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
When: Saturday, May 12 12:00am GMT (GMT+00:00) (we will also have a European re-broadcast as usual at Saturday, May 12 5:30pm GMT (GMT+00:00))
Format
This single-elimination tournament features 16 players from the North America server and is a best of 5 format. These matches are being played for third place and of course, the finals. Third place receives $200, second gets $350, and first place will take home $500!

A zerg will come third and a terran will win. Stunning prediction I know.
|
Two terrans in the finals, would not have expected this!!!!! 
I loved this tournament btw, good lolz all around with the maps. Picking qxc to win.
|
Come on illusion! you got this
|
even with those maps, it's quite surprising to see qxc in the finals after beating Violet.
|
|
QXC as I have said during this whole tourney, you can't replace the experience he has with these maps.
|
All I want to see in the finals are good games and qxc terran forcefield illusion's ramp on stepps.
|
Says this is live.... hoping that's not a typo carry-over from the previous threads. Would <3 <3 <3 this being live!
|
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.

|
That's good news!!! Live is best! <3 YOMT!
|
this has been a great tourney. not the best time for PST, but still great nonetheless. thanks.
|
i love these maps with only 8 total expo's (including mains). such a different game. great tourney guys!!!
|
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
|
|
qxc's got this, too much experience!
|
The final is lacking Desert Oasis

3/4 games have had Reaper Speed. What a call back to the OLD days lol
|
qxc used a floating building to check island expansion... smart... and now a medivac
|
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.
|
QXC never disappoints, fucking hilarious series so far! Thanks again to IGN for this lol.
|
|
Damn, was hoping for Kulas Ravine.
Also, this tournament was AWESOME. Fricken hilarious.
|
|
YEA QXC!! nice play by both <3

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.
|
YES! QXC you beast! First he wins the Ye Olde Map Tournament, next he will win MLG Anaheim.
|
Solid tournament.
...
Can't fucking WAIT for IPL TAC3 though.
|
Woohoo! Fuck yeah QXC now go win an MLG ezpz Can't wait until you get some time to train full time since graduation's over.
|
So what's going to happen with the sleep / viOlet match?
|
Congrats QXC! I loved this tourney. Thanks ign!
|
Heh, it just seems fitting that qxc would win, considering his intelligent and creative play.
