All tied up, 3-3. I had a major advantage and two ways to win (take him out in Russia and/or China) but failed miserably.

I thought the game was still close. I made 1 bad mistake of deciding to power into moscow when i should have made that move at the end of the order. Just thought he was going to transfer in quickly so i wanted a stuff.

I did have some fancy moves in E china though. Also I'm quite happy I kept both fronts alive. That was the key.

Off to game 7!

so... any one up for my requesT?

I'm going to let another veteran take over in the mean time. I'm in too many games to play quick enough. Maybe HeyHeuHei or BP can do it

i just dont understand this competition. if the member player loses, he "buys" a membership for someone else; if the challenger loses, he gets a membership for himself. that sounds really unfair, given the stakes at play.

not really. If you can beat the member player in the series you get a free lifetime account. If you lose, you are forced to buy your membership.

What the member gains, is another person added to the pool of members
What the Challege gains, is a free membership

it might be unfair if you value those things differently

no, no -- those tradeoffs are fine. i thought the member was the one to pay the membership for the challenger. thanks for the info.

If the member loses, he buys a membership for the challenger, not someone else.

then it makes very little sense -- the challenge should be harder. some non-members are amazingly good.
it should be something like: 2 members vs 1 non-member, in one game. the possibility of the non-member to win is very low -- but still exists.
that's my view on that...

True, some non-members are very good. And those are the non-members Blue Precision was trying to attract to the ladder when he first offered this challenge. Basically, the 'challenge' is a member giving the gift of 1 (or more) membership to a non-member. The first to beat him. We can give lip service to the value of having more competition and opponents on the ladders, but there really isn't that much incentive to the member, other than generosity.

That is why no one will accept my challenge cause im too good :)

Well guys...

Congrats to Yuanshuai!

He played well and he probably researches more than any person on here. I see that he has already joined the ladder and is doing well. I'd watch out for him as he is very good and he can only get better. He's proven himself and I've lost in a Best of 5 extended to Best of 7 series with him.

Good luck and I hope to play many more games with him!

Glad it's over. GGs.

PS - Your membership should be paid for by now. I gifted it to you and Randy(Fizzer) should be reimbursing you sometime soon!

Congrats Yuanshuai !! Maybe you'll be able to beat me once pretty soon, who knows ♫
(Muaaa, ha, ha ^^ <-- arrogant, narcissic and somewhat cheeky laugh ;o) )

& Thanks Ruthless for the challenge.

See you guys.

Very impressive series of games :)

A worthy marshal indeed. Congrats!

So anyone out there willing to take my challenge? :)

The easiest way to have someone accept is for you to buy the membership. Since the way it will work is reimbursement, buying it now will only help your case to get into a series with someone. Since i just lost a series and I'm re-joining the ladder, i'm going to pass.

It's ok Mian. I consider you slightly better than me in 1 v 1s, but not by much. In Chinese mian = noodle. Maybe next time we play I'll make you look like a wet noodle!
