The pool is a bit small though, could've added Tal'Darim LE + 1 GSL map such as Terminus or something | ||

I think I still like his casting last Blizzcon with Day9. I agree. Am glad Nestea and MVP are on opposite sides of the bracket. Among the first round matches, the closest to call is probably Naniwa vs Major, both who have been practicing in the MVP and TSL house respecitvely for many weeks. That should be a very closely fought series! | ||

All of them except Abyssal caverns has seen a lot of tournament use and I don't actually remember lots of complaints about them.

God, I thought Blizzard were just being cautious when they take their sweet ass time to fix balance changes, add in features that the sc2 community is yelling for(replay sharing, lan, etc.....), ridiculous APM change, but to add those ridiculous maps to a tournament this big? Now I know some of them are really just stupid as hell and hoping that we will just concede to their fucking stupid method. | ||

There is not a single map that is even remotely a 'zerg map' Shakuras has over 55% win ratio for TvZ and Shattered/Xelnaga are close to 60%. Antiga is ok. Abyssal is just terrible. | ||

Well if he makes it that far I'll already be super impressed with his play since he probably had to roll through Naniwa and Sen to get there. And ZvT is Nestea's worst MU (though his worst far outstrips most player's best MU), so though it would definitely be an upset, if he makes it through Sen and Naniwa, I wouldn't rule him out. That said, I don't expect him to make it past Naniwa and Sen. I'm hoping someone will impress me in this tournament though =D | ||

Xel'Naga Caverns = decent Shakuras Plateau = good The Shattered Temple (close positions) = HORRIBLE The Shattered Temple (not close spawns) = good Antiga Shipyard = good Abyssal Caverns = meh Since it is Blizzard I'm going to assume close positions is enabled and hence I cross my fingers that everyone spawns cross map on this. | ||
