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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

Or, since tau cross seems to be popular in the poll above, replace Arcadia with a 2 player map instead. | ||

 Maybe you could add one of the ASL maps instead of Nostalgia? Crossing fields or Gold Rush | ||
