Wow, this is crazy. Needs a fair amount of luck to win this thing, though it should be a lot of fun!

It's scary lol because it's gonna be so hard to win. It's truly a contest fit for a SC2 Beta Key reward.

Neo Abattoir should be played in Melee, not Top vs Bottom. Seems like lots of potential players can easily be dropped due to the unfair map. Siege tanks own neighbors on the map, and it is better to do Melee and have people say "Left" or "Right."

This sounds totally stoking.
Many great ideas for matches etc..
like 4v4 w/ 2 comp allies.. lol.

This seems like a lot of "best of starcraft" matches - where theres a little bit of each, like 1:1, FFA, 4v4 and capture the flag etc.. kinda like celebrating SC and it's different varieties of matches.
I think there was a Team melee match too?

but ya - however, I think some of these matches are going to be based a lot on luck and timing etc - not so much the skill of the players (although that of course will be a factor, as a D player couldn't compete in the same sense as a B player) but like the matches w/ comp allies and capture the flag etc.. is all about timing and tactics.

but ya - all these beta contests seem pimp. I like the hero-contest etc.

gL to everyone competing..
Make sure to get vods recorded plz!

p.s.
there should be a rule in the games w/ comp allies - that you can't bug them out by attacking them w/ a worker and getting the comp-workers to chase urs.. making them basically useless..

Well I think the general idea here is that skill should not necessarily be the deciding factor. If that was the case they'd just host 1v1 tournaments and all the keys would be snatched by the top foreginers. By doing it like this they're trying to give everyone a fair shot at it.

This is going to be hilarious and awesome. I hope there are at least replays or better still, video with commentary! (At least for the later rounds.)

Emphasis mine - that's exactly how I feel about it myself =]

Yes, that's the second point - if we hosted 1v1 tournaments we might as well be like "Hi Ret/IdrA/NonY/IeFnaiJ do you guys need some beta keys?".

Will replays be posted here on TL.net?

I realize that reps must be recorded by all the players, but I wanted to double check that some, if not all of the reps would be posted.

The winner will be just determined semi randomly IMO - it mostly depends on allies, and then ends with an FFA game. But it's still better than a 1v1 tourney that would be dominate by some progamer smurf.

OMFG THIS IS AWESOME I AM EXCITED!

I just hope I don't get some noob team...

Oh and btw, why TWO keys to each winner? I mean so they can give one as a gift or something? I'd rather have 8 people get one but either way this is really cool.

"- A bug which allows your units to remain stacked while moving/attacking"

Is this different from standard muta micro? I'm not an expert in SC/BW bugs...

It's not the same as muta-micro, so don't worry. I think that refers to a bug where you burrow zerg units and then unburrow them in a way that makes them stacked permanently. Hm, either that or the worker-permastack.

Anyway, mutas are safe.

You should make sure that you have it fixed before playing. I know back in the day I was forced to set my computer to some kind of DMZ setting with the old router (I'm a tech fish so this may sound stupid, but the option was called DMZ and basically opened all ports iirc), to play SC.
