Glad to see some competitive Zerg AI. Seemed to be the weak race in these competitions previously.

Whoa, the stream went offline. Looked like a crash honestly.

Don't worry, the virtual machines are restarted automatically after every 10 games, so the stream goes offline intentionally for like two minutes.

Well, it's running 24 hours a day, but yeah. We'll release all the replays after the competitive phase ends (approx. 5 days from now). If you want to get notified, follow us on Twitter or join our Facebook group:
* Twitter: twitter.com/sscaitournament
* Facebook: facebook.com/groups/bwapi

Also, after the competitive phase, the bots will play 27/7 uncompetitively during the whole year, so you guys have a nonstop stream to watch ;-)

That is awesome. I really like the different bots with their own styles. I saw a couple which could only do a 1 base zealot build, but there was one game where both bots took it slow and there were carriers, scouts... Another game I even saw a battle cruiser!

Keep watching and keep an eye on some sick Dragoon or Vulture/Marine micro. Or even Carrier micro (I never thought I'd say those two words in one sentence).

I saw Rooijackers get defeated once, but didn't take any screenshots. His proxy building scv didn't build anything, he lost with 1k mins in the bank...
