SC2 needs more events like that. Just some dicking around. I remember Husky doing a FFA with all the TL guys back in beta. Once in a while it would be great to see more of that. | ||

Last thing anyone wants I think is to plonk the tournament down at a time when none of the big names can play and we end up with Anna Prosser vs Hotbid or something. Actually wait, that's genius, I could PPV the hell out of that. Anyway I'll let you know when I have something and do the proper announcement. I didn't expect it to get as much traction as it did, I guess an amusing sideshow is appealing to people. I'm just excited to see players having to play in an environment that is all about adaptation rather than just preparation. Random monobattles wouldn't be the only way to achieve this - another possibility would be random two-unit restrictions (inspired by the Funday Monday where you were not allowed to build any two units determined by the opposing player), or whatever. Regardless, this sounds like a lot of fun | ||

So I assume the map alredy excludes those units automatically, if that's what you are asking. About queens, i think they may actually be quite good against certain units, specially air. zerg can produce queens just like all races can produce workers - however they don't get any attack. | ||

They're particularly effective if you have another zerg player on your team because monobattles rules prohibit more than 1 queen per hatchery UNLESS your unit is queen, meaning the queen player can spread creep for the other guy as well as spread creep over the map far more rapidly than you'd expect. They're also fairly durable units which does help and they scale pretty well with upgrades. So not exactly like workers, 1 queen per hatchery. Which seems fine production-wise, but I guess can be annoying if you get something like hydras, since you can't spread creep as effectivelly. | ||

Just build an extra hatch for an extra queen to spread creep! C'mon, gotta think like a mono-battler. You'll probably float extra larva anyway for a while so you might as well spread creep instead of inject a couple times. | ||
