Most units killed is a really bad way to do it, since that seriously disadvantages zergs.
Can you not think of a less biased way to give away the second key based on a different metric? If you had 1 or 2 zergs and the rest non zerg, the zergs have a far smaller chance of getting most units killed, because all the other races will be able to kill two lots of zerg units.

Something like most workers killed might make more sense, since everyone can kill workers in a more even way than they can kill units as a whole, and it would also mean that people play the game in a different way, since they would potentially be messing about focusing on harassing the enemy economy, which would make people probably more aggressive.

You can kill a lot of general units while being quite defensive, but you can't kill lots of workers while being defensive.


Isn't there an army value killed graph ?

Edit : hohoho 1000th post..... That's a pretty icon :D

I mean the point earlier mentioned, that zerg have a disadvantage for getting a key by "most units killed". I am not sure in how far it will influence the actual result but I think this [b] might [b] be a problem.
Ready to roll out

Quick question for a precision

TL Staff will post in this thread the channel name to go to


It means that the channels will be posted in the topic, not that the op will be updated right?

Sounds great, I already have a beta key but I think this is a good way to distribute more of them. See you all in HOTS

So you want all the FFAs to be terran and toss, with no zergs? Sounds like you want lots of fun FFAs then...

If you are going to award keys based on something during the game other than winning, you should make it somewhat balanced, otherwise people are going to be less inclined to play a particular race, which makes the spectacle less enjoyable.
HOLY CHECK!
