hmm.. joekim told me i can't ally him, but i got this PM:
Hello Mutalisk,
You are receiving this PM as an invite to a small private tournament. It will be the third (3rd) LRM) island tournament. It is more exclusive and a 2v2 island tournament. There will be a maximum of 8 teams, but if you are receiving this PM - your ally is up to you. Also, if you are receiving this, you were requested to play by the sponsor specifically. The thread will be made late tomorrow or Saturday during the 4th day of ISL2.
Sincerely,
LRM)Game
i know Game and i don't get along, but does this PM mean i am invited and allowed to play? if not, i understand and gl hf to the 2v2ers in this tour.
I was under the impression that Mutalisk was ex: LRM)Six due to Belladona laddering with you/him. I'm actually quite surprised that Belladona played an entire season with you in hindsight. Regardless, that invite was intended for Six.

well...with that said

hi.

I like when threads are created early because then there is no excuse to getting the best possible players to play. Also, more hype for the tournament!!!

"Why am I looking forward to this 2v2 Island tournament, besides the epic teamwork?" -or- "General Island Map Advice From Avid Fanboy!"
Zerg-Wise
*Epic ZvZ games without Zerglings.
*Slow Zergling drop cheese into base trade xD. Probably on Hunters Islands. Hell, lurker drop too, why not?
*Possibly viable Dual Lair Hydra/Lurker/Ling drops. Cheesy, but Island Maps are cheesy xD.
*Slow Drop Expand into double expoing for Zergs to catch up macro-wise.
*Scourge Sniping/Containing
*Seeing players make 4-6 Scourges at the beginning to prevent first expansion/or first drop rush.
*Watching Queens ensnare stacked Wraiths and then being used to ensnare M&M follow up. If I'm really lucky I will see them parasite Dropships/Shuttles to be used as map hack for incoming drops. Also, any other epic uses of Queens.
*Sniping Terran expoes with Queen's Infest CC ability.
*Seeing burrowed Hydralisks surpise incoming drops and intercept them.
*Seeing Zergs upgrade Zergling speed to be able to keep up with Dropship and Shuttle harassing. Since burrow would already be upgraded for "surprise Hydralisks", then drones could be burrowed when mineral line is harassed.
*Creep pushing to make expoing and safeguarding expoes easier.
 Dual Zerg teams, I have changed my mind, so vs ZT teams we can see epic 1 Island hive play into Guardians/Devourers. Not viable against ZP team imho. (Dual Zerg team will have air dominance so one can make one island Hive tech.) *Crosses fingers that Viciado/Belladona play Z/Z team vs Z/T teams. Whereas Zergs generally have huge disadvantage on island maps 1v1, maybe 2v2 will be different from the before mentioned reasons. I imagine in ZZ v ZT on islands, a few mutalisks would be made by the player teching to hive to help win the other ZvZ air battle, before he techs all the way to hive. If an enemy Terran is gay and goes Valkyries, the Devourers will be able to fight the Valkyries, imho.
*Multiple Nydus Canal Uses; such as offensive Nydus Canals in enemy's base,or several defensive Nydus Canals. Maybe with Dark Swarm follow up xD.
*Plague use and Dark Swarm useage vs. Capital Ships.
*Seeing players make a Sunken Colony or Spore Colonies early game to fend off Zealot/Vulture/Corsair rushes/drops.
*Possible Hydra/Scourge play like Nb.Karate demonstrated in the first Island Map Tournament.
In hindsight, I predict Zergs will have a hard time in Z/T Z/P teams, but a more more doable time in dual Zerg teams vs. Z/T teams. 2v2 Island Map Zerg play will be different because a dual Zerg team can have one Zerg make Hive tech for Guardians/Devourers, imo. My argument would be wrong if the Z/T team's Terran went Wraith/Valkryie though of course xD. In conclusion, in dual Zerg teams, I see Zerg 2v2er players having an advantage here  .

sas.Sziky + Nb.Karate added o.O. Nb.Karate can race-pick Terran if vs ZP o.O.

If Joe wants to ally you he can

Given that Sziky informed me that he can't play on this date, and this is indeed the third LRM) $75 island tournament, LRM)Pike and LRM)Choosy have replaced Sziky/Karate.
P.S
Karate, you still can play in the tournament if you can confirm an ally before the end of Saturday. Just let me know.
|
I am almost sure Joekim will ally Nb.Karate, but Joekim will have to confirm it I guess. I think they have just as much chance to win the thing as anyone.

I'd like to second that. I'll try to catch as many games as I can before my flight.
