JazBas vs Sen
Mvp vs mOOnGLaDe

SEA got this, np!

Some of those matches sound really awesome.

Nestea vs BratOk (TSL?)Major vs Naniwa, Dimaga vs Killer seem like the best first round matches

omg r u kidding only 2 protoss?

omg lol are yo ukidding, i know you (Bliz) want to make it fair so that everyone has maps they know, but i'm pretty sure no tournament has really ever used abyssal caverns and it would be much safer to even use a map like taldarim altar which is in the ladder <_>

btw why is select korean, it shouuld be american flag since he is living in america currently no? (oh apparently it's cus of liquipedia)

Lol @the map pool. I can understand understand not having GSL map like dual sight or belshir beach but c'mon not even tal darim or terminus

They're only using ladder maps, but the fact that they're not using Tal'Darim Altar is mind boggling.

Would you be French if you lived in France but were born in the US?

... Okay seriously Blizzard, those ladder maps are going to flip this tournament upside down. There is a difference between laddering where its mostly 2 base timing pushes and competitive competition.

WTF there is absolutely no reason at all that they should be using these maps. Do they not want entertaining games for the fans?

It takes no amount of work to change the map pool but it makes the biggest difference in the world. Hopefully they change their mind.

That is a very generic situation. In this case, SeleCT is representing North America, so I don't think it was a terrible question, though I agree with it being a Korean flag.

Anyway... poor Brat_OK. Has to go against Nestea in the first round. I would love to see him win though. He barely gets any attention, and that would be a huge win for him, though unlikely.

The skill variance in the players is just enormous. There are no contenders against MVP and nestea.
This, and the map pool makes for a stupid tournament.
Doesn't mean it won't be entertaining, but still, blizzard is terrible at.... Everything.

I dont understand why blizzard insists on using those maps... they always talk about how their maps are not meant for tournament play but they insist on using them.. and they use some of the WORSE maps too. No Tal darim either.
