CricketeR vs Soularion


Stream Link:twitch.tv/thetempiar
That's right everyone. YOLO Showmatch/Grudgematch that isnt really even a Grudgematch incoming between the brilliant, passionate Cricketer and the poetic, young Soularion.

The great battle of pashun and tl writing shall begin on:
Thursday, Feb 05 12:30am GMT (GMT+00:00)




Make sure that you show up to the immensely skill and troll based Bo9 that will be 45 times better than The_Templar and SetGuitarsToKill's Grudgematch.

You may ask, why? You two have little to no relationship or reason of any kind to hold this event. Well I say to thee, we are pretty close in skill and pashun dictates that the fun and silly events such as these preside in priority over the logic of us not playing in the showmatch due to us barely knowing each other.

The map pool will be:

P Cricketer<Nightmare> Soularion Z
T Cricketer <Debris Field> Soularion T
T Cricketer<Ohana> Soularion Z
T Cricketer<Graveside> Soularion T
P Cricketer <Cactus Valley> Soularion T
T Cricketer <Agria Valley> Soularion Z
T Cricketer<Metropolis>Soularion T
P Cricketer <Emerald Plaza> Soularion Z
<Habitation Station>


Soularion chose the first map, and I chose the second and third, he chose the fourth and fifth etc.

With the mixture of silly and legit maps, this is set to be an excellent series filled with multiple strategies and builds that make no sense.

The one question left is the races picked. Whilst I'd prefer Random vs Random its hard to tell what Soularion will do, but from what I can tell, if I get Zerg I win, if he gets Terran he wins. If ZvT, we get a match that puts Life v Maru to shame.

Behold, the great YOLO-match to come. You had better come watch. It will be super pashunate and stuf.

Also The_Templar and SetGuitarsToKill are duocasting this, so expect a lot of criticism for Soularion, and even more "Cricketer pls".

another thing we could do for extra mind games is this random idea i got...its a little confusing and weird but if you are up to it

we both get to play each race 3 times throughout the series no more no less, when we join map, we choose random, then at count of 3 or w/e we then select the race we want, regardless of what the other player picks. that way we dont get screwed by the bullshit RNG of the random system in Starcraft

idk just a thought

RNG is fun though. That sounds annoying to coordinate and not terribly worth it, and you are probably going to get every race at least once so...

That's true too. If you find it too annoying to coordinate, you'd probably know best - I'm fine either way.

Depends too much on races to make a real prediction. I'll say me 5-4 to be confident but it could easily go either way.

Predictions:

I don't know who will be the more creative player, but that one will probably win because the maps are mostly out of the ordinary. I've seen both of them play, and although they are both bad, I seem to recall Cricketer being much less creative so I guess Soularion is favored. However, Cricketer has strategized more on unusual maps, such as Fastest Map Possible, so he could take advantage of a few of these.

Nightmare

This one depends on the race. Cricketer will lose as Zerg, as the map is very unkind towards expanding and he's more comfortable playing greedy. On the other hand, if Soularion gets Zerg, speedlings could be very effective for him with such a wide main ramp and short rush distance (and a long distance between bases). I'm going to guess that PvT favors the Terran player due to the amount of islands.

Cricketer < Soularion


Debris Field

If I recall correctly, Cricketer picked Debris Field, so he'll probably have a plan. While races will again come into it, I think the game will depend on which player is better at using the island map. Nobody is used to this sort of thing though.

Cricketer > Soularion

I don't have anything else interesting to say about the maps. The rest of this prediction is just feel

We'll see, my friend. I would suggest not to be so confident - it'll only lead to disappoint in the future
