8 Grandmaster StarCraft 2 players enter, only 1 leaves. This game starts and ends with some ridiculous gameplay. The mid-late game however... is a very slow.

This game starts off very excitingly, and ends just as amazingly. The mid and late game though... Get a little bit mundane. You might want to skip ahead a little. Enjoy!

Fantastic prisoner's dilemma. All three would do best if they could agree to attack the turtle equally, but given that each is incentivized to cheat, nobody does and they all lose. The prize structure is perfect too, little value to anything but first place but outsize incentive to not be 4th. I bet the turtle saw this way in advance, masterful.

You have to admit though, Garitos outsmarted them all. He could have used his neural to destroy the ships that occasionally attacked him, but he didn't, because he actually wanted those fleets to exist and fight each others until only one remained. Meanwhile TheMusZero could have helped Rodzyn in dealing with Garitos but he chose to backstab the former instead. He underestimated the threat the latter would pose in 1 vs 1 scenario and he paid for that.

@KW-ju2tl 4 жыл бұрын

I don’t think we can blame him for that though, how does he know Rodzyn is actually gonna do what he said instead of attacking him on the spores? For Muszero it is even possible that Rodzyn has already made a deal with Garrito before talking to him by sending messages to Garrito personally

@sechsauge 2 жыл бұрын

That was exactly his obly chance. With units made out of magic alone he can win against one, maybe even two opponents… but never three. So he HAD to wait.

That mod was modified to remove scans for Terran, making it unusable, as infestors became beyond OP. It's also problematic, because it doesn't apply to structures (*cough* Spore crawlers *cough*), DOES apply to free units (e.g. Infested Terrans), and does not apply to the forces of a player that GGed out. In other words, that mod needs a massive overhaul before it can be used again.

@justice4all719 4 жыл бұрын

Without a mod and with a price pool, you can do it, but with real money. It would have the same effect. The goal is to encourage the aggression so someone killing by his own 4 players but getting killed by the turtle while his army is weak will be rewarded more than the turtle who wins the game.
