Some background :
Some catfights amongst the different races in the mGG skype chats (one example posted below)...
[12:45:08 PM] Chase : pig streaming
[12:45:09 PM] Chase : get on it
[12:45:22 PM] Fender : nah watching rossi's stream ^^
[12:45:46 PM] Chase : terran scum
[12:45:49 PM] Chase : gtfo
[12:46:04 PM] Fender : terran4lyf
So we have decided to have some fun, competitive RACE WARS!!
The games happening on :
29 Dec (Sat) 1pm SGT 3pm Qld 4pm Sydney PvZ and TvZ
30 Dec (Sun) 1pm SGT 3pm Qld 4pm Sydney PvT
The following players have been chosen to be race heroes :
ZERG : Chase
TERRAN : Titan
PROTOSS : Probe
The rules are simple :
1. The heroes have to make sure they have minimum 8 players, split into 2 teams of 4 for each matchup.
2. Each team must have a minimum of 2 players from group BSG, PD and M/GM
The teams for each matchup will have a showdown bo7 match.
If any race team is unable to have 8 players, players may be repeated. Otherwise, preferably each sub-team should be unique. Leaders should ensure at least 1 standby for each matchup.
Random players may choose which camp to be part of but may not after confirmation, change their race and team.
You may promote yourself or indicate an interest to your respective race hero or in the thread before or your hero might approach you. Either way, all heroes should submit their team player names for the matchups by
21 Dec (Friday) .
Starting map : (Each leader will veto one map just before the event and the remaining of these 3 maps will be the starting map)
PvZ : GSL Metropolis
ZvT : Narae_Fruitland
PvT : ESV Frigid pass
For the remaining games the complete map pool will be :
GSL Terminus SE (official) v1.1
GSL Metropolis
ESV Frigid Pass
Narae_Fruitland
WCS Ohana
WCS Daybreak
WCS Cloud Kingdom
WCS Entombed Valley
Each map can only be used once for that particular matchup.

Reason: Stream links updated :)
Just an additional note :
If there is a real problem securing a BSG player for your team, you may approach a plat player to take the space.
Random players can also be an invaluable addition to your cause

Updates :
Heroes are still actively considering all lineups and including interested players etc. If you are interested but have yet to contact them, please do so.
Chase has attempted to persuade ben to join the side of the zerg despite being terran.
Muex has yet to join the zergs or the terrans (*hint!!!*)

Reminder for players who have yet to make contact with the heroes but who wants to play to do so by this coming week.
Line up submission by 21 Dec .
Heroes pls post line up for each matchup in this thread when ready. So a minimum of 4 players per matchup (preferably unique unless u are unable to find sufficient players).
Standbys can be listed separately (optional). Players in one matchup can always double up as standbys for the other.
I'm considering a slightly different map pool. So if there are any suggestions for maps outside of the wcs/ladder map pool, please pm me or suggest in here for consideration

Paranormal had also pointed me to the maps by Narae. After checking them out, we thought Narae_Fruitland looks pretty good (pretty map + gameplay wise). Check it out :P

From what I've gathered so far (subject to change):
TvZ: Elltrain, Muex, Fender, Reaver
TvP: Stealth, Paranormal, Nihc, Titan
Either: Liquid, Kopi
Undecided: Spirit
The mighty terrans have shown up in force!
I think some people were unsure whether they could make it but I put them down for completeness anyway. If we end up with more than 8 I think we'll need to flip coins.

Ok one of the FAQ : What is the map pool?
I didn't want to use the standard wcs maps + gsl metropolis map pool so here we go :
Starting map : (Each leader will veto one map just before the event and the remaining of these 3 maps will be the starting map)
GSL Metropolis
ESV Frigid Pass
Narae_Fruitland
For the remaining games the complete map pool will be :
GSL Terminus SE (official) v1.1
GSL Metropolis
ESV Frigid Pass
Narae_Fruitland
WCS Ohana
WCS Daybreak
WCS Cloud Kingdom
WCS Entombed Valley
Each map can only be used once for that particular matchup.
Reminder that this is a BO7 and there are more than enough maps above as choices.
So now there is more than a week to visit the new maps and revisit some old ones.

After some discussion amongst the leaders, the following has been decided as the starting map for each matchup :
PvZ : GSL Metropolis
ZvT : Narae_Fruitland
PvT : ESV Frigid pass
Each captain was allowed one veto and after they had decided and seen the resulting starting map, they were all given one final chance to change their veto.

Even though the games were close and we saw many strong plays from many of our SGPD players and glazed and chase with their awesome PvZ and ZvT games, wins overall after having the more convincing win score in the PvT games.
Having said that, I feel that everyone are winners and there were many good games. The VODs are available on the caster's twitch accounts mentioned above.
At the end of the last game as part of our celebrations towards mGG's 1st anniversary, a stream chat contest happened. The prize being a HoTS beta key to the first person who enters the chat channel '19 Jan' who doesn't have HoTS beta.
Both Probe and Glazed were the first to enter the channel but the true winner was Paranormal as both Probe and Glazed already possess the beta keys.
Coincidentally, it's also Paranormal's birthday. So it comes doubly sweet for him. Happy sweet 16!
I want to thank Colin, Blackhawk and Alpha for the castings and everyone who watched and supported in one way or another and all the players and standys. I also want to thank the 3 heroes for their dedication to ensure the games do happen I hope everyone had a good time.
Until next time...

This was really fun, and a second one should definitely happen soon!
Thanks for the fun games, the entertainment and the skills that the players showed throughout the Race Wars!
Thanks to Nemesis for organising this tournament up! This wouldn't happen without you!
Also Probe, Titan and Chase, you're really awesome for putting some of your time in organising a team together! Thanks so much!

Shoutout to Paranormal because he turns 16 today; hope you have a good one buddy! That HOTS beta key is a good present innit? :P
Terrans and Zergs... you very good people you.
Props to Zergs for beating us Protosses, Terrans for beating the Zergs.

Reason: Forgot something.
Grats to the Protoss for winning (toss imba), you have already heard me cry 'toss imba' 'toss op' 'nerf toss', so none of that will be mentioned in this post.. oh wait..
Anyways thank you very much Nemesis for organizing (or were you the one who just created the thread? ), and everyone else who did help organize.
Terrans.. we beat ZERG!! We fought back Kerrigan (or some shit, idk how u spell her name), but Toss is still out there with their perma cloack weather changing, Eye shooting laser units that need to be taken down.
Big Thank you to everyone that wished me Happy b'day and that supported the race wars by watching the stream and cheering on the players that were going up to the plate. This definitely was fun.
Colin (The man with all the K PoP), Alpha (The man with all the wise words) and Blackhawk (the 'boring zerg player and awesome caster / streamer :P) thanks a lot for streaming, the game were made even more enjoyable by hearing your sexy voices.
Oh and ty for the beta key.. time to use ma medivac boosters!!
[3:13:22 PM] Zeratul: Z is the worst and the best race
[3:14:31 PM] Chase: Z > Z yus
