Lacik going marine heavy. Didn't turn out vs the previous terrans in the dark with their tank pushes, but we'll see!


2 marine's of Rooyacker's come knocking...


oh the pressure, will Lacik hold?


Lacik holds!


Rooyackers doggedly keeps on the pressure


too much mining time lost I fear


gg

the first aggressive move by Pivackova


is met by ALL scvs, some marines and firebats


preparing another lot to send over the top


to arms! Valisova at the gates


lets fiddle while our backwater post burns


attack cleared and now onwards!


too bad the new mineral field is contested


Valisova delivers the coup de grace

Both rather limited AIs, I suppose, of which Valisova managed to last the longest. Pivackova stalled and went catatonic for too long, which led to the inevitable.

this was a really impressive hold with lings, sunkens and lurkers vs some m&m


imperial lurkers have entered the base!


imperial lurkers have KCCCCCCCCCGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHgg

Devecka moves up very high on my to watch list, zerg needed a champion and she may be it!

IceLab defeats a 4-pool bot with a bunker and goliaths, my bot defeats NUS-Bot with a bunker rush and Martin Pinter wins based on in-game score after the timer expired.

Another game decided by the in-game score after the timer expired.
Igor Lacik decided to build many proxy Command Centers :






The match was won by Igor Lacik due to in-game score.

Jan Pajan(Terran) vs Krasimir Krystev(Terran):

Krasi0 steamrolled Jan Pajan with vultures.

Florian Richoux(Protoss) vs. Dave Churchill(Protoss):

The bot developed by Dave Churchill uses a combat simulator to micro its units.
Florian Richoux could not deal with this micro, and thus lost.

Jan Pajan(Terran) vs. Daniel Blackburn (Zerg):

4 pool zerg rush > standard Terran play

Igor Lacik(Terran) vs. Roman Danielis(Protoss):

Roman Danielis got held up by a neutral building.
This allowed Igor Lacik to build a large Medic/Marine army with siege tank backup.

The M&M also got stuck on the same neutral building, until the bot found a detour.
Despite the large amount of photon cannons, Protoss was overwhelmed by the M&M force.


NUS-Bot(P) vs. Lucia Pivackova(T):

Nus-Bot opens with dragoons/zealot. Superior micro allows it to defeat Lucia Pivackova.

Vojtech Jirsa(T) vs. Maja(T):

Maja opens with an aggresive Bio build.


This shocked Vojtech so much that it dropped out of the game




Jan Pajan(T) vs. Denis Ivancik(Z):

A hero drone almost destroyed the Barracks, but dies before it finished the job.

After over-saturating the Refinery, Jan Pajan attacks with vultures and wins.

[b]Matej Kravjar(Z) vs. Florian Richoux(P):

Matej Kravjar opens with a zerg rush, but the Hero probe distracts the zerlings.


This allows Florian Richoux to build up a Zealot/DT army that crushes Matej Kravjar

Where are 2 of the 4 starting SCVs going?


Proxy rax on a 2 player map!


The pressure is on-


- and rising -


and done.

Slightly above the protoss base there are 2 dots on the minimap: 2 bunkers. Can you read the text on the last screenshot? Dev mode hasn't been disabled, so we can see what LetaBot's 13-0 strategy is all about: Getting 4 marines into 1 bunker, and later 8 into 2. If the bunkers are not under attack, the marines seek out and destroy. Look ma: with only 4 SCV's mining! 2 SCVs out and 4 marines, ultimate pressure before a depot is needed. 13-0 off a 1 rax cheese build, in AI battle only.

Simple, elegant, 13-0. GG LetaBot, good luck with the rest of the tournament!

The bunker rush strategy worked on all the other protoss bots encountered, thus LetaBot also tried it against Tomas Cere.
(Shown here with a weird screen grab of mine)


The Marines attack the Probes:


The zealots try to attack the Marines, but the marines managed to get in the bunker in time



After a bit of back and forth, the Marines destroy the Nexus



But I didn't have enough time to program the marines to finish the game, hence LetaBot is building Wraiths to scout and attack the remaining buildings.



They eventually find the building and destroy it, resulting in the following victory screen:



And now LetaBot is the only bot in the tournament that still has a 100% winrate

Expand, capture enemy choke.


Provide high ground vision.


Coordinate perfect mech/infantry assault.


Map out the high ground, don't expose scouts too much.


Base destroyed. Have a look at the minimap.


Brand spanking new base with turret.


The observer doesn't show it, but SCVs being redistributed.


SCVs are now long-distance mining.

Notice in the right corner the penalty box. If more than 320 frames take longer than 55 milliseconds to execute, ICELab will be judged to have lost the match. There may be a building floating around somewhere, we can't see. The one thing in this game that proves ICELab is still a bot, is that it mines out the map rather than scout somewhere it hasn't already. Lets hope the timer of 90 real life minutes runs out before ICELab gets disqualified.

The timer ran out before ICELab had time to make too many excess operations errors and won. GG!
