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.

HBR is good but BLUE STORM? Oh god no. Nononononononononono.

Soooooooooo overplayed :D

Well, Destination is also getting quite overplayed IMO but it's still in there. And the overplayed argument cannot be said about ROTK; I see absolutely no reason at all why the best map EVAR is excluded.

But TSL is gonna kick ass anyway.

The loser of Nony vs #1 Ladder will be seeded into R3 of the Qualifiers
but thats shitty for #1 ladder since if he looses to nony, he has 2 more rounds to play, while #2 has only 1, so #2 has better chances than #1^^

To clarify.

Ranks 2-12 = 11 players....you cant make a bracket with an odd number of players...where does the 12th come from? The loser of Nony vs Ladder #1.

To clarify even more, the loser of Nony vs Ladder #1 goes to Round 3 Qualifiers for their "regular" chance to qualify.

Hi terran user!

Damn, you got me! Ya, Terran is awesome and should have at least 60% winrate vP (preferably in both MU's though, but it's more important that those protoss scumbags get what they deserve) if a map is to be considered good IMO. :D But the T favouring is not the only reason why ROTK is the best map EVAR. Look at how beautiful it is; it's a work of art. I intend to make a poster of it and put it on my wall. And it's good for both macro games as well as harassment and early aggression.

You're playing Andromeda? Seriously. You're going to run Andromeda and not Heartbreak Ridge or Match Point?

Oh wells, I'll have to reaquaint myself with that map

Everything else looks amazing though

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.


If you are ladder no1 you have really darn good chances of beating Nony, so its not bad at all, Idra/Ret/Ra are clear favorites over Nony any day and they can easily hit ladder no1.

lol

skill doesnt fade

im gonna smash ladder #1


wow ^.^ You heard it here first
