I'm excited! Some good maps imo:
either
longinus or tau
gaia or fantasy
RoV or HH
and maybe one old map like Into the Darkness or Challenger (i'm serious) or something?
And maybe one of the new pro maps? I don't know them but I guess having one to learn wouldn't' be so bad.

just pick some of the new maps i guess? some maps are simply overplayed. tau / longinus / peaks has been in too many leagues by now.

how about... blue storm, loki 2, ungoro crater and persona (im serious about that one!)?

Hello,

I've thought a bit about the maps, and I came to two conclusions. First, I don't want to reuse Tau, longings, Peaks, etc....it would be boring (imo). The second conclusion is that we should use the msl s3 maps. Why? Well, look at the maps:

- Python: Not much needed here: it's a great map, balanced, simple, and has shown to produce good games. I would have put this in no matter what.
- Blue storm: We need a two player map. To be honest, we have three options: this one (blue storm), Monty hall, and Peaks. Peaks is overused, is old, and though it gives good games is....well, old.

MH is no better. No matter the balancing, I still hate the map...sorry

- Zodiac: I like the map, not much too it, and seems it's quite popular.
- Katrina: Same as zodiac.

All in all, I wanted new maps, maps that people will have to learn (in the case that some haven't been practicing/gaming) and maps that will provide good games.

There we go.

Next post will be about seed selection.

Well, the problem is, while semi and I have an idea about how we will get the bracket decided, we need those confirmations, because we need to know if those people are there for sure. I'm sure you will agree that it's worth a little wait than ending up waiting after the bracket is done because someone decided to go inactive a while back.

[edit] Four confirmations left
