+ [writeup summary for Chapter 2] +

The team games, Monobattles started off eventfully.

Team Unviable and Team Ande Yo were both a player down for their first round. A 3v3 1st round saw Team Ande Yo having a better unit composition (I mean, who chooses Overseers) and with South having dropped out of the game, it should be fine right? WRONG. A well-fed Enak with many blink stalkers and many overseers from IcedTea (making researching cloak useless for the ghosts) overwhelmed the hydras and marauders to claim their first victory.

When Team Terran met Team Ande Yo in battle, Captain Flux warned his players of all the possible cheeses from their opponent. A forge sighted at Halt's base brings alarm but Halt was merely FFEing. I was wondering why everyone had all sorts of detection at Team Ande Yo's bases when I see dt being one of the units that can be made (Crimson). Makes perfect sense then.

Team Terran however, despite their strong early army composition and pushes, fails to take Team Ande Yo out early and the increasing number of void rays and tempests proved too much for them. And so Team Ande Yo took their first victory from this set.

However, the aces for this series is clearly Team Potato who seem most at ease at playing monobattles with apparently a well developed strategy!

Edmond Lam (redemption): #howtoplaymonobattles
Edmond Lam (redemption): we are #1
Edmond Lam (redemption): i think my team knew when to repick
Edmond Lam (redemption): and not to
Edmond Lam (redemption): i was talking to them in call
Edmond Lam (redemption): and working out comps
Edmond Lam (redemption): and we decided who to feed minerals
Edmond Lam (redemption): every game

Watching their replays,in Team Terran vs Team Potato, Pox made under 20 reapers the whole game, had some 9 OCs; Suzy making mass marines off one base? And Dano's many Thors with Schnitzel making some mines.

In another game, Team Ande Yo vs Team Potato, I couldn't figure out what Schnitzel was suppose to make. I eventually deduced it's an air unit but I never did find out what he was suppose to make!

However, clearly their strategy has worked well, securing them a 3-0 victory in this series. Well done!

This coming weekend, we'll have 1v4 and 2v3 sets over 2 time slots. It's a BO7 with the above format. Each player on the team can only be allowed to play twice. So the captains have to choose wisely the players to play for each set. Captains will be submitting the roster for up to the 4th set by latest 1h before start time.

The next weekend, we will have winner vs winner; loser vs loser to decide the positions of 1st - 4th amongst the 4 teams.
