Hopefully not a joke because I actually thought this would be hilarious. CatsPajamas and DOA were talking about hosting a tournament like this, I believe. Yeah?

Looking forward to it.

I will destroy Pluto if this is fake, and send the broken pieces of it right into the IGN headquarters.

CatZ so needs to be invited to this. If there is anyone that can abuse the ever living shit out of every one of these maps, it's that man.

Since it now past midnight EST and onto April 2nd in the U.S., I can confirm this is a real thing!

Demuslim should take it even though his criptonite is Violet. The maps just favour terran too much.

Hahahaha! Excellent choice of maps!

I can see we think along the same lines as far as choosing old maps goes :D

excerpt:

(this was posted just 1 and a half hours before this thread OP)

All 7 of the maps I chose are in this 8-map pool, the last one was one of the 3 others I was also considering.

(I look better if we don't tell people these are 7/8 of the beta maps, so let's not do that).

Jungle Basin has a backdoor which is imbalanced obviously. You're trying to fix the game, not make it worse.

Blistering Sands, Incineration Zone, and Kulas Ravine have back doors too :o

Not one that isn't blocked by rocks

edit: you could balance jungle basin if you put rocks at the nat... hmm.

Glad the response has been so positive! Can't blame us for wanting to mess with people a bit by announcing on 4/1!

I'm actually really psyched that this thing is becoming a reality! Hardcore, ultra high-level tournaments are great, but I feel like we should never forget that the main purpose of Starcraft is to have fun! :D

Can't wait to cast!
