Week 3 (3/27-4/2) - Proxy Fast Expand

Each week I will post a challenge to the community - Send me the replays, and I'll cast and compile the best and most interesting replays into a single one hour-ish-long show. The goal of each challenge is to focus on a specific play-style or map (or a combination of the two). These challenges are aimed to help players and viewers understand the current game, and prepare for the future.



Submissions for the week close Mondays at midnight PST.



Right now, I aim to do my casts at noon PST every Tuesday. I'll be casting them to twitch.tv (internet quality pending) and uploading them later onto youtube.



Please submit all replays to alphaferg@gmail.com. Include Challenge of the week or COTW somewhere in the title if you can.



Feel free to join Battle.net Chat Channel "COTW" to find others to play against (mostly for non-ladder map challenges.







Week 4 (4/17-4/23) - 1/1/1 Openings

You get a barracks, factory, and a starport - along with a very wide choice of what to do from there!



Future Challenges

Week 5 (4/24-5/1) - 10 Pool Macro Builds

Use the early queen to your advantage! Spread creep, get more larva, defend yourself, or do a dreaded 1 base queen drop (please don't actually do that.)



Week 6 (5/1-5/7) - 2v2

A serious look at the tenuous balance in high level 2v2 games!









Opening

Week 1 (3/13-3/19) - Probable Season 7 GSL Maps - Daybreak and Metropolis

Play a match on one of the new probable GSL maps to debut in the Season 7 ladder. Search “daybreak” or “metropolis”. "IPLMAP" has the most recent versions from the looks of it.

Week 1.5 - GSL Map Ohana

Because it was added to the Season 7 ladder pool as well.

+ Show Spoiler +



Week 2 (3/20-3/26) - 2 Base Warp Prism Push

Do a 2 base push using a warp prism in some form. Drop in the back with it or use it to reinforce the front... or both!

+ Show Spoiler +



Week 3 (3/27-4/2) - Proxy Fast Expand

Try to take an early base in an unlikely position (i.e. island, an empty main in a 4 player map)

Who I am and why I am doing this show

+ Show Spoiler + I have been casting on and off since November 2010 for the UC Davis Starcraft team, CSL, and several local Central California events. I love Starcraft and eSports, and hope to bring my skills to the greater SC2 community!



I'm looking to focus my casting into a regular show both for my own sanity, and for the community. This show seeks to emulate Day9's Funday Monday, but give it a more applied role into learning and understanding the game - along with preparing for the games to come.
