how to defile
We have the next round of SSCAIT results. I was hoping for Killerbot by Marian Devecka over ZNZZBot, because Steamhammer is a favorite over Killerbot. But ZNZZBot squeaked a win by crash. Steamhammer will face ZNZZ in loser’s round 3 and almost certainly be eliminated. Oh well.
one little plague
A highlight from Steamhammer-Icebot on Fighting Spirit. In old days, Steamhammer would have finished a winning game like this by brute force, with mass ultralisks or mass guardians. The actual ending did feature brute force, but more elegantly applied.
Dark swarm ensured that zerglings would break the front. Rubble of bunkers and turrets lies everywhere. Tanks rain splash damage from above, but as zerg reduced the natural, the defiler (selected) threw a plague over every tank. When the mutalisks visited them, the tanks popped like so many bubbles.
Very satisfying. All that work on defilers was worth it.

P.S: Your Randomhammer bot, tscmoor, tscmoop2, tscmooz, Simon Prins, Chris Coxe, Black Crow, Guibot, NiteKatP, Toothpick Cactus, Roman Danielis and Hannes Bredberg are still disabled. [Not mentioning some weaker bots, that I would enable personally, but I already talked about this here. And there are some disabled 5 pools too, if people want them to play.]

Oh, I entirely forgot that Randomhammer was disabled. I’ll fix that.

And there are the Antiga bots, but they are just test forks of SH anyway?

And I found out, that there is much voting happening at the moment. I only watch replays because of limited GB quota per month, but is there more activity again?
