Hype for this. So far every game I've seen everyone has played into the 'newness' of these maps, trying to play them the way Barrin et al say they should be played or just playing 8m stats. Can't wait to see some people try to play them creatively

I think a lot of it will depend on how much each player prepares specifically for FRB maps. In the interview with areaSaroVati, he mentioned that he believes he'll have an advantage over bigger name players since he can afford to take more time preparing on FRB maps with his teammates.

Also I want to give a shoutout to all of our competitors who played at IPL! Unfortunately, none made it to the final day of play but there were some impressive results. Thanks so much for agreeing to play during such a hectic time of the eSports year!

In particular, a shoutout to vileIllusion who won series against 3 Code S players in Oz, Zenio and Ryung! He's a streaming madman and an amazing Terran player so make sure to check him out at www.twitch.tv/Illusioncss . Not to mention he's a youngin' so we can expect huge things out of him in the future!

Omg Ganzi and Rainbow!!! =D

Even if FRB doesn't end up being a good fix for the game, or doesn't get applied mainstream, it's so awesome to see the community rally around a potential idea and getting such awesome names competing on these maps, trying 'em out for the betterment of starcraftkind

Yeah I totally agree pacifist...to see that the community can still be so strong and willing to accept crazy new ideas is totally awesome.

In other news, I just ordered a 3.5 ghz i7 2600k processor along with 16gb of ram so the stream quality is going to be top notch!!!! I'm really excited to see how it turns out :D

Folks, those of you with Twitter PLEASE help spread the FRB concept and this tourney around by following and retweeting/mentioning @FRBGrandTourney! Link to this thread, the bracket image, anything at all! The more exposure we can create, the more likely great players and sponsors will pay attention to us in the future if/when we put on a second, bigger/better event! We're at 47 followers but I'd like to hit at least 100 before we go live at 8PM EST on Friday night!

Thanks to our sponsorship from Peepmode we've upped the prize pool to 200$ and have a head start on the FRB GT 2 if the community has interest! Everyone should check out http://www.peepmode.com/ to see more information about this awesome mod and search 'peepmode' in the custom games menu to see all the maps that support it. There are a bunch of really useful observing tools, KOTH tools and betting systems to make playing FRB games with people a lot of fun. Be sure to thank Icculus for supporting the FRB GT and FRB in general. :D

I can't wait to watch these games -- I wish that were 8am EST, but that's just me being selfish.

@ Senex/Pull/Yaki -- In case you care, some of the updated information found in this thread's OP has not made it over to the z33k page (like the upped prize pool). I doubt you are going to pull a switcheroo and pocket the extra 50 (especially because that doesn't divide well by 3), but you should probably stay consistant across your media especially if you might plan furhter events.
