EDIT: I'll have an obs version for Efreet tomorrow afternoon btw. Version 2.1 in the thread is probably going to be the last one, so feel free to practice on it if you like. Takes 2 depots and a rax to wallin in the mains, and 1 depot 1 rax to wallin at the naturals as T. As P, you can make a "perfect wallin" PvZ at the natural, with only 1 matrix space to go out and in. This can be widened later by destroying the power generators. | ||

You seem to be playing more often recently - is there a reason for this increased activity? -deL I hadn't played in a long time, and i came back to play in TSL. Then the Aus SOO event was on, and QLD (Queensland, the state Peter lives in here -deL) weren't doing so well, so i had to help out my fellow Queenslanders! Beyond that i don't intend to become active again, maybe just play a game here and there for fun. -Leg Do you expect it to continue or are you still playing just off the excitement of the TSL? -deL Probably die off. Pending sc2. -Leg How do you predict you will do in this event? How many wins will you get? -deL I expect a perfect record up until they take my shuttles away from me. I have no idea, its the luck of the draw which disadvantage i get taken away early, and vs which race i then come up against. Later matches will probably be very challenging. -Leg Are there any handicaps that stand out for you as being very difficult or interesting? -deL Each individually seems fine, theres always other builds that you can do to overcome the disadvantage. But with the compounding of handicaps, thats when it becomes tough. For example, no zealots and no carriers isn't so bad. But no zealots and double upgrade buildings (or no goon range)? Now that becomes tough. -Leg Are there any D to C players you are really hoping sign up so that you can play against them? Who and why? -deL Not really. Maybe those who didn't play in TSL or other events, as it might get them more involved in the sc community. I'm happy playing anyone, regardless of skill. -Leg Who would you really like to see participate in TL-Arena after you? -deL Lim Yo Hwan. -Leg | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Sotanath] + [AU][T] Sotanath will be the first player to face Legionnaire in this event. Some people might recognise your name from being one of the players to face NaDa in Sydney - how did you get so lucky? Will this experience help you? -deL Turning up does wonders for your chances; all the capable Sydney players had holiday/work commitments so I got a lucky break. The experience was great but only furthers the intimidation factor of playing an ex-progamer like Leg. -Sotanath How confident are you on Tau Cross, and do you have any special builds planned or any handicaps that you would especially find useful? -deL I’m going to have to go into the archives and find a better/cheesier way to play this map because my past record against D+/C- tosses has been pretty miserable. I’m really hoping for “For Aiur” as that could be both crippling and humorous. -Sotanath You're playing arguably the gretest and most well-known Australian player - are you a bit star struck or is he just another opponent? -deL I’m really looking forward to it but will treat him like any other protoss and hope for the best. -Sotanath How many beers will you buy Del when he gets back to Sydney after you got into this event? -deL Well that makes it the 2nd event in which I’ve got to play a progamer all thanks to Del so I’ll be sure to shout him a middy. -Sotanath + Show Spoiler [Grobyc] + [CA][P] Grobyc is a Protoss reserve player and maker of the map Efreet Your map is leading in the polls - can you give the public more reason to keep supporting it for use in the event? -deL I'm glad to see that ^^. The poll was up before I updated it and made some changes to increase balance and playability, so I'm hoping it will become even more popular now. Please keep voting! -Grobyc What kind of play or strategies did you expect to be utilised when you designed the map? Can you give players on it any tips? -deL Initially, when I designed it I had intended on a focus around standard play, but with opportunities to take risks and maintain an economic lead over your opponent. This can be noticed by destructible buildings and by having multiple choices for a third expansion for example. Since Leg will have handicaps, I can see him trying to take risks here to keep a lead, so keep that in mind. -Grobyc If you get the chance to play, do you have any special tactics planned and what handicap would you want? -deL Cheesing has never been my thing, so I plan on playing rather straight up regardless, but I will definitely try to capitalize on his handicaps. I think it would be fun to see how he improvises with No Overlay, Power Outage, and/or for Auir!. -Grobyc | ||

Not that I have a problem with it, but I don't see Leg preparing crafty builds for each map, this is only going to benefit the challengers. | ||

Isn't that a good thing? In fact, isn't it the whole point of handicaps? Also I am pretty sure known what MU is on the map will help him think of something fun to do with the handicap once he knows it. | ||
