The next Funday is going to named Funday Cup as we draw to a close for this season.
It will also be on the 4 November, Sunday 1pm SGT due to the various activities ongoing on Sundays. More details will be given closer to the date.
The following players being the gosu funday players have already qualified.
From Funday 1 : South and Maverick (MVP because they did the most kills)
From Funday 2 : Titan, Zeratul, Probe and Tion (coming in 1st and 2nd respectively)
From Funday 3 : Paranormal and Hazard
(some of the above players have also shown to be winners in this event)
I'm going to ask for mGG players to be wildcards (sorry all non mGG members; will invite when it's normal fundays). If I have 4 players, they will automatically qualify for the tournament. If I have more, they will have to do a qualifier to enter this tournament. The qualifier will take place 30 mins before the start of the Funday cup.
*What type of qualifier?*
You'll find out once I know how many mGG members want to be wildcards.
The ultimate winner will be crowned Funday Champion for this season of sc2.
The following units will be removed from each matchup. This is from tallying feedback from at least 15 players.
PvP : Collosus
PvT : Medivacs ; Collosus
PvZ : Infestor; Collosus
TvT : tanks
TvZ : Infestor; tanks
ZvZ : Infestor
(Reminder : unit handicap is optional for the bronze/silver players but compulsory for gold till GM players)
(If a player accidentally makes the unit, he MUST destroy it even if it means wasted resources)

From the shadows I come! I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
if ur looking to remove 1 important unit in each match up for the funday my thoughts would be
pvz: Colo : Roach
PvT: marauder : Colo or Ht (though that one still fills protoss favoured if they can use one of their splash units and terran favoured if they cant use either)
I definetely think that queens and mules need to be left alone. They are basic macro requirements and the entire balance of the game is centralised around them.
ZvP: sentry
ZvT: Terran is actually hard. They have so many varieties of play it's hard to come up with something that could actually hurt them. (i.e. its nearly impossible to really hurt mech or bio plays by taking a single unit). I think I would say vikings. Or maybe turrets/scan/PFs.
ZvZ: Lings. Need to get rid of those ling/ling-bane all ins.
TvP: medivacs and stalkers.
Just changed the date/time back to the original 4 Nov, Sunday, 1pm SGT.
With the numerous activities going on, I think we can't have it any earlier than the original date that I mentioned to u guys immediately after Funday 3.
A reminder for feedback and input from all players on the question :
In each matchup, in your opinion, what is the most irritating or important combat unit (not including workers)?
And mGG members keen to be wildcards please remember to pm me here, in game or via skype by 31 Oct.

Fun facts :
(Lings and Infestor actually tied but I think it's harder to avoid making lings since u need them for banes as well and might accidentally use the lings as combat units without meaning to and ofc u need lings to fend off possible cheese)
(All other units were from the most voted; interesting fact : sentries was voted next important to colo for PvZ)
(Reminder : unit handicap is optional for the bronze/silver players but compulsory for gold till GM players)

What I still need :
I need all qualified players : South, Maverick, Titan, Zeratul, Probe, Tion, Paranormal and Hazard and wild cards : Alpha, Goose, Cookiemonsta, Chase, Fender, Tiger (and anyone else who is interested to respond esp if you did inform me but I left you out)
to confirm
by 31 Oct (Wednesday) so that I can work out the brackets and plan for the qualifiers if necessary.
The qualifiers is most likely to happen on Saturday because Sunday's timing is rather tight for me. Let me know if there are any difficulties.
Many thanks.

You will notice each qualified participant is matched with a wildcard because each wildcard has to prove himself worthy :P
Matching of someone similar to your league level for round 1 is also intentional.
There is slightly more than 6 hours to the event so start strategizing

PS : Any changes to participants etc, please try to notify me asap. Any players who are still keen to join in let me know. If someone pulls out, u are in!
For those who followed the games our winner was mGGProbe and 1st runner up was CookieMonsta.
Thank you for all your participation. And even with removal of some apparently key units, we have seen that it is entirely possible to have strats out there to enable (almost) normal looking games.
I want to also thank Blackhawk for casting and all my volunteer referees who rose to the occasion : glazed, KWis, ilikepie, TidaL and Zephron. All your help is very much appreciated to help make a hectic start so much more manageable.
Also special mention to Paranormal and Stealth who also made it to the semi-finals and most of our GMs being so sporting to have gone random or off raced. Games between Alpha and Titan and later Titan and Cookiemonsta showcased that off races for GMs are still a force not to be underestimated.
Last but not least, I have reminded everyone that there would be a surprise for the winner. Unfortunately I think everyone thought I was just joking even though I said I was perfectly serious about it. Maybe next time believe Nem when she says there will be a surprise ok? :P
