Hello everyone! IGN Pro League is thrilled to announce our newest tournament! The Ye Olde Map Tournament features some of the most amazing maps ever created by Blizzard and has a lineup of some of the best players in all of North America! This tournament is meant to be a fun throwback to the early days of StarCraft II and may serve as a way for us to see how far the strategy and skill have progressed since the first time players set foot on Scrap Station or Kulas Ravine. If you're a fan of nostalgia, not-so-balanced maps, and some fun StarCraft games, you better not miss this! Oh, and these games will be played LIVE for your entertainment. =)

No, it's okay. Slush knows how to make roaches.

Miles may have been an understatement in the case of the matches he played last night.

Oh man, it'll be fun to see qxc's strategies on these maps. And one of those two Zergs had better do a twelve drone rush on Steppes!

Wasn't that the map that everyone was saying "One day people will figure out this map but their just not good enough yet"? I remember Artosis talking about in the very early days of the GSL, saying it was like BW maps in it's complexity and that one day pros would figure out when to take out the rocks in middle.
