Straight out % handicaps are pretty boring.

Have you guys seen the episode of the goat show where they play on the Goat Show Arena? (It's a UMS map where they put in a whole bunch of random handicaps that you can enable with dash commands once the game starts. Like lightshow, where it spam pings in random locations in the minimap for the star, making it practically unusable for him. Or zoo, where the noob gets to spawn critters in the star's base.) I laughed about 1000 times over the course of that two hours.

Any chance of getting VODs in torrent form in the future? Watching eleven separate YouTube videos is kind of a pain :\

TL Attack has had a serious decline in quality for this third season. I’ve only watched the first so I don’t know what happened in the second but I can say that this new one disregards everything that made the first season as amazing as it was.

The problem right now is that all of the games feel like work and there is no excitement. Incontrol really isn’t helping with that; in fact, I feel that Incontrol is cancerous to the whole show (at least with his current approach). The way in which he commentates is very unprofessional. Marginalizing the guest players really dulls things down and so do all the completely irrelevant references. I mean, how are telling your viewers about how some person from Dubai would dump any girl who watches the show in any way conducive to its well-being.

I think this stems into the bigger issue of how little professionalism is being put into TL Attack overall. I mean it really doesn’t seem like anyone responsible on the production side of things has any ambition or passion for what is going on to the point where the show has just boiled down to Chill and Incontrol shooting the shit while some player works through a set of games.

I really miss the old format of players fighting with everything they have, often cheesing with whole-hearted effort, trying to claim the prized mousepad at stake as their own, the lobbies full within seconds of creation with players desperate to play a game, and most of all what I miss is the great social chemistry that once was between the starred guest and motivated commentators.

I've never really watched any of the X attack shows (not the original Bnet Attack, nor TL attack), but I think for this point, at least, the blame rests with Blizzard for removing the chat channels from the game...

I personally find iNcontroL to be the best part of TL Attack currently. So far Noony and qxc have both been lackluster in commentating and the ridiculous scrutinizing of the Guest and random comments liven the mood. Due to the real lack of commentating from the Guests thus far I feel that the current mood of the show is forced.

When I think of TL attack I generally think of the Guest commentating his own standard game along with the 2 actual commentators trying to distract him(like pointing out each error or questioning the play of the Guest). When you have the Guest trying to purposely do ridiculous strats and just not talking like at all the whole time it sort of removes the feel of the David v Distracted Goliath the show is supposed to represent.

Shows definitely lack something. I don't know what it is. We either need a more talkative guest or to just wait until people get better than the average players or something. I've read the suggestions and I don't feel they would solve the problem.

I think it's either the guests not talking along with the casters like they're total ballers not having to concentrate whilst squshing some newbies or the fact that the game is so young that the skill gap hasn't widend enough that a show like this can exploit the 'bad but think they're good' players that make the show an entertaining thing to watch. I think Chill and Incontrol are doing a fine job trying to bait the guest with questions and going off on tangents ignoring the game completely (its a nice balnce to have because the show concept screams non-proffionalism) but its a two way street and the guests have to be confident enough in their play to pull off the crazy stuff they can do with their race and still be entertaining to the viewers.


Thanks for letting me play tonight. It was fun to watch thoughout and I think qxc is a pretty funny guy when he starts talking post games but the during game conversation is what people want to see.

Thats all really. Thanks for telling me I have potential (LOL)

I enjoyed both this week and last week, love the Chill + Inc combo. I think Inc's exasperated coach-style comments can actually help this community quite a bit. Feedback vs casters... DUH. More than one overseer...DUH. Seeing someone get owned and then having someone extremely simply say what could have saved them can actually be very beneficial for a lot of people.

One way I think TLA could be improved is by using community maps. The Blizzard maps are boring and we all know them. There are tons of good looking maps in the SC2 map section already. It would be a great way to get even more of the community involved and promote some good, creative melee map making. It would also be an additional thing for the casters and player to talk about, as there is occasional dead air. The map makers could benefit greatly from pro player feedback. Collecting and selecting the maps ahead of time, making sure they are on the server, etc would create extra work for the people producing TLA but I feel it would be worth it and I'm sure there are lots of people here that would be willing to help out.

Okay here is my unasked impression:

I really like Chill and Incontrol, I cought me watching TV with the sound being really low and while listening to the cast, now and then I did actualy watch. The problem I think is that StarCraft II is just too young.

The skill distance between a good player(the TL ATTACKER) and some random noob is just not big enough yet. That means that when trying funny, crazy showtactics it becomes hard to pull them off and often stretch among a long period of time because the first attack did not work, then the "noob" causes some trouble as well, so it becomes a little boring after a while.

I do think that TL Attack coustom maps, could help this temporarly. You could design the maps in such a fashion that you can guarantee faster games and yet still being able to pull of the crazy stategies. But I can really tell, I play Broodwar still, so I only watch SC II

But after all, I liked this tl attack and I think qxc is a funny lad :>

Probably waiting until players get better is the best option. I would hold off the TL: Attack until then. Unless you get the powerhouses like IdrA and stuff in TL:A, it won't be too interesting because these "good, but not retardedly amazing" players can't pull off crazy shit, and the game hasn't developed enough to separate your average Diamond player from a tournament competing player. Obviously, there is a separation, but not enough to make stupid builds work.

If you can get IdrA on, it would be great. It seems that Zerg/Protoss will put on the best TL: Attack because they have so many not-viable compositions. Only Banelings versus Protoss. Mass Queens. 1/2 Base Ultra Rush. Mass Spine Crawler...ect. ect.

Everything Terran has is viable in some way. lol

This show was fine but I really wasn't a fan of incontrol's 1. terran bashing 2. bad comments. Kind of meh although qxc was hilarious at times, despite being way too tryhard with the no-talking during micro
