UPDATE: We got ourselves a news on ICCUP!

http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/content/news/race_wars.html

thanks Gecko[Xp]!

+ Show Spoiler +

Today, I noticed there were 20 something ppl in the Op Teamliquid channel. Naturally, one thing led to another, and voila, we had some Race Wars. For those of you who don't know what Race Wars is, it's basically, everyone goes random, and then you ally people of the same race. It's mad wicked fun, here is a battle report (from my perspective) of one of the games.

The Contenders

~~Protoss~~ Mantoss (Victory After Victory)

NyM)Pack (Brown)
cobaltblu (White)
elev3n (Orange)

Terran (The Pride of Battle)
+ Show Spoiler +

blau_grana (Teal)
herro_korea (Red)
isuckatlife (Purple)

Zerg (~~Overcome All~~ Roll Over and Die)

Nazza131 (Blue) (Me)
Garreeet (Yellow)

The game starts off. I spawn as Zerg. I decide that since this is FFA and all, people are most likely to rush and stuff. So I decide that I should 9 pool. What I don't know that this is on Killing Fields. Killing Fields is an imbalanced map made by Blizzard, and is 256 x 256 big. In other words, it's FRICKING HUGE. I'm already off to a great start.
(Wiki)

Killing Fields
I meet my one and only Zerg ally. I also scout around and see some T's around. Naturally, I make a proposition:

+ Show Spoiler +
+ Show Spoiler +

The purple terran has two tanks, and a marine attacking his own barracks.
+ Show Spoiler +
Needless to say, the rush works out quite well.
+ Show Spoiler +
Red Terran comes and drives us back.

WAIT WTF IS THAT.
+ Show Spoiler +
CRAP.
+ Show Spoiler +
DOUBLE CRAP.
+ Show Spoiler +

I try to salvage whatever economy I have left. Meanwhile, Brown Protoss ggs out. We leave his robo facility alone so ~~brown can obs~~ use a shuttle and 4 probes to kill 10-20 workers while watching the game.
.
+ Show Spoiler +

White Protoss decides to mass carriers. While we yellow zerg decides to attack protoss, 8 carriers show up.

+ Show Spoiler +
STASIS
+ Show Spoiler +
aftermath
+ Show Spoiler +

After some time, the 2 mantosses decide that it's finally time to kill us off. They push with dragoons, zealots, HTs and Carriers. GG.

(Note, this is not the entire game)

Race Wars are fun, we should play them more often. What about you guys? Post any replays/funny stories here.

I must say, I'm impressed you managed to survive after my cannon rush AND my allies both attacking you.

Edit: you should change "obs" in "so brown protoss can obs" to "use a shuttle and 4 probes to kill 10-20 workers while watching the game"

There were actually 3 racewars played that day, I have the full replays of all of them

Watch for cannon rushing-carrier massing-probe drop harassing-backstabbing fun (yeah, that's right. backstabbing/team realignment in a racewar)

I definitely think this should become a regular op teamliquid thing

edit: the last 2 images in OP don't load for me?

Sounds a lot of fun !

At what time do you guys play ? American evening ?

Usually when we play race wars, we only put 6 players in, which has two big advantages
- More balanced teams (if 2P 2T 2Z, we only have 2 players teams, if 3T, 1P, 2Z P and Z ally up and we play TTT vs ZZP)
- We take a lot longer to reach the map limit. With 8 players and a huge map, everyone gets a lot of units, and after a while you can't make units anymore, BW says "cannot make units, map limit reached" which basically screws the game.

The teamliquid channel is never so full whenever I'm on.

I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

I'll continue where Nazza left off.

Yellow and Blue stage a huge attack against my remaining Protoss ally. I didn't think we could survive with our combination of 8 carriers and the storms that orange's army was packing.
+ Show Spoiler +

After a prolonged battle and a sweet stasis Protoss manages to emerge victorious and took surprisingly few casualties.
+ Show Spoiler +

With this victory behind the carriers leave with an escort of corsairs to cause some destruction.
+ Show Spoiler +

but Yellow Zerg is back at it, pressuring Orange's expos with another large Hydralisk force. I bring my carriers back from razing the Terran bases to fry some zerg.
+ Show Spoiler +

With the Zergs dead Terran's last hope lies in a group of cloaked wraiths sniping the obs and taking out as many carriers as possible.
+ Show Spoiler +

Paper planes.
+ Show Spoiler +

We actually played these games today but we were hoping we could get together and do some race wars or something goofy on Wednesdays. It was a lot of fun today.

I definitely would. This was in the morning for me in Australia though. I could probably play around midnight PST though (that's 7pm for me).

Around 1700 KST[local]

EDIT: It would be super cool if it had the TL logo in the middle lol.

I'd definitely join in this, Race Wars are amazing.

Orbital Death is probably my favorite map for this. Constant action all over the place.. the bigger the map is, the worse the game is cause it just gets dull over time.

Brown cannon rushed blue and then killed half my drones with 4 probes. ;_; Typical tosses.
