So especially maps like TauCross should not be used, imo. Python is questionable enough, but for no reason many new people still play it. Yeah, I'd be down for a change to something like Circuit Breaker or Match Point. I'd also support a Python -> Destination Map change Definitely like the idea of putting in one or two newer maps, especially in favor of maps like tau/HBR. I doubt anybody that's really new knows Tau/HBR that well anyways, and playing on newer maps seems like a better idea to me. Keeping python and FS is good since everybody plays though and tends to be the maps newer players are most familiar with. I'd definitely agree. Bloody Ridge, Circuit Breakers, Grand Line was great. Please god no destination. Blashphemy. How can one not like destination?! Such an awesome map. That and outsider. That said I'd most like to see python/FS + new(er) maps used. 100% lose rate can make a man hate 'dem bridges, knowhowimean?
I understand, man. I hate 'dem bridges too.
So I think I'll definitely change Tau to Circuit Breaker. For HBR I'd like to change it out for another 2-player map if anything. Would Bloody Ridge be the best option?

So ok, I admit I've hit D+ twice, but I wasn't able to play for almost a year now. I'm terribad now and am trying to get used to a new keyboard as well... so yeah
ICCUP name: sGs.Void Rank: D/D- ish Race: Protoss
Alternatively I would be willing to cast. I have not even set up a stream yet and I honestly don't know if I will be able to with my shoddy 2000 bit connection, but I'll try hard. If anyone has any advice btw feel free to PM me here... A dual cast with someone inviting me onto a working stream would also work of course...

ICCup name: Ecrilon Rank: D, probably. I tend to play with friends more than I ladder. I got to like 1200 at one point! Race: Protoss

D- is <900
I'd volunteer to do some casting, but I'm too traumatized from casting Lumire's P.

I would actually also be interested in casting this if you needed a caster still!! I have a stream set up already!?!?

I'll give it more review, but based on your ICCup results I believe you are overqualified for this tournament. It might not be fair to the other players.

However, you're fine Jumperer. Good luck in the tourney!
EDIT: Sorry, I should've edited my first post instead of double posting.

Ok, I just tested my connection and read up on some constraints and unless you guys know a way to stream a cast with 0.15 Mbps upstream I will not be able to singlecast that stuff... But we (Snipinpanda, TheNessman) could team up if you like or make an cast/observer combo. But unless someone knows a way to sort that out I can't be the observer...
I'm also still willing to play but I leave that decision to duncan.mc

Hi, long time I was just lurking around, but for this tourney I had to register.  If Void should be allowed to play, so I should be too, cause I know hes better than me.

UGH!!! Too bad i quit SC... T.T this would have been so fun... and WTF? B+ lmao. gg.

Arghh...I wish I could play, but unfortunately I don't think I can make it on Sunday at 1 PM
I will try my best to play this great tournament though... sGs.Aldebaran highest rank D (~1500) Protoss
I'm not 100% sure if I can make it or not, but is there any kind of penalty for not showing up? I would really like to play this tournament but I just don't know if I can make it...

Ewwww..... Python
I would play but i really don't like that map :S.
To further clarify, you have to play TvP differently because you can't secure third easily without going for a heavy midgame push of some sort.
TvZ you have a chance of getting a close air distance, which can be pretty bad for Terran.
Should substitute Python for Circuit Breakers imo, since it is also a 4 player map, but the player spawns are the same FS.
Destination isn't really standard either. People end up playing Mech in TvZ, which i'm not saying is bad, but at lower levels, people should be practicing bio play imo.
HBR is actually a good map for standard play. So is blue storm if you are looking for another good single player map.

I just want to say I think you should be able to go Mech at lower levels. It's a solid strategy, and practicing bio is fine and all but if you feel like you can pull Mech against Z off then I say go for it. No matter what level you are.
Python is an awkward map though, no doubt.
Then again, I don't care if anyone plays standard. ;s
