Let's hope they are sane enough to realize that they need to use the MLG versions of Antiga and Shattered. Close positions would be such a joke in a prestigious tournament like this.

Well as if 2 toss wasn't enough, the map pool pretty much seals that one will not win.

It's lame that there are only two Protoss, and they didn't invite Genius.

Maps ain't going to change. Blizzard likes to shove things like this in our faces. I'd be surprised if they even disallowed close position.

Oh shit, I cracked the code. They're going to have the winner of the tournament play Jaedong. They wanted to make the SC2 guys look good with stupid maps ^_^

This seemed all good unitl i saw the maps.

WTF?! BLIZZARD WTF?!!?!?

You have said that the ladder maps shouldn't be in tournaments, yet you keep adding them in. Dont you care for your tournaments? Is everything you say to be taken with a grain of salt?

I dont fucking understand anymore.... Well well we are going to see how you 2 rax like a boss on Abyssal Caverns atleast...

RIP Zerg. You have a losing winrate on Taldarim Altar vs Terran. Think about Shattered Temple close positions, and Abyssal Caverns LOL.

Dual Sight: 55% in favour of Terran
Taldarim Altar: 61% in favour of Terran

I fucking HOPE IMMvp says 'I'm forfeiting my 1st round match because there is no reason for me to play on these awful maps and I want to focus on GSL, where we have Daybreak.'

"Our maps aren't meant for tournament usage." Remember that one Blizzard? Is there even a SINGLE tournament that uses close-spawn Shattered and Abyssal Caverns at the pro level? Blizzard is so out of touch it is giving me a migraine thinking of how they could come to such a decision to include some of these maps.

God, how awesome would it be if they were like "...oh and you'll be joined in the tournament by four other players...".
