Tcbb's Invincible anti-turtle grey formation competition.

Inspired by Twelve's success. I decided to run my own tourney. Ever since I returned 3 weeks ago, I have been using mostly a formation I call the hammer fomation. Most people consider it to be a n00b formation and lose to it dumbfound. For mysterious unknown reasons, it also beats all my other formations when I was testing it.

Now, here is a picture of the Hammer formation I just talked about. Of course, like all other formations, it has its weekness. I designed it as an anti-turtle formation; and you can probably guess that a bomb or spread formation will destroy it.

So, this is the challenge: beat my formation with a grey turtle formation you would normally use. To qualify as a turtle, no unit should pass the central line(or it could be considered as a spread). Here is Bottle's formation as an example. My whole point of this tournment is to show the grey world a formation that has an advantage against grey turtle and the turtle formation isn't the only formation for grey. So if you use a formation specially designed to counter my formation, the game would be pointless.

I don't have much reward to give except a fun and challenging game for all the paticipants, and a little bragging right for the winner. Since this formation isn't luck proofed, you have to win more than lose in at least 2 games to qualify as the champion. If you are interested, find me in Great Lake. If you see me online, I am probably in the lobby of Great Lake.

Tcbb, what about people who normally use spreads? Or are you just going to ignore them?

I think my grey turtle already has a positive record against this form, but I guess some of those games were in your relative beginningness of greydom. I'll play.

I tried a setup like that a little, never mastered it though. I'd love to see how well it would work if it was used well.

Are drops prohibited or discouraged?

It's in his strategy guide. Most turtle formation are similar to it.

I am not so sure about "positive". But this has definitely evolved from the formation you played 1 year ago.

Not many people use spread, and if I do meet one, I will just hand my ass to it.

I am online now in GL now.

I think this is the form swifty used last night that I beat him with the units in my sig. I did turtle also. If I can beat him with 9 I might be able to beat you with 10 seeing as it is your form and you have experience at it.

Swift was trying my form. He just beat me(though I d/c). He played very well, and exploit fully the formation's weekness.

But since we agreed before the game that this doesn't count as a tournment game, this tournment hasn't finished .

The difference between your tournament and 12's is that his would only be beaten by the perfect formation that got a bit of luck. Yours can easily be beaten by skill.
