great idea! this sounds like fun to watch.

what happens if shauni loses? he plays the next opponent with the same handicap? it's over?

also, for a handicaps

-expo nexus cannot be on the closest spot
-no shuttle
-no goon range
-2 only on gas
-no scouting probe until X time
4v4 is a battle of who has the better computer.

-never have 3 larva at a hatchery


I guess all zergs lose instantly since we start with 3 larvae

But seriously

Not 3 at a hat? Not even the dong has that kind of macro


actually it wouldnt be THAT hard for a pro if they do a 2hatch build all-in sorta build or something. actually I'd say JD even has a good chance of playing a drawn-out game vs a much weaker player doing this, usually pros intentionally save up larva instead of not having the macro for it.

Nice to see so many subscriptions going :D

Also, people, pleeeease keep in mind that I'm not gonna program any UMS maps for this. With 16 handicaps there are like, and I'm no math genius here, 16^7 possible combinations and I'm not gonna program each combination onto 8 maps, the last of which won't even be known until just before the event.


I'm not saying it would be easy, but it's not an unreasonable amount of work to program a map with an "referee" player slot who is able to turn the handicaps on or off by moving a unit on or off a beacon. That way you'd only have to program one map, not every possible combination (which is 2^16). It would probably still be more work to make and to test than anyone would be willing to do for this, though.

Doing it for 8 different maps would be pretty unreasonable though.

I'd say that's pretty reasonable what Gustav's talking about. Of course this is not a necessity for the first TL Arena. But it would form a good foundation for an orderly event. Anyway, I am not experienced with map editors other than Blizzard's one. Would it be possible to either copy the triggers from one map to another with a certain editor, or copy the terrain to a map with fully functioning triggers? This would reduce the amount of work to primarily a single working map with triggers, one set for each handicap.

Really cool idea, but I can see Shauni (or whoever the contestant happens to be in the following weeks) playing according to reflex and habit and forgetting the occasional restriction once they pile up.

Not only is the UMS concept pretty unfeasible in terms of sheer workload, some of those restrictions can't even be incorporated into triggers.

-build one of every unit before you kill a unit mining
-build an additional nexus next to every expand you take :D
-no shuttles
-every unit used to attack a building must be invisible (mass arbiters :D)

sorry but that last one is just dumb, suicide recall into terrans base, arbiter dies there goes the game because you cant attack. also discourges all pressure and stuff of that effect.(i.e making the game exciting)

Regarding the super-insane handicaps, if you go by FF7 analogy, I believe there were some that were more or less death sentences too. It just might bring about some weird games where the superior player has to make things up as he goes along. Otherwise, what's the fun in having random handicaps?
