If you're not familiar with TL attack, by all means watch this:

Simply put, all of the sc2 community has the chance to test their mettle against a progamer, in the hope that they are able to snipe a game of them. Sometimes the progamer may play under a constraint, such as offacing, playing at 50% handicap, doing unorthodox strats such as mothership rushing before nexus.
Essentially anything to put the progamer at a disadvantage for the entertainment of the viewers.

What I was thinking, was that we could host our own TL Attack, of course renamed something like "SEA Showcase" or something like that. We could invite players such as PiG and xGKingLight to play against any of the viewers, simply for the entertainment of the masses.

There could be an opportunity for some prizes for the viewers who play and manage to snipe a game off them.

So come on guys, share your thoughts

I think we had something similar-ish?

I recall PiG playing 2v1 against some lower league players. Don't remember what it was for ...

Still a fun idea.

I think it was Lord Byrnsy's Challenge or something like that. PiG tried to play against 3-4 people at once. Was super funny. Think Tgun tried it too.

Was thinking of something like seeing PiG's terran, or YYJ only allowed to have only 1 rax, 1 factory and 1 port building at any time

System also did a TL Attack-type thing with Benji a while back on his System's Funday show (http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?t=1918).

Always a lot of fun to watch, especially the banter with the pro. So much so that I actually feel the game and handicap are almost irrelevant, the best part is always the chatting.

We had one ages back.

I recall Oxygen being on it, Mezza and Kelly being the hosts, and Soft just about beating him before getting d/cd.

Way back when unstable was casting SEA stuff a lot we had something. I few high lights I remember Moonglade had a match vs a bronze meatex where he couldnt move off creep (and somehow won). Moonglade lost 1 v 2. I remember beating Pinder as well he played at 50% mode. However back then we really didnt have that many star players who where a cut above the rest. Now days we have a lot more fleshed out pool of players to draw on.

Indeed we did have this before.

It wasn't very popular so we stopped doing it. Considering how much the community has grown since then, it might be worthwhile to introduce this again, if there is the demand for it.

Community was small and the talk among the hosts/player wasn't entertaining enough or insightful enough tbh.
