A big problem in Micro Tournament was that some of the battles were obviously imbalanced. I'm talking "A-move and win 100% of the times" imbalanced. With over 200 different battles, I can hardly see how you can make it all fair.
You should try to include some kind of system that keeps track of the win percentage. This way, knowing a battle is imbalanced would be easy, and fixing it would only be a matter of adding or removing units.
I'm not sure how technically feasable that is though. Mafia seems to be doing something similar with setups, each team in a setup having a "setup strength". Maybe ask the creator of that map.

Also, a question: Why 8 players + 6 observers that can join if the players leave? Is it because of your round robin format? Micro Tournament had a single elimination brackets format that would change itself if player left, so that no player would get more than 1 Bye. Though I like the round robin format for having more matches against more opponents, that other format allows more players. Each having advantages, maybe you should make both available? Or how about round robin with 8 players or less and brackets with more than 8?

You make some great points here. To even create 200 battles it would either be the same battles, just larger scale, or just beginning to add in silly unit compositions. I personally would be pleased with battles that are relevant to competitive play. Quality over quantity.

This, I'd be much happier playing the same matchups rather than say try to micro 5 queens against 3 tanks. Maps look nice, look forward to seeing it.

Talk about an ambitious project! I hope this has actual battles seen in competitive play though, not things like 1 reaper vs 1 queen, 1 vulture vs 20 slow zealots, 10 carriers vs 16 void rays, etc.
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]

I would actually like to see this but with nonstandard units. You could create your own units/abilities for this and have great original matchups. For reference the multiplayer from Myth can be a great starting point.

I just feel that with starcraft's mechanics and how fast units die that micro arena wouldn't be too great. That's just opinion of course. Perhaps an idea for a later project wink wink

This seems like it would be amazing to play in, but one question in the arena would pick your units or would they be given by which race you pick to play? Picking units with a small cap would seem like that could be very interesting. But the maps look very nice. I hope it happens

I'd like to help. Selkie.678

TvT creates a lot of interesting micro- one idea I can think of right now are vikings V mass other other units. Also, phoenix V mutas- something like 9 phoenix against a HUGE flock.

The Phoenix v Muta one: That would not be balanced BECAUSE properly micro'd phoenix's will always beat mutas. It doesn't really matter if one side will easily win vs improperly micro'd units, its more that you want to be microing properly so you win.
