I watched Mac lose to archers yesterday... lol.
I'm curious how many times you yourself have won against Swift when he was going archers? I'd put money on that action.
Harrywangs vs Swift, Swift goes archers, Bo5. But if Swift thinks I want it to happen, he won't do it for that reason alone lol. So scrap that plan.
You're actually being issued a challenge from Mac himself, a 10 map series that has been called a "Sharkfight" for over 6 years across multi-map playing servers. Each player picks 5 maps in turns. In the event of a 5-5 score, an 11th map tiebreaker is added, to be chosen either by mutual agreement, or given to viewers/observers to select.
We'll put a bit of money on it to make it more exciting.
If you win all 10 games, you get $150 USD.
You get 1 free loss
If you lose 2, you pay $5
If you lose 3, you pay $20
If you lose 4, you pay $50
If you lose 5 or more, you pay $150
All incomplete games on Aug. 23rd, 2025, shall be counted as losses.
Rules
All games are to be played "one peon" start, EF speed, and random start location.
Chooser gets to pick map, resources, and tileset. Players take turns playing their map selection.
Only decent quality normal playstyle maps where both players have access to gold and lumber are valid, no altered properties allowed (ie. impossible to make dragons, changed build times, 1 hp, extra hp, free build, etc.)
MAP ELIMINATION If you have certain maps you detest, you may eliminate any number of maps from the map playing pool you desire, but whatever number of maps you choose to eliminate from the map pool, Mac will be allowed to eliminate the same number. Eliminating a map eliminates all its versions (ie. HSC all versions, ladder and classic counts as one elimination). For example, if you look at his map selection and say you hate the look of one, you can eliminate that map, and then he can also eliminate one of yours from your list, to be replaced with an alternate map.
Dodges to official challenges are recorded in the Sharkfight records and should you choose to run from this, your score will be recorded as Mac 10, Harry 0 with a dodger label.
You have 2 months to complete this challenge which expires August 23, 2025. Should you require an extension due to strenuous work schedule, travel, or injury, you may receive one upon request. Should you find the inclusion of money added to the series to be stressful or distasteful, we can omit that part upon request and you two will just play for fun.
Mac's map selections are POS and the 4 attached below.
