Signups for Week 1 will be open Jan. 7th thru Jan. 14th
Please sign up here: Signups
There is a revision/edit history on this document and I will review it thoroughly to ensure signups were honest.

Who will play?

The next opponent will be selected through a raffle based on players who want to compete each week. Rank must be A- or higher. The two players are responsible for arranging and playing all 9 matches before each Tuesday’s cast and then supplying them to the event organizer, BisuDagger.

Format

Signups to participate will be available the Saturday (4 days) before each cast. This will ensure the player selected from the list will be able to play the same week they are chosen to participate. The next challenger will be announced at the end of each cast.
B09 will be played.
After each game, loser picks the map for the next game.
The maps available for picking are below. *No map can be played twice in a series.

Map List

Korean Maps:
Circuit Breaker
Benzene
Demian
New Bloody Ridge
New Sniper Ridge

The closing on this decision will be in 5 days (january 11th)

In regards to maps, I did set out with a goal to have 4 foreign maps, but did not want to overwhelm the players with a lot of changes. The last map that would be considered is Crown and Scepter. Please vote and explain your choice so I can adjust accordingly.

....."and playing all 9 matches". Does it mean that if the score is 5-0, rest of matches will be played?

Nope, bo9 stops when player has won the majority. So 5 wins is all thats needed. Ill make sure to add this all to a wiki that will be on liquipedia this week.

Official Update: (3)Reap the Storm version 1.03 now available.
BWMN link for alternative download source.
+ Show Spoiler [version image] +

Changelog

added more usable building space to 10 o'clock main
added more building space for turrets and such on the mid ground between mineral only and high ground third
some cosmetic updates
plus a rather unholy amount of what may look like random changes because technically they are just random changes, whereas what they actually are is a highly sophisticated military training course to sober up all those funky workers who could not find their proper way home to the nearest town hall after, I assume, having had a bit too much of their drugs... you know, whatever that stuff is they label as "minerals"...

How would you then find out if they are really available for a specific week then, though? This makes walkovers much more likely as you first have to find out if someone is available and then find an alternative in a shorter time frame.

I haven't signed up yet because I won't be able to play first week if chosen. Now that you will keep the same sheet all season should I sign now or after first week is played?
Thanks for the tournament .
