so eu could play in na and na in eu its just time thats the difference ? because na and eu have basicly no lag to each other ^^
or is it region locked ? and how would u check it ?
i otherwise see a lot of koreans play in it and alot europeans basicly have unplayable pings vs them xD
maps as laddermaps is fine, that makes draco and co be able to compete, but i rather would have ANY map before having nostalgia xD

I just don't understand the thinking behind making Nostalgia. It's so clearly imbalanced. The center land mass is irregularly shaped and has asymmetric building terrain on it... Like, isn't symmetry of maps important for fair pathing?

You could replace one or two of these maps with ASL4 maps. Also scan it means that there are going to be three region locked qualifiers which will lead to a global cup.

Question, is the prize for the global cup or for each of the QF?

I'am definitely open to this as long as we do this before the launch of said tournaments.

Yes, each tournament will have it's own set of $600.00 USD prize pool.
These tournaments will be region locked; however, we probably wont be able to guarantee if individuals will be able to use VPN's to bypass the lock. There are some concerns with lag during the global event. We've chose European servers because it seems to be the best servers to host a "Global" tournament.
Regarding Nostalgia, if the community can settle with a certain map to replace it. We can go with that, please let me know here and we'll make the adjustments.

i would say that the only bad thing is using the crap ladder map pool, would be better if ASL4 maps are used instead, or use the most balanced maps like Circuit breaker, Match Point, Colosseum , Tau Cross, Blue storm, etc.

Again, this can be changed as long as the community agrees. One reason for choosing the ladder map pool was to cater to new players who started playing SC:RM (trying to make it noob friendly). We definitely would not mind changing a few to accommodate both new and old.

It's understandable, but you also have to understand that Nostalgia is horribly outdated and everyone vetos it on ladder. Just replace that one and i guess everyone is fine with the rest. I think a 2 player map is what is missing to give the tournament a well rounded map pool. Most popular ones would be Blue Storm or Destination, a more modern one would be Match Point.

Circuit breaker is already in the map pool. I might be blind, but what time does the tourney start?

You're right, Circuit Breaker is in the map pool. My mistake.Thank you for pointing this out!
The tourney details will be announced early next week. Will update as soon as the tournament is added into the Battlefy platform.

Most competitive foreigners are well known, you should be able to quite easily region lock the tournament and weed out any abusers, the threat of being banned from their local event and any future ones should be enough of a deterrent.
With Brood War you can compare replays, hotkey usage and habits to determine a player's identity with near certainty.

Hmmm... I understand, but this might actually be pretty hard to accomplish since this will be the first SC:RM tournament Battlefy will conduct.

I really like that you decided to use the ladder map pool (+circuit breaker), since it's what everyone is practicing on while playing ladder. The only thing that you could improve is remove nostalgia and add a 2 player map, like blue storm, destination, heartbreak ridge, or whatever is considered a good 2 player map nowadays.
Or, since tau cross seems to be popular in the poll above, replace Arcadia with a 2 player map instead.

This is an awesome iniatitive! Great job
Maybe you could add one of the ASL maps instead of Nostalgia? Crossing fields or Gold Rush
