The Ribbon Original will bring 16 of the best non-Korean StarCraft:BroodWar gamers through their right's of passage. In doing so, we, the lovers of all things inclusive of the foreign StarCraft:BroodWar scene, will be entertained and perplexed in seeing if these 16 gosu's can play StarCraft. Moreover, we will find out who is truly the manliest StarCraft:BroodWar player, as they attempt to adjust individually to the wilderness that is Vanilla StarCraft with nothing but their minds, and their hands. Upon completion, their tribal ranking will be marked and eternally archived.

Message from the sponsor: "Hey everyone! Continuing my tradition of offbeat tournaments that end up named after me, I thought it'd be fun to take a look back at Starcraft the way it was originally released: broken as all hell and with really "awesome" maps. Technically, we're not doing the original patch 1.00 version, but we're still going back to a time when there were no medics to heal marines, making stim much more painful to use. When hydras couldn't morph, there was no range upgrade for goliaths, and dark templar were campaign only. Indeed, the two units Bisu revolutionized PvZ with are both missing! These changes are going to reward the player best able to adapt to them, as the Ribbon Classic rewarded old-timey strategies. I look forward to see both brilliant, creative play, and hilariously bad ideas that sounded good in theorycraft. Either way, it's sure to be entertaining." - Ribbon

This is back when dragoons sucked right? Anyway, my predictions on balance:

TvZ: T has no medics but Z has no lurkers. Marine/firebat is still shit vs ling/hydra, T will have to mech and that isn't going to work on low money maps. But on the other hand lots of these maps are not tank proof. I still predict Z advantage though.

PvZ: P has no sairs but Z has no lurkers. Without lurkers how are you going to beat a midgame zeal/goon/HT/archon army? I predict P advantage.

TvP: + Show Spoiler +
Balanced because dark templar have been removed

Muta/ling will destroy the hell out of any bio build in TvZ, so Terran can only mech. But fighting Mutas would be insanely difficult because of no range upgrade. Zerg should never lose to Terran in Vanilla

Protoss mid-game army sounds like it would be super strong agianst Zerg, but Protoss also needs to build many cannons to compensate for lack of sufficient anti-air .. Possibly enough to give the Zerg a macro advantage. Protoss does seem like it'd have an advantage in terms of fights though.

Terrans will die to Carriers lol.

Probably right in front of your computer when you posted this. NP though, if you get lost again I don't mind helping you out! <3

Thanks to Game for organizing this! I look forward to it.

A zerg or Protoss is gonna win it.

I used to play vanilla StarCraft for years before I finally got a copy of Brood War. I don't remember those days fondly. Game is so damn imbalanced I'd rather play SC2.
If it's stupid but it works, then it's not stupid* (*Or: You are stupid for losing to it, and gotta git gud)
