I'm sorry, I think I am misunderstanding - in your version of DS, you need to choose whether you gather resources or make army? And you don't even get to control that army when you make it? Why not let people do all of that at once? Seems like you made it too simple, it's like rock-paper-scissors...


its like DS was made with alot of strategy features. It can be played by lesser good players aswell as beeing enough advanced that good players would just beatdown the lesser good players just like a battle of bgh. If you think its that simple you should join the tour and steal the prize at least getting a third prize for you should be possible like rock paper scissors.
Idk why you disrespect simple but yet complex strategy. I assume your not giving the worlds best chess player any credit cause you could easy beat him like rock paper scissors.

Anyway i now heard proof of that DS radley speaking of, its maybe called DS user control and been told it wasnt really any good was never played by players. So i dont know how much quality there would be in mastering a map that no players play, but now i believe that radley prolly the best player for that map which is a good succes for him ill 100% give him credit for that. Winning a map always played zvz tvt pvp could be a challenge too, but too me is not really balance and supposely not that intresting. My DS is surely different yet still very competetative and is why ive set up this tournament on it.

Ah, after your recent posts it finally got to me. You just trolled us here GGmano. Damn I was so sure you are serious that I got tilted for all that disrespect for ds pros.That was really well played one, you got me. From making map specially to troll us, to talking trash about ds scene and not knowing maps with manual mode. And that creating of tournament with super tilting name - you put a lot of effort. I feel so dumb now, haha. Good one.

Wow now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense. All of those long meandering paragraphs... For every person who read them all, that's basically a full DS game's worth of manhours lost. These online trolls are getting really clever.

wow rofl its not me been trolling you its opposite. youve been trollin me by coming to my post claiming youre a DS pro..You argument this and that about my map and me. I wouldnt call you a DS pro for beeing good at a so rare DS map that no one knows about.. how about you learn to play the DS that everybody else play if you got good at that you can call your self a DS pro.. else you cant really call your self a DS pro for beeing good at a secret DS map.. You havent even send me where to download the map so i can try it.. I can surely send you link to download the DS maps i speak off and i count players beeing good at for DS PROS. I dont disrespect DS pros or SC pros but you cant call your self a DS pro if your not good at an legit DS map

Im pretty sure you neither would call a PRO SC player PRO if hes good at an secret map that no one plays... aint that obvius. If you want i can send you link on where to download all the maps that SC PROS PLAY

You wouldn't call an SC player pro if he's good at the map he himself made, either.

On US East, back in the olden days of Battle.net 1.0, there was a guy named SirViolator who played around 10000 games on a map he himself made and kept editing and changing to give himself places where he can drop a Ghost and use Nukes, where he can drop Siege Tanks, where he hides specific bases, etc. He won a lot of games but is he pro? I don't think so... I'd rather be "pro" at a map that lets you actually control your units in a real time strategy game and not a map I myself made...

right now you comparing me to a guy trying to cheat or rig maps in hes own favour.. well thats not me i can assure you that.. but it seems you guys keeps trying to troll me.. this guy your mentioning maybe was good at a map that only he played.. hes secret map it wasnt never played in public by alot of players.. but you say radleys ds pro? while hes also good at a ds map which is not played by public players its just nonsense who knows who actually made that ds map radleys good at as far as i heard you aint fully controlling the units the units is ordered for each player you just need to use the spells and upgrades on the units... the map wasnt prolly balanced for this in the first place so theres with garanti some stuff which can be abused by players knowing how to abuse it well once again balance is off if every player needs to do same move best possible like if theres something which is not counterable.. than i wouldnt really call it balance or call it genuine for competition like radley did. but again i havent really tryid it so cant fully judge it. It could be an good map but its not possible to get to try it so why bother ask for you to send it as ive asked for this 20 times now without any effect.. thats how trolls act on the net.. i can link you too anything im argumenting on.. it seems you have trouble in doin the same.

Im 1000% sure that if FLASH made BGH than you would still call FLASH SC PRO cause the map he made is legit... and not a secret or imbalanced.

Instead of beeing against a map you havent played you should respect other players skills especialy if they are done on a legit map.. I fully respect that ive seen radley on the gosu league matchlist which makes him more than a good player 100% respect for that, but that dosent make him a DS pro

Why anyone is heckling the OP is beyond me.

If you don't think it's the right version of Desert Strike, don't join the tournament. Problem solved.

May the BeSt man win.

I dont think Radley was ever close to joining the tour so theres never been a problem like that.. but everybody is free to speak their opinions is what forums is good for.. It could also be said that if you dont like reading discussions on forums just dont enter them.

Im giving news and info on the DS tournament this post is about.. as i just found out how much the KRW currency is.. I wanted to let others know the prize pool in KRW, since KRW is the used currency on this site mostly

heres a link for the calculator i use for KRW to USD https://www.x-rates.com/calculator/?from=KRW&to=USD&amount=100000

Anyway instead of beeing negative about my threads and post be positive and constructive.. share youre knowledge if im wrong on something show me opposite instead of just writting "plz stop trolling this forum" where did that come from, you sound so mad and negative about this thread and my posts..

Links is a good way to share knowledge if you ask me

Me beeing happy about hosting a Tournament with 65$ (80000KRW) prize pool is not ok with you @minerals?

Im not allowed to try and spread knowledge about this map ive done?
