EPTI really enjoy helping other players improving at StarCraft.
Some players already reached a pretty good level of the basics like worker/unit production and avoiding supply blocks.
After that stage they often struggle with army movement or the actual fights.
However those situations are often very hard to practice because they happen rarely in real games if the matchup is not the one you want, the opponent is doing something else or the game ends too early.
That problem triggered the idea to create a solution to practice every situation in a few seconds and repeat the practice as often as you like without wasting time building up to that situation in a normal game.
So let me introduce you to my new BattleSimulator.
MasterReY's BattleSimulator
What is this?
This is a collection of custom maps that let you create any army in a few seconds on maps that you play all the time in your normal games.
How does that work?
+ Show Spoiler [Presentation video from my live stream] +
The maps are normal StarCraft UMS maps.
You just need the mapfiles in your StarCraft maps folder and then you can host the version of the map you want to practice on and ask a friend to join.
Ingame you will find ALL buildings from every race to build any unit or research any tech/upgrade you want for the situation you want to practice.

You can discuss the specific fight you want to practice with your friend.
(i.e. "I'll make a Protoss army with around 150 supply. Please make a tank heavy Terran army with around 120 supply and 2-1 upgrades, then move out on the map.)
All units will automatically spawn in a natural of the map (indicated by the starting position in the map preview picture).
Now you just practice your fight
After the fight you can use a button on the map to kill all remaining units on the map to repeat the fight without having to remake the game.
