There are lots on NA. Maybe it would be better to play the games there? Would avoid making rules like how many queens you are allowed etc.
I know for me, and I'm sure there are others, the ping makes it impossible to play on NA. If anyone is able to get permission to get the monobattle maps on SEA, and that's what people want, then I'm sure we could go with that...

Anyway I'm up for a team^^
Yup there is one, but it would get fairly boring playing on the same map every time!
Got you written down as a single player, let me know if you find a team yourself
wouldn't it be better for teams to alternate announcing players' units? (start with the higher ranked team i guess?)
do it during a pause at the start of the game and it doesn't give one team a massive advantage/possible abusive behaviour by 'accidentally' taking 90 seconds to announce their units

i guess i need to learn how to play now...
Static defenses and detectors are allowed (observer, overseer, raven) but may only be used for detection (unless raven or overseer are the chosen unit)
Does this mean you can't use cannons, PF's, spine crawlers offensively? Or can you use them anywhere you want?
Also with the one player must be rule, I assume that means one of the four playing (if you have a fifth sub). Can you choose who that is week by week?
It will be odd playing monobattle with unit choice, we've always just go random race, random unit in the monobattle maps on NA. I guess there is a lot of strategy in picking the right combo of units, might have to practice that.
The last rule says:

Cannon rushing, pf contain and spine pushing is an essential part of any good monobattle strategy.
Each match, someone must be random race, doesn't matter who. You can all go random race if you want and pick your units on the fly. That's generally the way I play.

Hmm... I know Day9 had used spines offensively in monbattles before... I'll say tentative yes from me on that one...

I've never played on the monobattles maps! You could think strategically, or just say whatever first comes into your head and see what happens ^_^
The monobattle maps are really good, if you go banelings, your lings cant attack ever, so you cant accidently use them etc. Good for games with random people or people who don't really understand monobattle, as they can't break the rules.
The other thing one of monobattle maps does is disabled the queens attack, so you can build as many queens as you like and disables the healing of medivacs if you dont pick medivacs. (Some just disable them completely).
Its a shame they never bothered to put them up on SEA.
Although at least here we shouldn't have anything to worry about, just have to make sure to morph transition units instantly (that or burrow the lings / don't build DT's for archons so you cant accidently use them lol)
