It usually is the other way around. Noobs host map, people start play, pros randomly tries it, they like and add more pros.

Now you are saying the top 1% plays it but not noobs?

Most ums has a very stricht way of either completing or mastering it.. Like for excample other desert strike maps has less unit / building options thats used to win games, this is mostly cause only few units is good so its rather doin same build order every game. This DS has alot more strategy options making it ideal for competition

The account names? some of the players have several accounts. If you like desert strike you should give my ds a try.. it will surely take some time for you too learn it at a mediate lvl. Most players used too other ds maps having hard time learning this cause of its complexity compared to other ds maps. theres alot of info in the link i gave up earlier also all the language in the map is in english so make sure to read all the messages than youll learn faster. Theres an info center in the map giving new to mediate players infos about all the building spawn and all the special stuff which is in the map.

Yeah this is an ums map pretty sure that was said in topic top, ofcourse we dont all read text the same way.

I definately know some good players not having sponsorship just playing the "default game" for fun or ranks,

Alot of good chess players dont earn money on playing aswell, that dosent mean chess or the players are not good.

Its only very few SC BW players whos actually earning money on playing. its the interest from the mass of players that makes it possible to earn money on playing this.

I differenciate between noobs and pros this way Pros knows the game, the unit counters, to control units in micro and macro, to have a decent apm. Noobs are newcomers to me they learning all these things bit by bit some players never learn all this. With that said you can imagine id say theres alot of pros in this game where you would say theres only very few if you need to earn money on this to be pro.

Sorry for the unclear explaination of pros and desert strike classic pros. I dont know any players who earn money on playing sc bw playing this Desert strike

this map first version was released 2 years ago, so you cant have been a pro at desert strike classic for 10 years..

Theres other desert strike map maybe youve been pro at those.. but those is very monotopic doin same build order over and over for the same end spawn.. this desert strike classic is far better balanced if you have been pro at other ds theres a small chance that you can learn to be pro at this desert strike too but this as i said is far more complex than other ds.

Hard to call your self a desert strike pro if you dont know all desert strike maps

Desert strike classic is the most played desert strike past half year or more (on us west server)so if your collages donno it they cant really call them selves desert strike pros

Id call my self a desert strike pro cause i know all desert strike maps and im very good at the most played ones.

Desert Strike Classic has around 11-12 years. The fact you took a name from it for your 2 years old map doesn't mean it belongs to you. I'm talking about original Desert Strike Classic - the only one considered competitive for professional DS players so far.
We will give it a try though on one of our daily training sessions and give you a feedback. Please don't call yourself pro though, since your west scene has really nothing in terms of ds competition to our europe scene. I doubt I have even seen any of you on yearly DS Online Championships, mostly korean and european players have been qualified for it.

Im playing on eu server and ds classic hosted on eu server too just not as much mostly dsn 263 and dsnremaster 3,16/3.20 is hosted on eu servers.. theres only one ds called ds classic and thats mine. Theres an early made ds called ds queen final or ds queen beta, at earlier stage this was called ds revolution later on came dsnfinal and after that came dsnfixed... i dont know which of these you call ds classic cause i only know one ds called ds classic and thats mine.

Ive been playing ds now 15 years on and off and your collages prolly know me if they play now and have played past years. Im known by many ds players to be the best ds player. not that i havent lost vs other good players.. some ds maps are not well suited for competition play tho cause the balance lacks in those. one race always beats another if good players.. im up for proving this statement to your collages if they havent learned that by them selves. In my ds its different cause balance and strategy takes more skill of your play to determine the winner meaning all races can win another race if play good enough.

I havent heard about any online ds championship tho can you link me? i tryid making an tournament for ds there wasnt enough players.

your aware im talking about ds for scbw remaster?

original Desert Strike Classic = Desert strike queen final/beta? cause this aint really considered competetative enough to play a championship in that... and i can prove that anytime if you want me too

original Desert Strike Classic = Desert strike night fixed? cause this aint really considered competetative enough to play a championship in that... and i can prove that anytime if you want me too

I would like to know which version of ds excaktly your talking about.

I can surely Call my self ds pro cause i can win Any player you set me up with by playing by this rule if he choose The ds version ill choose our races, if i choose The ds version he choose our races thats a fully fair rule showing The knowledge and skill of Any ds there is and im good with doin both options he or i can choose The version

I'm not sure why you are doubting radley here, he is a three time world champion at Desert Strike Classic so maybe you should show some respect...

By the way, if you are calling your version "Classic" but it is 2 years old and is apparently much different than the older versions, how can you say it is "Classic" when the older versions are true Classics? Shouldn't you call it "Advanced" or "Improved" or "Modern" or something? It seems a bit confusing considering there is already DS Classic and radley is the best player on it...

Even if you ask for some references from his collages, I don't think that they will be able to say much to support you even though a picture says a thousand words and a thousand pictures should say even more.

Im not doubting radleys skill in ds.. How much did he win in hes championships? maybe hes up for a challenge vs me cause most players today consider me to be one of the worlds best if not the world best Ds player.

