I'm in Corran, count me in for Protoss going Immortals or High Templars.

No...Archons! Archons are SOOOOO good! Very late game strategy though, gonna have to cannon turtle or get someone to go early tier units for defense.

PykePresco, 225. 1v1 Gold level Protoss.

I'm down. I'm a 1v1 diamond Protoss. Never played any team games, though. I plan on mass Phoenix. :)

Is that the actual restriction for this week?

What the hell do you do if you want to go baneling, broodlord, or archon?

None of the games really had the wow factor of the no queens daily. But next weeks could be fun. I'd love to see Mothership banelings so you can do the vortex of death.

I would totally do a mass Phoenix for the Funday Monday challenge. Maybe sometime this weekend.

Someone should totally do a Probe/SCV/Drone rush. :D

Corran, Valenti Mystery and I are gonna do some 3v3s right now, we're trying archons, phoenix and banshees. Jump on for some 4v4 action! For Archons I'll just warp in templar 2 at a time and merge immediately! Hope there's no ghosts...

I haven't watched this Day9 but this Funday struck me as kind of dumb. It completely removed the Terran core and left them with really nothing but those 'cutsey' (tm/day9) units. I'd expect to see alot of Reaper stall into Banshee into Thor. At least when he proposed the idea that is what I figured would work the best.

I would definitely be down - PaperTiger

I'm assuming we're allowed to make more workers in addition to whatever unit we declare? If not :lol

I'll be carriers :D

I was very confused that we didn't see a single thor at all.

And apparently Queens, Observers, and assuming static defense are fine to build on top of what you're massing.

We just did a round but one guy had his computer crash and another left, so it was pretty onesided. That said, marine/battlecruiser/archon is pretty damn nasty.

Valenti told me to ask for an invite and then disappeared?

I already got some random idea's for the 4v4 funday thing. The most baller thing would be a 4v4 and announce Mothership with an army of probes! :lol

Go my babies! Mommy will protect you!

Do Queens count as "a unit" for Funday Monday?

I've done mass queens in team games before, tis a lot of fun. No one expects it and they usually dont know what to do to it (even though it is really easy to stop).

First impression is that mass infestors is not the way to go.

Didn't help that I walled off the wrong area of my base... :(

I thought about mass infestors as well. Probably would've helped you if you 15 hatch right away. It's what I did.

If it isn't already, funday Monday should be a regular thing.

Ah, yeah. That might work.

I did throw up a hatch to block off my ramp - but then found out that it was the wrong ramp.

Also was under the impression you couldn't use queens. :(

Oh well, I can see that playing these off-wall games will help you think outside the box. I didn't know what the heck was going on. Nice to get out of 1v1 every once and a while.

I'm pretty sure your allowed queens as a unit for Macro reasons, not attacking reasons. If you wanted to go Mass queens you'd have to state mass queens. I doubt he'd cast something where you go 1/2 mass queen and 1/2 mass something else.

But I am curious as to what his Policy is on Motherships.

Tank nerf actually worked, methinks. My win ratio against terrans going tanks has increased, since zealots don't just evaporate anymore. I still have that pattern where all the zealots are dead but there are plenty of stalkers and immortals to more than clean up, but I actually see zealots reaching and hitting the tanks a few times where before they would just evaporate like they never been there in the first place.

Phoenix is not a good idea for Funday Monday. High Templars + Agressive cannons is a very good idea, though. You need roach or stalker support to pull it off.

Dood, don't do muta;D

Do something crazy!

I really wanted to go zergling or baneling. Finally an excuse to go crazy with mass speedlings! Mwahahahahahahaha! Hydras can work since you can mass queens as well for Transfusions and Creep Tumors.

Really, I understand the reasoning behind allowing queens (since Terran has OC and Protoss has chrono) but letting them move out with the army seems like cheating. :(

It should be noted that both teams did the Funday Monday restriction, which sort of isnt as great. I want to see a single unit stomp a proper mix. But damn is Marine/Archon/Battlecruiser ever awesome.

What's the best way to control an army of Marine/Marauder/Ghost? I want to keep the entire army on one hotkey (including the ghosts) and then have another hotkey with JUST the ghosts so I can control EMPs. however, when the ghosts are in a control group, i can't use stimpacks on the marines/marauders because the ghost's abilities take priority.

what's the best way to control these units?

You can tab through the unit types in a group if that helps.

I just learned about them with his youtube videos. I didn't realize the fundays are what people did in the past week. Thanks CronicalX.

Okay, so if I want to hatch larvas with hotkeys, it's 5 (target Hatchery), F (target Larva), and press a button...

But how the hey do I chrono boost Nexus as 'toss without looking at it? 5 to target, C to mark the chrono boost, but then what?

I think you can click on the minimap. I know that Zerg can click on the minimap to Spawn Larva.

Pretty sure you can't actually click on the portraits/wireframe anymore though.

Deal with it!
For me, first hatch: 4
Second hatch: 5
All queen: 0

Inject:
440v(click)550v(click) (middle of the screen).

After 1-2 more exps, I usually get them to 6 or 7. It is effective, not so much with 6+ bases.
