The result for a player in my shoes considering playing this tournament is: 1) That's too many maps, I don't want to bother learning them all. 2) End up beating or losing to a player because one of us has much more or much less practice on a particular map (unnecessary variance) 3) Low quality games. If you limit the tournament to 3-4 maps all of those problems are done away with and I don't see what the draw backs are, 3-4 maps is still plenty. I'm not playing in this tournament, but I'm a good player. I'll practice with you to get you in shape if you want. | ||

So you've never heard of Fighting Spirit. /Ignore Seriously though the majority of these maps are from the last seasons proleague the current players know them really well and Aztec, Bloody Ridge are very well known maps too and further more all of these maps have been proven to be kind of balanced. The only bad map there is Neo Aztec because it's a Terran grave yard and we don't have that many Terran players, so depending on luck of the draw we could have a difficult time for terrans advancing from brackets. | ||

The map pool provided in this announcement is kinda misleading though. This is a total map pool that will be used throughout the tourney. I don't want to get into too much details since the news post containing all information about qualifiers will be posted soon, but to put your concerns laid to rest, here's some inside information: - Qualifiers will only use 3 maps from the pool posted in this announcement. This way if you want to qualify you only need to practice three maps. - Rest of the tournament until Finals will use 5 maps. So once you've qualified to the main tournament you have to put in effort to practice two more maps. - Finals will use all 7 maps. If your reach finals you should come prepared. | ||

I really feel like this would be a reward of sort for the loyalty that the remaining BW casters displayed. It would feel really unjust to just throw them under the bus and giving this opportunity to people who have left the foreign BW scene in favor of other ''more profitable ventures'' now I'm not saying that they shouldn't cast this or that I don't want them to, but something just doesn't feel right about ignoring the people who have stuck with foreign BW for the past two and a half years and not letting them cast alongside the old stars. | ||

No they shouldn't. They should pick the two people who will make for the best cast, and they did. They quite literally picked the two best people in the world to cast this. We should all get on our knees tonight and thank the lord that they are casting, and pray for no rain in England for the next 5 months. | ||
