Don't mean to sound like an anal douche, but wouldn't it be simpler to say that KingGeedorah is that ZvT's?
And aww yeah, Xkcd has found the true way to Terran... No more imba Zerg.
Anyways, it looks like SunKan has 7 players, putting them at the "minimum" that we all set with 7. Thanks to BaBo, it looks like we have enough free agents to put every team at the 7 players we all want, plus a bit more... Maybe after every team reaches 8, teams are randomly selected to pick out the remaining free agents, or just leave it at the team with the least number of players filling up their teams will free agents?

Two of the BWMN maps are being used, the two that were added to the ICCup mappack. Outsider and Destination were removed. I thought I posted that about a week ago...maybe it didn't go through. Updating OP is the best way to update. And there were 3 maps that were added, Gemlong, Resonance, and DeserTec.
DeserTec is pretty sketchy in terms of balance and many new players might not like the force field mechanic used so much...I approve of using those two BWMN maps tho hope to see some interesting games in Resonance II and Gemlong...

I also want to remind everyone that we are waiting on the additional player that thezanursic said might be joining our team, and we are awaiting an official ruling on puppykiller, because if he is allowed to play then because I've known him for a while I requested that he join our team and not participate in the draft as a player of no affiliation (he is also interested in joining our team).
I do want to make it known on pebble's behalf that he is against having puppykiller in DRTL, but if he is accepted into DRTL is okay with having him on our team (pending a team vote). I think that the reason why puppykiller should be granted an exception while other players in similar situations have not is because he isn't just guesstimating his rank with his offrace, but has actually laddered a fair number of games and has posted results consistent with this league's requirements. Here is his ladder account in case you are interested:
http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/gamingprofile/BigSandwich88.html
If I understand correctly, I think that his season 20 stats are from him playing Terran, but this was also a long time ago. I feel that combined with this evidence and the fact that other former high-rank players have been allowed based on current form and results, there isn't much of a reason to deny puppykiller entry into the league. Will await an official decision ofc.
EDIT: Obviously if we collect puppykiller and potentially the other player, that will push Sun Kan a lot farther away from drafting possibilities, and I'm glad that the added players could help other teams pick up a sufficient amount of players.
EDIT 2: @Sync I just posted Geedorah's MUs as he sent them to me on FB ^^

Rofl, the fact that pk even brushes with C- with his OFFRACE is enough for me to be against him joining. Artanis himself hasn't even hit C- with Z (his main race was P iirc) and he's already voluntarily taken himself off.

Yea the season 20 stats were me with terran I think a year ago. Actually my terran is low enough now that it would almost qualify for the league but I would rather play zerg because its more fun for me to learn a new race.

My current terran for reference...

Probably going to removed some map (Sniper/Jade/CB) and add in Pamir Plateur.

Wow, be fuckin' careful with your gateway placement vs. T on this shit.

I personally think it looks a lot more interesting than CB.

Implement Gemlong, Grand Line and Circuit Breaker and ill be the happiest person ever 
awesome and interesting maps too! so its totally worth it !
|
as a terran I vote yes for Pamir Plateau.
|
Gemlong should be implemented imho. Really nice map, played some 2on2 on it, while it was MotW. Dunno how it is in 1on1, but since it is really similar to FS (imho), I cannot imagine it being bad.

i Rather have Gemlong instead of pamir plateu.
