The best BGH player on earth couldn't take a C+ PGT rank on his own maps (guy could probably use one hand at that). Entertaining, maybe, but pointless.

Are you new?

what is 6v7 version?

It's a rigged BGH where one of the players spawn at start location 6 (bottom middle) and the other spawn at location 7 (bottom left). Or at least thats how I interpret what I heard about it.

Personaly I'd assume the 6 possition would have a slight advantage to 7 possition. And also I think locking it like that is kinda cheating. Remove a lot of game elements just to get som instant action. And position 6 would probably have an easier task to sneak a worker out to expand since 7 position must pass 6 position exit to get to the rest of the map.

Good thing they are not gonna play the rigged one. Should be more intressting this way.

kOOlam:
Normally I don’t get nervous, I wasn’t nervous when I played nada so I think I will not get nervous when I play vs testie. It’s a little showmatch just for fun and not wcg final^^ but I got a lot of respect towards testies skills.

wtf?!

1. how did he play nada
2. how was he NOT NERVOUS PLAYING AGAINST FCKING NADA AL;SFDJL;AKSJF

For your information, kOOlam played against Nada while kOOlam is still a BGH "newbie" few years ago in some team game. kOOlam team lost 1-3 to nada team.

This is cool if for no other reason than novelty.

I'd like to see how many games koolam can take from Testie. Should be fun.

what the heck! i went 63-0 on WGT ;P

in any case

mYm represent!! BGH HULK SMASH!

I think they need to have a map that starts out as regular hunters, and then suddenly becomes infinite money like 20 minutes into the game

now THATS what we call a balanced match

They won't play on 6vs7 Fixed BGH. They will play on the original BGH on meele. This means there will be 8 possible spawing positions, what decreases the winning chances of kOOlam^^

And Yes, the replays will be released of course

I would have thought that koolam not knowing Testie's race would be an advantage enough.

Ok, so kOOlam = kural, right? But from some comments and RWTs i also gather that he = Q? As in Projekt-Q?

If so, than he has always been one of the most discussed German players. Once even his existence was doubted in the low-community. Same as with Mensrea here. ^^
Since then, many have been praising him as one of the best Germans but he never actually played with other top players and he never played any show matches or nation wars.
However, he once reached PGT A- with the nickname "cvbn" and once again, his fans went apeshit.

Anyway, TL.net obviously has something that Broodwar.de didn't because you guys managed to set up show matches. ^^
