    Is this going to be played on the latest build?

    As the map with the timezones states "first person spectating", then yes, we can assume it will use the latest build.

    Glad to see this posted but I wish these great casters were covering more matches.. 3 matches out of a TON that are going to be played tomorrow.

    I know there are other casters doing them but I love the official casts.

    they're going to wait a few centuries until someone invents a time machine, then they'll travel back to last month and reschedule all of the matches to fall prior to b240.

    or alternatively they could just play the latest build.

    Oh yes I'm excited about what strategies/tactics competetive teams are gonna try to pull with the new additions.

    ESPECIALLY excited to see if the 'regular' EXO suits are going to be put to use with the new improvements for those and such atleast I feel the 50 Pres you pay for the railgun EXO suit is well worth the price with it's high mobility along with the railgun. x)

    Strategies and tactics will include not using gorge tunnels because of the absurd cost, and generally dying before they could research them anyways due to broken skulk movement.

    You're only going to see alien wins today in the absolute biggest of mismatches skill wise.

    That map with the global starting times is very nice indeed.

    http://www.ensl.org/articles/749 Here's a list of almost every match today. I think we only missed a stream on a couple of them.

    most matches resulted in a 2:0 win.

    the verdict = better strategy can almost completely replace the botched skulk acceleration.

    The stream was great, even made the front page of Twitch for a bit. Shot us up to 800-1600 viewers.

    Some viewers didn't know what game it was and were pretty impressed with it. The NS2 players kindly pointed them towards the 50% off Steam page.

    "Damn I was completely wrong about that and my ridiculous offhand statement about balance really looks silly now."
