Safe to assume that Xel' Naga, Metalopolis and Shattered Temple will be in the map pool.
If you have another map that you think should be included (looking at 6 or 7 maps in the pool)
eg. Shakuras (Blizz updated), Typhon Peaks, Backwater Gultch. let us know.

Wow I like that idea haha sheesh you are fast!
Anyone know the memory express contact email or anything? I want to get some SPONSORS for this event!!!
|
I will be up here again with the Calgary crew (and I will try to talk some more people in to coming along as well) for a better showing! Excellent job creating the new event so quickly, Shiro.

For map pools you should have at least 8 so you can avoid repetition in a series like we had last time, try the ladder minus the bad maps, and supplement with the good ICCUP/alt maps so:
EDIT: After much reconsideration GoFarMan's idea is better. I suggest for a 7/8th typhon peaks and the new Shakuras.

iccup didn't make terminus 
iCCup has found that a 7-map map pool works best. You also need to enforce a rule that the same map cannot be played twice in the same series.
...and I've yet to hear of ANYONE who likes slag pits or backwater gulch. don't include these.
another edit: are people actually picking crossfire over testbug t.t

Oops my bad, fixed...
Also I think an 8 map pool works better as it allows players to each thumbs down a map and still have choice in game 5 in a Bo5 for maps. But if ICCUP has had results...
Slag pits is okay, but yeah
It's okay I feel the same way I don't really like crossfire and really like testbug.

if you're using a thumbs-down system then that's probably better but for just loser picks then 7 seems to work well
slag pit's rush distance is like less than steppes lol

Hey don't bash steppes, I have had some really good three base games there. I kind of like how (and if) the macro dynamic that evolves on those kind of maps, but it's easier to achieve that on bigger maps.

ill definitely be going to this one! have to get some lan experience after all ><

Adding in more maps will not stop repitition, laglovah picked xelnaga twice because he knew the win statistics between me and him on it.. which is like 10-1 for him.
i'm voting for terminus, crossfire, and testbug because prodig did a good job casting  I also prefer testbug over taldarim anyday.

I'll do my best to be at this one, but might be in Texas.

tal'darim is turning into such a terran freewin map because of that tank push outside the nat... i hope somebody can figure out how to break it (i know it murders me every time on the ladder ) consistently
personally i'd take xel'naga and metal out because they've been around since the beginning of time and are getting pretty boring, but that's just my opinion 8)

Ahhh noooo always the same place =( We need more gaming LANS in Edmonton.... I really don't think I'm making this one regardless of if I'm busy or not (most likely IB finals anyways) cause it's just so far away..... Btw Clonze won the one yesterday correct?

The only other lan center we have in edmonton is like Blueshift and they cant run sc2 on their pc's

Hey this looks good itd be my first time to a LAN. In all honesty keep Typhoon Peaks out of map pool Backwater Gulch is ok but not ideal i think iCCupTesbug or Shakuras would be the better choices

I'll show up in June I sware :D

I'm in for this one too and will actually be practiced up for it.
