I don't think it's a joke. IGN posted something about this some weeks ago, didn't they?

Gonna be awesome. Player lineup is cool too, finally a "bigger" tournament for NA scene only! Would be cool if IGN tries to establish something like the German EPS for NA after this tournament. Although I would've rather see that lineup in a tournament with a normal mappool. This tournament should be full with pro players that played during beta etc and are now retired or not prolevel anymore :D

Incineration Zone best map ever... don't have any idea why it never got any traction in tournament play!

Hoping for a Thor drop on Lost Temple, just for old times' sake.

Soo, this is the tournament that DoA conceived of eh? Pretty sure we won't see a Zerg winning, but hey, will be a fun deviation from the normal tournament style.

The tourney will get boring if Zerg tries to all in every game (which is probably the best strategy). The most glorious part of watching old sc2 was seeing a Zerg win a macro game of Steppes of war. EGIdrA vs IMMvp GSL open season3 game 2? Chills.

Before we all start weeping for the swarm let's not forget that the game has been patched many times since these old maps were in circulation. The results may not be as one sided as you may expect.

Patches were made in view of current maps and such. Kulas ravine still sucks regardless

I remember an IPL cast where catsPJs and doa (I think) thought of this and were very adamant about making it happen.

Also the time stamp on TL says april 2nd so it's not allowed to be an april fools joke, they're officially bound to make this happen as far as im concerned.
