Tomorrow, on 25 AUG 2012 at 10-00 a.m. CEST (12-00 Mocsow time) will be 2x Speed Hack Perversion Tourney: http://defiler.ru/tourney/?t=241
Check-in time is 9-30 a.m. CEST.
The rules are same, as for original tourneys, but game speed will be 2 times faster (same, as when you watching replay in fastest x2 mode). 2x speed mode can be set by patching iccup maps with special things (so participants only need to host this maps in UMS mode).
This is a pilot stream, so I'm very sorry for non-Russian speaking audience - only Russian-speaking participants are allowed (but English viewers are welcome). And online stream will be commented by reps)Anophele (aka Tripleksogolik) in Russian language. We plan to fix this in future, so English speaking participants will be allowed too (also maybe we will try to make English comments), but not for tomorrow.
What we plan to do for English viewers for tomorrow:
1) English comments are allowed on twitch.tv's chat, and they will be answered.
2) English comments on this thread on TL - will be answered too
I'm not sure, that I will answer all comments in time, but I will do my best. If your comment on twitch.tv is not answered during 5-10 minutes - please post it here on TL.
Of course, if you have any questions, opinions or ideas about rules, registration of English participants in future etc - you are welcome to ask them in comments to this thread.
When we will create some really epic VODs with this cpu (and also when I will add Zerg and Terran CPU) - I will post this on TL (and will announce all next Crazy CPU streams in that thread). Also we plan to do "Crazy CPU Tourney" in future.

This reminded me of that special challenge map on Plants vs Zombies where everything is twice as fast. It took me so many tries (and some crazy APM) to beat it.

No any patches to BW engine. Just some modification of iccup maps (P15 scarab in them). For launch these maps in 2x speed you only need to host these maps in UMS mode.

I understand you - executables from Russians are lethal But my exe is only 7-zip archive, which contain UMS maps, so you only need to unzip it, copy all maps to "starcraft/maps/broodwar/..." folder and then host them im UMS mode. Exe created only for those, who dont have or dont want (or cannot) to install latest 7-zip (or winrar) archiver.
