Schedule: http://us.battle.net/blizzcon/en/event-info/schedule/friday-schedule

Stream: http://us.battle.net/blizzcon/en/live-stream/



Blizzard announced details for Blizzcon. Most disappointing thing? Look at that absurd map pool lol. And they are probably using the version of Shattered Temple with close spawns still possible.

The StarCraft II tournament format adheres to a standard setup. All sixteen players have been seeded into a double-elimination bracket, to compete in a series of best-of-three matches. The first player to win two games will take a series. If a player loses a match, they’re not out yet, they instead move to the consolation bracket, where they could potentially come back to win the entire tournament. If a player loses two matches they are out of the running for the finals. The map pool and prizes for the StarCraft II portion of the Global Battle.net Invitational is as follows:

Xel'Naga Caverns
Shakuras Plateau
The Shattered Temple
Antiga Shipyard
Abyssal Caverns

First place - $50,000
Second place - $25,000
Third place - $10,000

Two rotating teams of shoutcasters will bring you all of the action; Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski will be paired up with his hetero nerd life partner Nick "Tasteless" Plott, and Sean "Day[9]" Plott will dual-cast with JP McDaniel.

"Sean "Day[9]" Plott will dual-cast with JP McDaniel."

WHY? I can understand Day9, but was no one else available? JP does fine as a host, but his commentary is lacking to say the least; this will certainly be a less enjoyable event with him aboard.

A major tournament on these maps, should be forbidden. Time for MVP to start practicing some more 2 raxing I guess.

Man, there is only really Shakuras and maybe Antiga on that list that are playable. Shattered Temple and Abyssal have the same problems when close spawns are not removed. Then there is XC, which is consistently been cycling out of popularity because its way to easy for Terran or Toss to turtle on three base with a gold.
Never make a hydralisk.

foreign hope is going to rest on Dimaga and Sen
E-Sports is competitive video gaming with a spectator fan base. Do not take the word "Sports" literally.

Oh man, terrible maps.

And tbh I rather see Husky than JP. Husky + Day9 FTW.

Wow 50k first prize! What was the prize money last year, I don't remember. MVP could make close to 100k this weekend! Go mvp go!

Ah was hoping for Dusky, still I'm sure JP will do an admirable job.

The map pool is pretty interesting...it could be worse, but as long as we have no close positions I think we'll survive..?

So uh.......Blizzard, why are you so stubborn when it comes to maps?

Do you not realize that the entire competitive community hates your maps? Please use GSL maps.
