Handicap: He MUST go 12 hatch. Should make it quite hard in ZvZ, make it more predictable for Terrans and Protosses (i.e. don't have to scout half the map before putting down the nexus and worst case, having made a forge first) as well as it'll be harder to defend against any cheese.

Of course it's a handicap but I'll agree that it's not a handicap bad enough to be of real entertainment or make it any easier to beat him except if people do some cheesy stuff.

How about no rally points as a handicap?
The Mothership has been altered to be sleeker and more visually appealing, and has been renamed to the Cougarship. The Cougarship will gravitate toward enemy units that have been in play for 18-21 minutes and bring them back to nearest friendly base.

Definitely a fan of no rally points. With hatcheries all over the place, it makes it harder. However, if a hatchery cap is in place, then it's not much use.

Keep in mind that not all handicaps will be picked and he won't even have half of them until the end.

Quite obviously it's going to be randomized and not all of them are going to be used. But if the combo ever arises, then there's not much difference with the handicap.

Problem with many of the handicaps suggested is they look fine alone, but stacking them may turn out to be extremely restrictive. Also as a viewer I would prefer handicaps that encourage creative play, but not to the extent that all they do is completely rule out a couple of strategies, funneling the poor guy into just a single subset of builds, like outlawing or heavily restricting muta/defiler would definitely push him towards an early/midgame allin ling or hydra break, resulting in an outmicroed opponent gg-ing

This is what I keep saying to him.

Do you really think a gamer of his caliber will have any problem beating a D-C gamer without mutas or defiler? The handicaps will only make the games slightly more exciting but it'll most likely end up in Geoff winning, regardless of handicap.

The handicaps stack so he might have no mutas, defilers, sunken colonies and then be capped with the number of hatcheries - that is going to pressure anyone.

Handicaps:

I like the idea of race spesific handicaps, 'cause i dont think inc will have problems not using lurkers in a ZvZ or ZvP against a D,C player.

ZvP: No hydra upgrades(speed, range)
ZvZ: No speed for lings
ZvT: No lurkers

Handicaps:

1) Literal Torture. Muted game sounds, and being forced to listen to this

the entire time. A vent stream could be set up with someone listening in to see if it's playing.

2) Ventrilo harassment, some douche gets on a vent stream with him and lets loose with Rick Rolls, Barrel Roll, Girugamesh, and every other fail meme they can think of.

3) Abortionist forced to cancel every third unit, don't really see how this is monitorable though
