I'm not really expecting this to catch on, but I figure it would be very fun if it ever does.

This is Starcraft Battles, a fun debate thread for fellow TLers to see which between two Starcraft players would win if they ever faced each other, but with a twist! This is heavily inspired by Comicvine Battles.

I think this would be really hard to do seeing as this is using real people, but I want to encourage everyone to use their imagination.

I also want others to think of their own fantasy matches so the rest of us can debate on those .

I will add more information such as rules here later on.

So, let us start with these...

Flash vs iloveoov
-Brood War

-iloveoov starts with 2 Command Centers in Game 2, 4, and 5 (same starting worker count)
-iloveoov is in his prime with full knowledge of modern builds
-iloveoov can not dedicate a full attack before 12 minutes

-iloveoov defeated and retired Bisu and Jaedong in the Ro16 and Ro8 respectively.
-Flash is one game away from breaking iloveoov's win streak record.
-Whoever wins faces Leta in Finals.

I think Oov would beat Flash in that BO5. Starting with 2 CC's is too big of a deal. I'm not an expert on HotS, but I think having some one poke you all game would be pretty damn detrimental. So I would bet on Nerchio.

Oov wouldn't need any silly advantages other than this. In this hypothetical scenario, he'd basically be the same as Fantasy, and Fantasy stomped Flash.

Well played

oov > Flash in this scenario, especially if he starts with 2 CCs.
Innovation > MKP, just because it's Innovation and it's MKP.
Naniwa would have beaten Reach, but Reach flexes at the last second and auto-wins the game.
Nerchio > Flash, but only in this scenario. Any other situation, Flash wins.

Careful with talk like that, or Blizzard's going to swoop in and hire you.

Not sure about the rest, but for the Innovation vs MKP,

I'm definitely calling 4-0. Remember what happened to MarineKing vs MVP?

Yay, comments :D I hope people are having fun so far. I thought I made the first few pretty even, but then again, I was absolutely tired.

It's been difficult trying to think of much more creative 1v1 scenarios
