Introducing the first Random Rules Showmatch - Marine Arena scrims with a twist!


In this format, teams will be presented with certain restrictions on units that they are required to or cannot use. They will then have 2 minutes to discuss strategy before the game starts.

This will be a series of 3 games featuring some of the current top players in MA:
Darkness, HaydenEliza, MicroJackson, MrStabby, Rain, Time, Seering, Sharks*

Teams will be randomized prior to the first game.

The event is currently planned to take place at 5pm EST on Sunday, October 15.*

It will be streamed and casted live by Akash at https://www.twitch.tv/akash_ma.

Comments, questions, concerns? Post below.

Results

----------
*Roster/date subject to change based on player availability - most have confirmed their participation already
*Also, if Ice is available, he will replace sharks

Yay! Do you have an idea of the teams, or is this random as well?

"Teams will be randomized prior to the first game." oO

Yep, random teams - provides the opportunity for last-minute subs if needed. Also, probably more fun this way - tis a battle of quick thinking and instant teamwork!

Participants, please try to be at least logged into battlenet about 10 minutes before the game.
Will make it much easier to set up and start on time <3

Thanks to everyone who played and watched! We had some difficulties in typical MA scrim fashion, and ended up starting about an hour late. There was also a long pause after the first game, so we could only get 2 games in. I am proud of everyone for following the no BM rule, thank you so much for that <3

The first 2 rulesets below are the ones we used. Feel free to use the third one in one of your scrims if you guys want.
Spoiler:
Game 1: Melee
-All players must choose either zergling or zealot to start.
-All players may only switch to a melee merc: crackling, tankling, warp zealot, temple zealot, firebat, devildog, beetle, reaver (players may NOT fight with roaches).
-No air elites allowed.

Game 2: Spellcasters
-On each team, 1 player must open Tassadar and the other must open Infestor.
-If any Tassadar or Infestor is lost, it must be revived throughout the game.

Game 3: Air
-Players may NOT spend ANY money before 10:00 (this guarantees that everyone will have enough for air at 10:00).
-All players must buy an air merc at 10:00.
-All players may only switch to an air merc: mutalisk, scout, voidray, wraith.

Attached are the replays. I did stream and cast the first game as an observer, and streamed my point of view as a player for game 2. I suggest watching the replays rather than the stream if you want to see all the action. If you want the stream, it's saved at twitch.tv/Akash_MA. Links below:
Game 1
Game 2

Teams + Winners:
Spoiler:
Game 1:
Zealous + VinoyThomas
sharks + Rain [win]
White + MrStabby
MicroJackson + b00tyqueen

Game 2:
Akash + Rain [win]
Seering + MicroJackson
sharks + Jpxp
White + SomeDouche

Hopefully this gave people some ideas for other Random Rulesets, and maybe we'll see some cool scrims in the future! Happy MA-ing :D

Sounds like it was a blast. Would love to do the air only one sometime.
