The maps decision are a noticeable departure from the last TSL. These maps have been played to death. Idra and Ret better not lost games on any of the current courage maps.

Can you explain how the Nony/Ladder #1 situation works out? If Nony and Ladder #1 both make it into the Top 16 they're basically playing for seed? Or Nony is doesn't have to play ladder at all, but if he loses to ladder #1 he's out? Or switches seed with ladder #1?

Doesn't seem like theres that much of an incentive to be ladder number 1, you have to play Nony instead of a random qualifier. It would be cool if the loser of Ladder 1 or Nony could drop into qualifier number round 3 if they lost. Still seems really cool though, and I'm definitely looking forward to this.

As far as I know, this is what is happening.

Awesome news! TSL is gonna kick so much ass. The casters are perfect. The map pool is less than perfect IMO (ROTK, Blue Storm and HBR should've been in ), but it's good enough.


wtf ROTK is worst map EVAR

blue storm and hbr.. not very interesting either ;p

GO tSL2!

Dude, you on drugs or something? ROTK is the best map EVAR. It is so beautiful and inspirational.

The thing is, Fighting spirit already covers the generic 4 player map aspect that andromeda provides :/, most games that Andromeda brings are really boring macro games with not much room for creativity and occasional sair/reaver play PvZ.

it's not OK to go 4-0 and then play more and end up with 4-2, right? (basically, the rule applies to more than just the final score between the players)

but what if they dont end up 4-2? what if they end up 6-0?

It would've been nice to see a foreigner built map though, but perhaps that would have been too hard to engineer. And I like Match Point a lot. But who says I'm right?

This should will be awesome.

once it is 3-0, you stop. just don't play each other.

They can't end up 6-0; if one player gets +3 (3-0, 4-1, 5-2 etc) they have to stop playing.

So, during the ladder you can only use these maps or does this map pool only apply for the TSL itself?

Also, does the TSL tag have to be in a certain format? Like TSL-(name) or can it be name[TSL] or name(TSL) or something?

Lastly, you can use any race during the ladder, right?

As long as it is clear, it is acceptable.

How, exactly, should we be tagged up? Or just as long as it looks like a tag and says TSL?

Anyway, I'm totally stoked for this =)

Oop, am a moron. Didn't see the answer to kona.
seriously next disrespectful comment in this blog is ip ban. Be happy or get the hell out. // SC2 is like playing with neutral-colored Play-Doh while BW is like colorful Legos.
