how is it more balanced/diverse/dynamic now that robotics units are almost unviable, and you are forced to go HT? that makes no sense ;_:

Robotics are still viable, just less of a 'why choose anything else?' unit mix.

When you activate the key in your battle.net account, you log on to battle.net through the SC2 Beta client and log on using that same battle.net name (your email) and password. From there it asks for a character name - I put the seemingly controversial 'knuffeltje' and then it asks for an identifier, the bit after the full stop, so I put 'aus' to give me the ID 'knuffeltje.aus'

You are forced to go templar WITH robo tech. Templar tech alone will lose to mass roach hydra. Half my games i get templar just for feedback and the rest of my gas is immortal/collosi/upgrades etc...
Before this, while you weren't force to go pure robo tech, it was pretty much better in every aspect compared to templar tech, so there was really no point transitioning over to templar tech when collosi's attack is just a better version of storm anyway.
Either way i dont think it breaks the matchup, just the old playstyle of 2 base 2 robo doesn't rape the crap out of anything zerg can produce on the ground any more.

I'm keen to join if theres room (reserve)
ecifircas.sua
Random
NSW - Sydney
Question though what does the below mean from the rules?
Racepicking is allowed, though it two mutually exclusive racepickers meet the ‘main’ race will be used – that is the race that features in most of their matchups. If all 3 races are represented by a racepicker a present admin will choose their race.
(posted in other thread in case too)

deL - Filthy told me just now that he won't be able to play. Clearly I'm the next featured sign up (THE GUY THAT HAD TLO PLAY ON HIS ACCOUNT LOL).
First reserve is in then?

If you pick races for a specific match up and two people who pick races that can't play each other meet either they organise what matchup to play or if they can't agree they both use the race that features most in their matchups.
e.g. someone plays PvZ, PvP and ZvT
other guy playes TvP TvT and PvZ
If they can't decide a matchup to play between themselves then the top guy would have to go with P and the bottom guy would have to be T. Or they could agree to both Random.
