Today Terran's most ruthless, Protoss' most honourable, and Zerg's most ferocious warriors were all busy. So, we decided to invite the rest of you along to fight in a massive race war on battle.net.
The rules were simple: groups were formed of a terran, protoss, and zerg player. Each player fought each other in a bo3 on Troy, Zodiac, and LT. At the end of the day, the race which won the most individual games was the winner of the tournament.
RESULTS
Despite have a great early lead, the zerg players fell out of contention as later results poured in. In the end, the match came down to a bo3 between an off-race

Chill, who needed to win a single game, and the upstart ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/Ticon_small.gif)
LazySCV, who had to make it 2-0 to take it for Terran. LazySCV managed to win the series 2-1, but losing the one game ensured protoss would have a better winning %. By virtue of their one less loss, I award the match to Protoss!
Here are a list of comprehensive results:

The second prize was awarded to those members of the winning team who managed a perfect 4-0 in their group. Should such a warrior go undefeated, they would be rewarded with an icon of their choice. Because of the close results, we have decided to award icons to both the flawless Terran and Protoss gamers:

That person would be given an original, one-of-a-kind FakeSteve MS Paint portrait of their greatness.

The game began normally, 6P vs 9T on Zodiac. FakeSteve got his scout into the protoss base and had a peak around.

Nothing seemed to be amiss, so he started his expansion and sent out his troops to see what he could do.

Meanwhile, in a remote corner of the map, proxy tech went up and so did chances of victory.

Not only was templar tech coming, but it would be airborne. A classic build, popularized by the late,

But what is this? A probe so brazen to invade the terran base?

Back at the protoss base, it was an intense struggle as terran troops stormed the ramp. However, the invisible ninjas appeared just in time.

With his concentration diverted, FakeSteve flashed back to his base, only to find a blue hue over his ramp. His troops had been cut off from home.

With the benefit of the shuttle, Jumper]i[ lifted his templars into the Terran main to commence their slaughter.

Despite his best efforts, Steve was unable to get his turrets up in time, and his troops paid the ultimate price.

To add insult to injury, the sole remaining Terran production facility was reduced to a pylon prison.

Which led to a gg.

So, that is the end of TL's racewars... or is it? Rumours have swirled that the confederacy is pointing to a loophole in the rules, claiming that there is no provision for losses to count in the final tally, and that the administration of TeamLiquid is corrupt and favours aliens over their own kind.
Perhaps in the future another day of savagery will be held to determine the TRUE strongest race. PS. Zerg sucks.
Until then,

Chill, why'd you have to offrace?
