Matcherino allows viewers and streamers to interact more freely by giving them a platform to organize matches, subbattles, and other events on the fly. Matcherino lets viewers crowdfund the prize pool of matches between their favorite players and participate in games with streamers, and helps streamers organize the events that their viewers want to see. We’re a startup whose mission is to build things that this community wants, so any feedback is greatly appreciated. Hope you enjoy the matches!

-Matcherino

These guys have created a prettier, more organized version of what we've been doing - Crowdfunding for Starcraft Showmatches, so I was more than happy to help them launch some matches when approached. The only part that matters is as follows:
  • LOTV
  • You can donate $ directly to each match to increase the prize pool by clicking the link below the name
  • ???
  • Profit


Casting will be available on http://twitch.tv/basetradetv

December 2nd

Wednesday, Dec 02 7:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
(T)Bunny vs (P)MaNa Bo7
https://matcherino.com/bounties/starcraft-ii/2/liquid-ma-na-vs-liquid-bunny/1602
COUPON CODE = "manbun"

Wednesday, Dec 02 9:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
(P)MaNa vs (Z)Bly Bo5
https://matcherino.com/bounties/starcraft-ii/2/acer-bly-vs-liquid-ma-na/1609
COUPON CODE = "manably"

Codes will be made available on the day of the match


Lastly, the obvious question is, "Are Matcherino taking a % per donation to create a profit, if so how much actually goes to the players?" This was the first thing I asked when they approached us, and currently 100% of the money will go to the players.

Bet those matches are going to be good.

Sadly they are during work hours, and without work hours I would not be able to have internet. Eh I might crowdfund it though.

GL to the players. (I just watch the VODs i guess)

To be honest, Adept attacks are either rather silly (way too much damage) or are not yet figured out how to deal with them

Well that happens to mee as well against a guy that has a third of my APM but if you focus on ONE strong thing about your race you can always pull off some stuff like that.
Especially with adepts and micro you can really do insane stuff. And if you are not macroing behind it it really doesn't take much skill as well. One thing I always disliked about SC2 compared to BW.

I dunno, didn't see it. But according to Polt adept/blink stalker/immortal is better than straight MMM so maybe it had something to do with that?

I missed that game. Did mana have resonating glaives and guardian shield activated?

My kneejerk opinion is that that sounds weird as fuck. If Gateway+Immortal counters bio, what's the point of Disruptors and HTs countering bio? Blizz is putting themselves in a position where wonky Liberator balance is, like, essential.

Not sure about glaives. Mana did have sentries but Bunny did a pretty good job of taking them out early in engagements.

Still the 3 games I caught were pretty cool. Bunny definitely deserved to lose the last game, his positioning left a lot to be desired at all times, and the engagement he forced through the choke on Ulrena, despite having like 3 tanks, was disgusting.

Might not be talking about the same fight but if you are referring to the big one that happened at the bottom of Purified forge, I remember thinking that it was just incredibly fortunate (if not completely intentional) positioning by mana coupled with some Beautiful forcefields and favorable terrain that won him the fight.

for starters, remember when immortal counts are high enough, and army supplies aren't massive, gateway armies do pretty well vs bio.

For the actual fight, what happened was that bunny had an almost pure marauder squad at the top of his army, away from his medivacs, while mana had all his immortals in that region too. Mana then forcefielded off the rest of bunnies army , where all the marines and medivacs where, and basically was fighting 10-15 marauders with just immortal adept, which is just fantastic for him.

Meanwhile, Mana is doing crazy damage with adept drops, and bunny is chasing a warp-prism with 4 liberators, leaving none to create a defensive position back at home.

Mana pushes through the bottom corrider with blink stalker/adept/immortal, sniping medivacs left and right and forcing bunny to retreat, and then phase shifts his harrasing adept to meet up with his main army in Bunny's base to create a disgustingly taste bio sandwich.

By the time bunny's liberators kill that warp prism and come back to join the fight, it's all but over. Bunny has no army and no economy, and is at half the supply of mana

I lost 0-3 to Bly in a very convincing fashion. He played great games and I didn't stand a chance in this showmatch.

Thanks. I saw the first 4 games of you vs Bunny. You looked pretty great in those. I'm sure you'll get Bly next time.
