I'm DeuceStarcraft, a writer and caster for SCVRush.com.
For those that don't know who I am (which is most of you), I'm a Gold league Zerg on the NA ladder though I've been out of commission for many months due to personal issues and work. So to get back into the swing of things, I've started this series which I call "Deuce Does Europe...Randomly!!" where I go on the EU ladder and start from the very bottom of the Bronze league, and try to work my way up again.
There are, however, two catches to this:
1) I will be playing Random, and not Zerg
2) Every time I play (I will be streaming) there will be a 'condition'. This condition can be a Funday Monday type thing where I can only attack via drops, or Carriers, etc etc etc. Or it can be something more fun, playing in a Darth Vader mask, every time I lose I have to play the next match while listening to Justin Bieber which, lets face it, would crush my very soul. These conditions are all suggested to me by you, the viewer/reader. So if you have any really funny ideas, let me know and I'll put them on the list! Just think "What kind of dumb things can I make Deuce do on his stream"!
The goal of this series is to have some fun, to improve my play, and to give me some insight into the other races to improve my casting as well.
If you have a really funny idea for a condition of play for me to do, I want you to send me a tweet (@DeuceStarcraft), or message me here on TL and let me know! Also come on over to the stream at www.twitch.tv/Deucestarcraft and subscribe so you can see when I'm streaming and what my condition of the will be!
To that end, here is the first video of the series
Deuce Does Europe..Randomly! Sessions #1: If Zerg, only allowed to attack via Nydus Worms
In this episode I tried to use a condition of "If Protoss, ONLY MASS CARRIERS". Unfortunately, every game I played I ended up using Terran! So I guess I've got to make the conditions a little more broad! Of course I'm always open to suggestions so if you have a neat idea for a condition, or a restriction on my play, follow me on Twitter @DeuceStarcraft, and tweet your ideas at me!
In this episode I experimented with a +1 Stim timing attack which was actually fairly effective in the second to last game, and in the last game was less than successful, but allowed my Marines to be much stronger against the incoming attacks.
Definitely my biggest problem is not having a particular build order in mind when I start, so I'm going to begin looking up some builds and practicing them before I stream again.
If you have some cool/fun conditions/restrictions in mind! Please let me know! You can drop me an email at DeuceSC@gmail.com, or follow me on Twitter @DeuceStarcraft!
Just a suggestion to help with your conditions: in order to make them more broad, just apply them across all races. So for your carrier condition, you could say "only mass carriers, mutas or battle cruisers". And for your nydus, you could say only using nydus, medivac drops or warp prism play. Just a suggestion

Yea definitely! I like it I definitely need to have them a bit more generalizable. Thanks a lot!
