None of them count, I believe. Scourge suicide, so I don't think it counts as a death, canceled eggs definitely don't count, and morphing units aren't included in the triggers. Not sure, though.

What if it was flash, leta, fantasy and skyhigh?

Flash and Fantasy on the same team = terribad. I would choose Iris over skyhigh personally.

If Canata was one of them it would likely draw somehow.

Why would Flash and Fantasy be terrible on a team together? Sorry for noobness.

They wouldn't really be terrible, but I'd shoot myself before watching it. (Both of them can turtle really hard and effectively). Actually, Flash and Fantasy are in the same clan so they would likely make a very good team, but it doesn't seem like it would be entertaining.

It seems like eventuallly this map is going to have to go down one of two paths soon. It either one, can be identical to melee, but imo, perhaps imbalanced because of various tech issues. Or you can make it more like a UMS and solve some of the tech issues. ie having some units start off with their upgrades. Without that, it could come to a point where your constantly being fed units from an off-race that you don't even want/don't help you at all.

I don't see lag ever becoming a problem, or CCMU. CCMU kicks in at around like 1400 objects or something like that I think. Stuff like screenlag/sprite lag would only become an issue in a long game with tons of units. Which I also don't see happening, games would ne very quick imo.

It seems much less workable with multiple races, but zz v zz I actually think would be incredibly unusual on the map. (I played a zvz with pvt earlier, very strange game). I managed to lose 2 games after getting ridiculous advantages, one where I killed every unit, scv, etc. and my opponent just floated and waited for units. Kind of my fault, but still.

This concept sounds interesting. Can we get some replays of games?

Neither Flash nor Fantasy turtle in TvT. Canata used to be infamous for it, but he hasn't played TvT in a while. It'd be more awesome to watch aggressive players on this map, for obvious reasons.

At the very least, this deserves entry into future events that are like the Ironman tournament.

I played a bunch of games on it, and ran into some problems. First off, killing tanks in siege mode when they go to a Zerg or Protoss player makes almost useless tanks, because those tanks can't be moved short of recall.
Second, there needs to be some penalty for massing static defense. I played one P(me)T vs ZP, and my Zerg opponent built several screens of sunken colonies, essentially stalemating our side of the map, as I was psi blocked from the incoming units my ally killed and couldn't build units that could break the sunkens without taking losses that would overrun my ally.

Excluding mass sunkens, games where one team has a Terran and the other doesn't seem to break, as both Zerg and Protoss tend to lose massive quantities of units to the Terran simply to buy time for tech or econ to kick in. This is especially true for PvT, where the Protoss player's ally gets vultures without speed or mines and tanks that can't siege or can't unsiege. The only exception is really good mutalisk harass, which will create a large imbalance on the other side for a while if nothing much has been exchanged yet.

Other thoughts:
There is no real penalty for sending the civilian off to scout right away or repeatedly, as your opponent gets nothing from killing it in the early game. It's like having a map hack.
Playing a PZ vs ZP, the course of the game an overall stronger Zerg army in play than Protoss. The game saw both Protoss players pushed back up their ramps as the number of Zerg units in play kept growing. It was pretty epic, but came fairly close to stalemating. The ensuing micro intense battle involving absurdly large armies was pretty epic, too.
