Master tag challenge thread

[~ToRa~]

@Tolean Shotgun barley plays and lost his master tag icon due to inactivity. He hasn't won a single tournament in years and hasnt played in any master tag challenges despite having master tag status for months. Is any of this his fault? No.

I don't doubt Shotgun is one of the best on the server. But is he "the greatest ever," I think not.
"Legendary" status was given to swift and "master" status was given to 8 other players at the start of the series. Shotgun has months and months to challenge swift to obtain Legend status and he never did.
He is welcome to go thru to conventional means of obtaining it like everyone else.

Nerzyman and I are the greatest to ever log onto a war2 server

Hmm Tora... You know better what is happening there. If there is a rule how to obtain the legendary status then everybody should go through it. Looks like i was thinking wrong about how to obtain it. I was thinking its smth given forever due to player's past and present achievements. For sure i am not the one to decide who is the best ever, so everybody must follow the rules if they want to have the icon of the best player/master/grand master or they can just consider themselves best players, but with no icon or let's say without official status.

I will be back soon and dominate the newbie sepi and all of you bitches! When i didnt play for a long time ,he barly beats me 4:3... i shouldnt win a single game, just want to make sure how bad he actually is.
Anyway shotgun is a great player , also Startale is... Sepi cant beat them, doesnt matter what maps hes gonna pick.

Hopefully Server is growing again, had no time to look tho.

Love 90% of you xoxoxo

that makes sense. is/should getting grandmaster be required to challenge legend? like master > grandmaster > legend

was also kind of thinking that legend was swift's honorary tag in recognition of achievements, is it part of the challenge system now? (kind of like how he says master tag was originally just for him and later got appropriated for other stuff haha)

Legend is a little more skewed.

Nobody has ever shown any interest in challenging swift or the legend tag for that matter. If someone really was interested in it I wouldn't be against giving them a way to obtain it.
I do like that idea of master<grandmaster<legend

I dont like fastest, maybe customs, So im waiting

Is this thread still working? I want challenge my buddy Antti)

[~ToRa~]

@Antti_Kiviniemi u accept?

Good choise)
We can play xmarks with streamer. Propose to change hsc bne to xmarks. But its not ladder map. We can also play "The River Kwai". Its pretty intereting duel map.

The problem with Xmark is that on high resources the map is very unbalanced, the left spot is very favored: it has bigger island and shore is closer to center.
On default/low res I would still favor left spot for the late game but it is much more balanced by the fact that you don't get to do the 3 shipyard juggs rush right away.
Making having exposed main base less of a problem.

For casting I think there is an obs version of the map out there but that would mean fixed order which means you would have to roll the dice on who starts left/right. In any case if you record all games with insight it would do the job fine we can always cast the games on stream after they are played if you keep the outcome a secret that way we are still discovering the outcomes "live" ;-).

Il brought over (from vpn) / created the master tag for me exclusively, then burnt fought reluctantly to change that.

Tora gave me legend tag with intention that it was undisputed / exclusive, and quickly changed his stance when his initial intention met criticism / resistance from a few people.

luckily, my heart can only be broken once!
