I'm just looking for a general consensus of who would enjoy having a 'Best Replay Competition' run across a monthly timespan. There would be prizes for the best replays which are based on a certain theme each month. Let me know what you think in this thread,
Well we have had a good response so far! Just a little bit more about the topic, we will need a judging team (of around 3 - 5 people) and two people to be co-casting the top 5 replays of each month. These roles will have to be voluntary, however it will give you valuable experience in running and organising starcraft 2 competitions . On another note, the possible monthly challenge themes could include things like:
-Weirdest wins
-Easiest way to lose
-Rare builds
- Wins while massing only one unit throughout the game (excluding drones/SCV's/probes/ovies).
etc.
I like this idea a lot! Also, given that it'll run over the time-line of a month; it'd be a great to see like a monthly, hour long stream (or VoD) covering the top replays (and ofc the winning replay); which leaves a lot of doors open for you to even incorporate short funny and/or embarrassing replays (similarly to "When Cheese Fails" by Life's A Glitch!
