Lurker Libre: TotalBiscuit to host “masked” StarCraft 2 invitational with mystery players

Comment

Luchadore stage names, burrito sponsors and Mexican commentary are three of the features that may or not make it into TotalBiscuit’s latest “dumb idea”, but one thing is certain: the inimitable caster is planning a SHOUTcraft Masked Invitational, in which the names of top players will be hidden.

“Dumb ideas that roll through my head include: SHOUTcraft Masked Invitational, all mystery players, names revealed when they are knocked out,” tweeted TotalBiscuit this morning. “Each player must take a luchadore stage name and must wear an actual mask while playing.”

“Ok who am I kidding you'd watch the crap out of that let's get it done,” he added. And later: “This is goddamn happening. Going to go find the funding and masks. BBL.”

The caster clarified on Reddit that the invitational “won’t be a barcode tournament” - rather, each player will be assigned a Lucha Libre-themed name and mask on a new account, and be officially unmasked on camera as they are knocked out.

All of which begs the question: how well do you know the playstyles of SC2’s top players? Well enough to recognise them on sight?
