I like Rust in Peace a lot because I believe the expo layout will lead to very dynamic gameplay. This effect likely is due to the fact that it's a three player map, but that the map was merely a solid/standard three player map was not the reason for why it was chosen. If you feel you can create a similar effect in a less standard/boring map, go for it, it might win next motm!

I tried out all the maps. There are some aesthetic issues with Bel'Shir Waterways. If the fog effects are not changed the players will likely complain. It is not spectator friendly either. It is too thick and green. Also in places it is hard to tell where a cliff ends and the low ground begins. It would be nice if these things could be fixed before the tournament. Best food forward and everything.

Also there is a audio file that plays when you start a game on Breaking Point. I recognize it from Starjeweled. I'm not sure why that is there.

This is getting closer. Will it be casted live? Is there a time of day?

It is not going to be casted live. It will be cast from replays. The date of the cast has not been posted in the op yet.

Sorry to bother you but im confused to the check in time for this tourney (29th.) On the Plahem, it says 4pm GMT, yet on the teamliquid thread it says 1pm GMT. Can you clarify? I live in EST if that's easier thanks.

It starts at 4 pm EST, so check-in is probably in the 30 or 60 minutes prior to that time.

Grats to the winners! :D

Rating a map 0 because you don't consider it is such a pile of fail though lol. It takes so much away from the point of giving us access to that doc. Thanks for it anyway tho!

Those ratings were to facilitate discussion, not to enlighten you guys. Either way a rating is an arbitrary number which in and of itself does little to help mappers.

I am very sorry to announce that the tournament is rescheduled for next weekend. I messed up doing the tournament set-up and players couldn't see the bracket. A new tournament link will be up by the end of the day. Thanks and sorry again to everybody who was involved!
