Soo pumped up - this is what should be happening more - instead of endless theorycraft, community really getting into it and seeing what really happens with the changes.

I've created a mod that map publishers can use to supply you with more maps for your 2.0.11 balance tournament.

I've extracted the balance changes contained within the new "Alterzim Stronghold TE (2.0.11 Balance v1.1)" map and put them into that mod.

HOW TO USE:

1. Add a dependency to "Patch 2.0.11 v.1.1 Balance" to the map. The dependency need to be at the end of the list.

2. Publish the map.

3. In case I need to update the mod, you need to update the dependency to the mod, too. (Please rant about that @ Blizzard because using the newest version is only possible, if the mod was published with the same account.)

If you have questions, feel free to ask me.

How to test, if it's working properly:
1. Create a game, add an AI and start.
2. Press F12 and check the Oracle's movement speed. If it is "4.0", the mod's data is used. Else, it should display "3.375".

Woop, destiny, kick some ass!

Really good idea by the way, looking forward to potentially more of these? Really like the idea a lot, i think this could have a lot of success!

Will Destiny win? No.

I would even recommend going as far as creating your own balance changes via the custom map editor and host this tournament more regularly. I would watch the shit out of it if the changes are fun(smaller main base, 1 gas per base, less mineral etc...). That could even gave the custom map scene a kick.

Only 2 toss... Destiny might have a chance here.

That´s such a great idea it makes you wonder why they didn´t do it earlier.

Oh, and San is totally gonna get Protoss nerfed. :p

I love the players chosen. A lot of them were really innovative in the game. In fact, all of them were really well known for one thing or another.

Only thing I'd suggest is getting them into some of the casts after they've been knocked out. Even if it's just 1 game hearing the players talk about it would be extremely useful. This kind of tournament has the potential to help massively, might as well do it right. Get opinions and ideas on film.

Regardless, really great idea. I look forward to it.
