What would you guys thing of hosting a starcraft tourney at soem point in time basicly its as follows

- you get 10 to 15 mins to build

- you have 3 lives

- once the timer expires your units get transported to the battlefield two players at a time with roatating battles so you always fight some one different


comments and concerns? i personnaly think it would be very fun!

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

10-15 minutes doing nothing but building a base melee/impossible style? Boring. Especially if then you're not even the player fighting.

Woah

To clarify (because I don't think the OP explains it very well), the tournament would be based on the Starcraft Tournament Brood War X map (or whatever it's called). You have that time to build your army, then when the timer is up a trigger kicks in that takes ever player's army and moves it to a holding area. Then one by one each player fights one another with only the units they built/the units that survive each round.

As Dev said, that map already exists. So basically you're just looking for people to play it with since b.net is a ghost town now?

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
