Morrow can't be in a game with 2+ people. We've tried some solutions and are sorry to have to report Grobyc's computer as one casualty We therefore decide to now give up trying to stream and let everyone enjoy the EU vs US showmatch! I do apologize to everyone who wanted to see an Arena comeback. Sorry everyone

We will look for a very swift reschedule, the polls and players selected will go over to that show so don't worry about that. Also, Morrow offered to play in a SC2 Arena 2 so we're gonna try and make that happen some time soon as well. Sorry again guys, please enjoy the showmatch and football instead.

Announcement topic

2 more days til showtime: time to announce the players and to bust out some polls!

Players:

To those selected, please be in channel TL-Arena a bit before the designated time and whisper to mG.GrobyC or Pholon so we know you're there. If you play make sure you have Antihack on. If you lag we find a reserve. Those picked as reserves may step up if people don't show up. If they also fail to show we start going down the list of people who left their ID in the announcement topic.

IdrA syndrome on an expo-heavy map. Forces either quick lift-off play or "wasting minerals".

Can I get a download link for this set of maps ? Most of them are completely unknown to me and I'd like to ... get a game or two on them before we go.
Thanks in advance !

Why is the IdrA syndrome called the IdrA syndrome? Did IdrA cancel a CC in the middle of an important game or something?

The ones that are Blizzard made came with SC:BW the game, the foreign made map has a link to its topic and the maps used for competitive play are on tlpd.

PMed the participants to confirm so reserves know their chances of being needed. Kicked 2 guys out cause of their inability to fill out a simple form. Try again next time.

Oh my god. DMZ is in the map pool. Will we see SCV rushes? All I remember were dumb worker rushes on that map in 2v2.

DMZ will only be in the map pool if it wins the poll. There are already 6 standard maps selected for the map pool; the winner of this poll claims the 7th map.

You might want to select 2 additional reserves again just incase?
