yeah that version of python
is just.....not so great imo. its just a bunch of wide open space. It doesnt really provide any opportunity for interesting gameplay imo.
I think almost all the bw maps ported are bad. Sin Chupung Ryeong being the best and i must say whoever made it did a wonderful job. such a fun map to play on

i've seen it, but haven't played it so i can't completely vouch for that one. but the others were pretty weak imo.

Just wanted to say that we have some sexy loading screens lined up for the tournament maps. Props go out to prodiG for working on 'em. Should have some teaser screens tomorrow to show you guys as I think they're looking pretty cool so far. 
Also work is underway on a new tournament trailer. Old one was in need of updating badly.

I can't wait for this tournament!

Hey, HDStarcraft and Barrin bumped the thread, now I don't have to double post! Thanks guys! I'm starting to blame the tournament name, everyone thinks this is a UMS tour and ignores the thread, lol. This is most definitely NOT that, and they are missing out unfortunately. And yes, I'm going to toot the horn a bit; this is what they are missing. 
MM2 has one of the biggest prize pool out there right now ($1125) from a combination of super supportive sponsors and community members. 1st place takes away over $500 cash! With prizes being awarded to 2nd, 3rd, 4th and best noob as well! If you have been wanting to contribute to a tourney, don't be shy! Help support us even more! Heck you may even get a front row seat to the action if you are nice about it.
We have the biggest pro line up of any tournament currently and possibly any previous SC2 tournament. Almost every pro player from NA and EU is aboard to play, creating a 43+ player strong SC2 nerd dream. If you know their name, they are likely in the brackets. If they aren't, you can bet they'll be for MM3. Then on top of that we have 85 of the most ambitious community members out there willing to fight against the best. Creating a 128 player strong, tooth and nail battle to the top.
The sickest streamer in the entire eSports scene, none other than djWHEAT and friends. Who will be streaming casts of the Round of 8 and all subsequent matches!
The best BW->SC2 1v1 melee maps: Chupung Ryeong, Fighting Spirit, Destination, Match Point, and others.
We got pages everywhere; youtube, facebook (rabble rabble, hate facebook, rabble rabble), twitter, and any other social medium you can think of. If you want us listed somewhere we are not, shout out and we'll get it done. Well not counting myspace, who uses THAT anymore?!
Custom map loading screens and shit even more stuff planned for when the tourney kicks off. Like movies, VODs, replays of every match organized for easy access and ease, and more.
We have player interviews this upcoming week as well. Both from the pro lineup, and from the sign-up list!
Sponsor deals, exclusive to TL members and Micro Macro 2 tournament followers. Bargains anyone? Thinking about buying PC parts or a clan ventrilo server for the release of SC2? Consider these guys as they support SC2 and are big TL fans. We want these guys to continue supporting the eSports scene, give them your love!
Announcement ASAP of our second and possibly third caster that will be alongside WHEAT. Maybe *Cough* Day9 and Chill *Cough*. That's wheat's business though, so hound him about the casting. I don't think he hears it enough from me. Joking. But no really, hound him still. ;-)
Releasing our final schedule ASAP as soon as Blizzard gives us a firm notice on Phase 2 beta dates. I need blue!
So yeah HYPE this tourney up! Tell your parents, your friends, your pets, hell post up flyers in your neighborhood, your local hang-out, everywhere. It's going to be freaking insane and the players, casters and sponsors, deserve all the hype you guys can create! Super stoked about this tournament fellas, you all should be too, this is going to be extremely epic. Heck if HDStarcraft is stoked for things to get underway, one of the men behind HDH, I think that tells you good things.
Whew, ok, back to tournament work.
EDIT: Barrin, a movie? Only if we go out to dinner afterwards.
EDIT2: Hmm, I was really excited when I typed all that wasn't I. Hmm whatever, I am looking forward to the tournament.

I have few questions about map pool in ro128 and ro64.
Are all the maps from Blizzard allowed? (i.e. Incineration Zone and etc)
No "new" (i.e. those that go from ro32 and up) maps allowed, correct?
Are map repetitions allowed? (i.e. 2 lts in a row)
Good morning,
We have a lovely rule section that answers these questions! Please check it out as it is very important that all tournament participants are familiar with the tourney rules. But, here are the answers anyways.
All the maps listed in the "About" section of the OP are available during the ro128 and ro64. This currently includes and only includes...
Lost Temple
Steppes of War
Destination
Fighting Spirit
Chupung Ryeong
Match Point
Impervious
Tornado
You are not allowed to use a map more than once during a round. Every round also has a designated starter map. The map listed for that round in the "About" section of the OP is that round's starter. So in the case of the ro128, the starter is Lost Temple, and in the case of the ro64, it is Steppes of War.
Enjoy the tournament.

what happen to the alt list? lol

Hm as a curiosity question your not interviewing all 128 players are you? Just doing all the pro's then picking some random no names it sounds like? Just curious is all
|
This is going to be awsome :D nice looking maps
|
*Cough cough* I will be available for an interview tomorrow Stew, just have your people talk to my people about a schedule. Yea. So.. YAY TOURNEY!

I call for a round of 254 next MM tournament.

Is there any chance something like [Regular SC2 Tourney] or such could be appended to the thread title, so people don't keep mistaking this for a UMS tournament? I know I ignored this thread for a couple weeks just because of that.

I'm sorry to say it but is it really that hard to click the link and read a few sentences about what the tournament actually is?