I called my DS "desert strike classic2020" cause it was released in 2020 based on the most classic ds i played ds queen final/beta realeased more than 15 years ago.. this ds was the first to be popular and my ds ds is based on that with alot of fixes, extras and improvements in balance, several game modes and more. Thats why i called my ds for ds classic2020.. im sure you could say any old ds is a classic i have made my first ds 12 years ago some would say thats the ds classic they know. but the truth is no other ds is called classic.. im wondering why he wont come up with the name on the ds hes three times world champ in..

What im saying is that not all ds is competetative enough to be played in a championship and i can prove it in battle

ill surely be up for a battle against him tho if hes up for the challenge, he could buy an entri ticket to the grandmaster tournament im setting up if he believes hes good enough to win the prize

Exactly, there is no one being pro playing public games, only they arrange games between themselves and play in private game. Do you think Flash trains on public games with random people too? I'm really sorry to say it but I'm getting more and more concerned you are far from knowing anything about professional DS competition...

Well if the best players are hidding no one knows they are there, on us west server Good DS players host public games so its always possible to meet the good DS players there. Maybe you can help me getting in contact with your colleges or good ds players ill be happy too show them my skills. Anyways im hosting a DS World Championship Tournament so now is the time for all good DS players too come out from their hives to win some money and fame.

Im pretty sure Ranked players do Ranked Battles to increase their Rank and practice vs evenly good players. And since DS is a ums map it cant be ranked play. Me and those good players i know is not afraid to show off our skills in the public thats the only competition DS players can get unless they join a DS tournament with money. A DS tournament with money entri price I THINK is way more competetative than you ever joined (I think). As far as i know Flash aint hidding he would be happy to take up a challenge vs any nub public player if money is involved

So far ive found out that radleys DS completely different from my DS and i surely think he would win hes DS as ive never played it. But i would win my DS and other public played DS maps. So its hard to set it up that way.. we could play a battle of both if hes intrested..

Hes DS is not really played by any players but seems accepted here by a few players

My DS is played by alot of players but is not really accepted by some players here

i would still like to try hes DS but cant find anywhere to download it.

Im having a Tournament open for players to join it with 45 dollar(soon 50) prize pool so far im hoping we could get to the 100dollar but dosent look like it.. Radley is more than welcome to join hes first DS Tournament with a money prize pool. The best DS player will be found in this Tournament.. so when Radley calls him self a DS pro, he should join this tournament, too show off hes skills

edit:
Ive now searched the web for the DS manual version radley was speaking off.. only map i found was desert strike vqueen manual ftw.. and this map cant be played 1v1 its alot like builder and fighter so all this post trollin on me is garbage.

My new DS can also be played like builder and fighter in case you want such fights pretty apm heavy on the fighter side but also puts some demands on the builders side.

Just to clarify for those who got confused over all that weird posting about a secret DS its now been revealed

Any of you guys tryid my DS other than @minerals? Minerals definately had a hard time doin good in this ds so he claimed it to be a braindead strategy game. Tho many other players including good melee and fastest players says this is intensive strategy on an decently high level

There are a lot of great UMS maps. Many would make for fun spectator experiences. There’s no point in making fun of them for not being Melee. Each one is what it is. I have fond memories of playing Evolves, Desert Strike, and especially Nexus Destroyers. I’d watch tournament matches between skilled players.

Version control is a problem, as this thread illustrates.

Honestly it’s pretty cool that someone is dedicated enough to create/update UMS maps and put some pocket money on the line to encourage people to try it out and play to win.

I’m not really there for all the obscure, technical trash talking, but some well-organized UMS play at a competitive level could be lots of fun for viewers.

Edit: Funny story. I once made a version of Evolves (called Djevolves, and yes it’s the greatest thing.) My buddy and I played all the time. Obviously we mostly won, since we knew the ins and outs, but it was a fair map. My buddy created a Wikipedia article on Evolves (which no longer exists) and wrote that “two notable Evolves players are [my buddy] and Djabanete.” He didn’t mention that we mainly played my version. Anyway, a week later the leader of an Evolves clan messages me and throws down the gauntlet. I got wrecked, but we ended up becoming friends, and I learned some tricks in regular Evolves from him. :D
May the BeSt man win.

there is alot of fun in playing for the matter of competing in melee or ums maps it dosent really matter if its ums or melee if the skillset and balance is there than they more than good for competition.

Older DS map was very limited with different bugs cannot create more units or unit unplaceable which aint really good when the point in the map is to add more and more units.. another thing about older DS was that they where known to be played without much speed skill some said they could play ds while they eat or with one hand. The balance in older DS maps also known to be issued. Evolves maps is somewhat similar like fighting with a masser reaching same limit obstacles as ds maps have reached. Im not sure but when i played evolves i feelt like there was some levels just alot better than others-- these levels you needed to stack up units-- and such is what i dont see as fully balanced.. like such moves dosent have counters. that said evolves is still a fun map to play and you also need skill to win evolves maps (i remember reaching map max at level 1 cause no one wanted to make the first attack)

Btw @djabanete sounds like you had a great time playing which is the best point of the maps melee or whatever other maps

But today with this DS Classic2021 the skillsets speeds have increased alot(like alot compared to other ds maps). the balance perfected(all race can actually win) and the map max bugs have been eliminated(cannot create more units or units unplaceable)

some players like to talk bad about stuff they dont know and have knowledge off we all different its a free world.
