This will be a small casual weekly event where especially beginners are welcome to join and learn, but all other skill levels will be accepted too. Experienced players are welcome to help with the teaching part. No signups are necessary, come and go as you please.

Expect the starting time to be 19:00 UTC or a little earlier, on Fri/Sat/Sun (I'll try Fridays when possible). I plan to always announce the next event in advance in this thread and on the zk discord, based on my schedule.

Right now, I'm gathering ideas for educational activities.
  • USrankAdminSteel_Blue already suggested a KOTH-style match (see thread). Could be useful for practicing unit counters and compositions.
  • My idea was a "pure greed mode" where players cannot fight and race to capture more mexes or get more income than the opponent in a given time or until all mexes are capped. Possibly restricted to a specific factory. Good for practicing fast expansion and economy. I do know about the Rosetta challenge, but I think this could be more exciting.
  • Another is "glaive-k" where one can only build economy, cons, and glaives, perhaps lotus turrets. Practice the raider phase. Probably stressful.
  • Otherwise, the classic method could be a normal match where I spectate and use cheats to join teams and give advice in real time.
  • Matches could be slowed down, especially for players that still fight with the controls.

This event is very much a work in progress, so apologies in advance for any hiccups.
