It's a great idea for iNcontroL to be the next foreigner to do this. He's an excellent player and a great guy, and I'm excited to hear how members do against him. I don't have any suggestions for handicaps, as I think some pretty good ones have been offered already. Good luck to everyone involved.

Handicap submission:

Shared Pain
Every time the hero destroys an enemy town hall, he must destroy one of his own unless he infested it.
Wanderlords
Overlords controlled by the hero must be patrolling between two spots (about a screen width apart or more) at all times.
(Un)Lucky 7
The hero must open with a 7 pool build.
Mass Evolution
When researching evolution chamber upgrades, all three upgrades need to be researched together.

Handicap ideas:

Perma doom drop: All of the players overlords must be together throughout the match. If a set of overlords are not together one or both must move towards the other immediately.
Starcraft 2: Use 1hatch queen, you can't make anything but zerglings/drones before a queen has been spawned.
Underlords: You can’t upgrade your overlords.
Tricky: You can’t stack your mutas, use moving shot, hold lurker, dronedrills or glitch units through buildings/minerals. Furthermore your opponent is allowed to use allied mines or any other glitch.
Get low: Your air units now act as ground units, which means that air units (including overlords) can’t fly over cliffs and must use ramps and whatnot like ground units.
Devotion: When a hydra den exists you can only build ground units (no ovies), when a spire exists you can only build air units. You must have one of the buildings to build anything but zerglings/drones.
Unsafe ovies: Your overlords must be atleast 1screens distance outside of your base(s) and over walkable terrain at all times.
F91: You cannot build your spawning pool at 4,5,9,10,11,12 or 13 population. Additionally you cannot build hatcheries at 9,10,11,12 and 13 population.
Irreversible: When you have made combat units from a hatchery it wont be able to produce drones ever again..
Single use: You cannot unburrow units.
Gassibalism: Defilers can only consume gas units (But not hydras, this ofcourse negates the handicap in the OP)
No morphing: Hydras -> Lurkers and Muta -> Guardian/devourer not allowed.
October: Get 24 lings before lair
Great macro: Hatcheries can only spawn units when 3 larvae are present. (Easy mode: this kicks in at 9 supply.)
Ultimate Gamer: Play your opponent on a map of his choice, this includes UMS maps, and any pro circuit map. Atleast no self-made, rigged, ridiculously imbalanced maps.

Edit: Map nomination: Geometry

Yay for Incontrol!

I suggest No Hive Tech, as Hive units and tech are extremely imba. I feel as if you can get by without it in all three matchups. Also suggest offracing. It'd be fun to see Inc offrace against someone of a C rank level.

Handicap:
1) Has to click to make units and buildings, the hotkey letters are not aloud. (Still allowed to make control groups however)

2) Cannot hotkey any buildings

Spawn more overlords: You can only construct an overlord (only one) when your food is maxed. If your maximum supply is less than your current supply, you can build enough so that you are no longer capped, but no more.

This should be fun. How about if Incontrol did team melee but had to create two armies? IE: use terran and zerg.

Handicap ideas.

These might be a little mean.
No more than 12 zerglings can be on the map at any given time. (12 is mainly for early defense)
No hive tech
First 3 hatches must be in main.

Slightly nicer handicaps
Lair units can only be created from lairs. Hive units can only be created from hives.
Only one upgrade per unit allowed. (no ovi speed and carrying etc.)
Max 6 muta groups in TvZ

I hope this will shut up all the haters in Inc's coaching thread. See, he's doing an event for TL absolutely free :p

I might make a new map for the TL submission, or if you are looking for guest commentators I'd apply for that too

. Been doing a lot of commentating on my stream recently.

Handicap suggestions:
1) Supply handicap either based on the opponents supply (own supply not to exceed that of the opponent or even always below that (-10/-20) sfter 10 minutes or so) or by universal standards, i.e. supply not above 150.

2) no upgrades (i.e. fighting upgrades, so 0-0)

3) not allowed to kill the opponents scout (includes static defenses build specifically to serve that purpose)

4) only use numbers 1 to 5 or 6 to 10 or something along those lines (no hotkeys for unit building could be a bit too harsh for zerg?)

5) when lair tech has finished only ensnared units may be attacked!

6) if it is zvt: hive tech may not be researched unless an infested command center is gained.

7) play with your feet
