Steadfast versus Chickenman round 2, this time it's spicy.
Casters play the new co-op mod in FFA. It's terribly unfair but that's why it's fun.
Casters gather 'round the table to do a live talk show.
Casters play the card game Bullsh**! Lies, deception, anger.
The power to throw a pie in someone's face is up to you! Every Matcherino donation can count FOR or AGAINST a caster getting pie'd. Highest total for FOR gets the unfortunate prize.
Every dollar up to this point go directly to the players! Further support will be split 50/50 between prize pool (up to $10,000) and production costs coverage.
The gross jelly beans will be eaten live on stream (at least 2 chews required). ZG lost last time - who will throw it up first this time around?
A third party will create SC history questions and the casters will have to answer them correctly, or take a shot/drink something very gross.
He's been warping in via Stargate and will arrive with the appropriate minerals.
One caster will DM a short StarCraft-themed D&D adventure. Will be done post-event if goal isn't reached in time.
The spiciest questions will be asked. If a caster chooses not to answer, they have to eat increasingly hotter wings.
For one game (at least 10 minutes), one caster will be stupidly hype, and the other will be stupidly calm. They must swap instantly upon $5 donations.
Casters will play King's Cup, also known as Ring of Fire. Non-drinkers will drink something gross to keep in the competitive spirit.
Which friendship will be ruined? Casters play a game of Mario Party.
The casters will paint nice little trees...or get frustrated.
A poll will be supplied for both days of the tournament with these maps as options: Metropolis, Catallena, Cactus Valley, Arkanoid, Bel'Shir Beach
Casters will be timed in a stupid obstacle course - get a putt in, get a pool ball in, get to level 2 in the arcade cabinet, etc etc. It'll be dumb, but surprisingly competitive.
Each caster will have a list of their top 10 most used words in a cast. If they use them in the designated series, they have to drink.
Twitch viewers can volunteer to be randomly selected to play a 1v1 versus a caster. The catch? The caster spins the wheel of obstruction, where they may have to play blindfolded, only mouse, with chopsticks, etc.
At least ZombieGrub (and others if they're up for it) will take shots prior to a series and get properly turnt.
Kidding again. Placeholder.
