Hello everyone! IGN Pro League is thrilled to bring you the FINALS of 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. =)

We are continuing with the third place match and the finals for the IGN Pro League Ye Olde Map Tournament

QXC as I have said during this whole tourney, you can't replace the experience he has with these maps.

If any two players could make a really entertaining finals on these old maps in a TvT, it is these two. I expect to see some hilariously awesome strats.

SC2 has been out for how long now? 2.5 years? Can we please take it easy on "back in the beta"?
2 racks is a 2 racks, not the "zatic build"

Please forgive me, Doa. I love you but you gotta drop the beta hipster thing. It's getting "Olde"

This is still by far my favorite tourney to watch this year, though

I was thinking.. wasn't there some stream where chat would always go crazy yelling at someone to scan the island? Then I was like wait, that was qxc! How silly that he winds up in that scenario in this final :p.

im sad. this isnt the completely imbalanced and retarded desert oasis. you cant jump directly behind mins, and the isle along the side of the main (where you can nuke from (hi idra) and you can tank the main) has been removed.

edit:

they are using 10/10 map, not the original 4/10 map

Damn, was hoping for Kulas Ravine.

Also, this tournament was AWESOME. Fricken hilarious.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

This, a thousand times this. When I first read the olde map tournament thread I thought it was an april fools joke, but was delighted to see it wasn't! I definitely enjoyed the whole tournament.
