Koven/Peavey do you ever plan on getting your match done? I think Koven is inactive or something... he hasn't even said anything in 3 weeks (unless he and matt organized something in the last few days)

Only Del has access to update binary, but if you cannot contact ur opponent by now with REALISTIC attempts then i am happy to issue walk overs if you post here.

Please post who you are waiting for and we can then see if a walk over is due.
If it bleeds, we can kill it.

its sad but i think this may be true. "back in my day" you'd be laughed out of a tournament if you complained about someone playing random.

I guess this isnt back in your day then

Edit, if the player was to announce his race at the start of the game i would have no problem with playing a random player, just don’t want to have to deal with early game poop
The reason people play sc is for fun right? how is it fun if you die or put at a disadvantage within the first 5 minuets due to the opponent playing random?

Hisense_teevee could you announce the times you are free to play/when you plan to be online so I can message ThugztA for your bo1 game.

Sotanath could you announce the times you are free to play/when you plan to be online so the winner of ThugztA/Hisense_teevee can play you, and the winner of that to play myself.

Thanks.

Guys can we please ban protoss from the tournament? I feel that they have an unfair advantage over other players, as you never know what is coming when you play one. It could be DT drop, it could be proxy gates, or it could be 14 nexus! It's just so unfair to play vs protoss, imo protoss players should "man up" and pick a fair race.

Unofficial poll as to whether or not protoss should be allowed:

Just to let people (other admins) know i have my match scheduled with ttSeason (just[rm] iCCup ID) for tomorrow. We have already played 1 game out of the best of 3 yesterday. If X-Torpid reads this be on iCCup tomorrow night and you will be able to play the winner.

Guys, can we please ban Lurgee aka X-ToRpiD from the tournament. If you lose a game against him, he will not let you hear the end of it, and the psychological damage would not be worth the fun of playing in this tournament.

He also plays like a south american. We don't want that in australia.

First of all sorry guys about the tourney slowing down but it is supposed to be pretty laid back because it is during exam and school times and people will be delayed in trying to get their games done. Be patient and just try to get your games done ASAP when it is convenient for you and your opponent. I will still be away for another week or so without internet but when I am back PureKnight, myself and the others will get this competition well underway!

Regarding replays - some I have already uploaded on binarybeast so you can access them there.

Are people forgetting random players lose any early game advantage they may have by having to be competent in all 9 MUs?!

I mean seriously, scout early, play safe and learn more than just one build..

You'd think everyone has become so regimented by build orders they don't know how to actually play BW anymore but rather only execute build orders they've seen pros do.

Massive =/


Sure but that is how the game is played now, people who aren't following these build orders because they have dedicated time and practice to learning and perfecting them will then lose to someone who does pull them off because they lack creativity.

The point is that before the match the random guy knows what his opponent is using so there is no counter-argument of 'the R has to practice all the MUs', he knows his opponent and just has to be confident with all 3 races - he can use it to get an early or late game advantage no doubt and is akin to an unbalanced map in favour of whatever race he has in my eyes. You claim that the non-random player will be using pre-designed pro build orders and so is inflexible but like I said the random player can also be doing something similar and by forcing the non-random to deviate from the build he uses simply by the merit of choosing random he gains in my eyes an advantage. In an idealised example, the R guy learns 3 pro BOs to counter whichever race he gets, the opponent has to use one safe BO, so the R can tailor the build however he wants (based on a normal pro one or not) to be in the lead. Sure the other guy can scout early but that doesn't really even the playing field as I see it.

Also regarding people just memorising builds, sure it would be great if it was still back in the days of boxer and we could be creative and use some fancy micro and win with a generic opening but it's like with any sport once it goes pro - your backyard footy rules aren't going to cut it in a professional era where people can copy pros. and practice for that. If we wanted a tourney for cute moves and tricky cheese we'd use weird maps and make everyone use random.

Not sure if I'm clear here I am in a bit of a rush, but I don't see why you MUST use random - isn't it just as easy to roll a dice or flip a coin to pick a race before the game? I guess I would allow you to just rock up and choose a race before the day if it seems fair to everyone. That way you are keeping your random race, your opponent isn't forced into using a safe BO they just have to practice against all 3 races as does the "R" user (practice using all 3 vs 1 race) and it seems pretty fair to me. Both of you make sacrifices and end up on even terms as far as I can tell. Note that this isn't allowed for everyone, because then it defeats the purpose as people can't practice - just for people who identified themselves as 'random' users. Thoughts?

PureKnight I might tell you my mobile number if you get free texts or something you can update me or we can talk about stuff :3 Cheers.

First of all, thanks for organising this del. It takes effort and time to sustain an event and I think more appreciation is required from the participants.

On the topic of radomness, I will only comment that this is indeed the age of BOs, and IMO not necessarily a good thing for SC.

Evidence? Every day, you see a [H] post on strats forume where someone comes in, posts a replay and asks in the effect of 'what is wrong with my BO how can I adjust to my opponent's BO'. Yes BO is perhaps the easiest thing to change and learn, but BO is just a word and it also depends on all the little tiny bits for it to click. And you'd typically get the same response in the strategy forums: lol work on your macro. IMHO this is totally the wrong approach and let me pull stats out of my arse by claiming, 90% of the time people at a low level lose not because of BOs. And 50% of people using BOs don't have necessarily the ability to execute it as a progamer and expolit the weakness of a countered BO.

This is also evident in your argument in the post above. Basically everything in 4th paragraph is a theory based on the following assumptions:
1. BO loss cannot be overcome
2. Random user knows as much about the MU of single race users in each of their respective matchups (shouldn't them be rewarded for that knowledge then?)
3. People copying pro BOs are as good as the pros themselves (LOL)

I do not believe any of the above is true or proven to be true.

I also acknowledge some matchups vs R can be difficult, eg P vs RZ. But as a T/R I'd just like to say SUCK IT UP PROTOSS USERS
