaining either way.

The map should be modified and should remove a few units such as...

warp prism, medivac, mothership, marine, zergling, zealot, roach, stalker, marauder. Any T1 unit or drop ship should be removed.

This has so much potential for fun games, I wonder what the analytical caster is going to talk about.
I also vote casters need to be drunk for this.
