Even if they want to put only ladder maps, Tal'Darim is much better than Xel'naga, Abyssal or Shattered temple. | ||

MVP is the overwhelming favorite, especially with these maps. Nestea will stand no chance against him. =/ | ||

Why aren't the prizes for all the placements listed? I remember last time people who finished in the top half got something like $1000. In any event, the maps are a joke. It really goes to show that Blizzard doesn't care too much about progressing the game as an esport. (I'm not saying they don't care at all, but they really are showing that they aren't pushing for it). Not only are the maps bad, but they have also said in the past that they think the maps for the ladder are not necessarily good for professional play, but they need to appeal to a wider audience. Nevertheless they host a professional tournament and have "casual" maps. (I don't want to find one of the sources as they have said it a few times, but I believe one is on AskJoshy's channel where CatZ interviews Dustin Browder) Edit: Omg... 2 protoss. D: | ||

Regardless of the maps MVP would probably win the entire thing anyways, nestea had a pretty bad record against MVP and I don't see it changing at blizzcon. | ||

Nestea has an extremely high chance of beating MVP. Even 50-50. Did you watch their recent GSL match it was 3-2 MVP's favor and game 4 could have soooo easily gone either way. Most of MVP - Nestea record is from maps even worse than this tourneys map pool. | ||

The map pool is pretty interesting...it could be worse, but as long as we have no close positions I think we'll survive..? Oh we definatly will have close positions. Remember the EU Invitational Naniwa-Ret game? Thank god NaNiwa ranted in the final interview about them playing the wrong map. | ||
