Great, I will sabotage this by not watching the same way I did with the last one. I prefer tournaments that simply let the best player win regardless of nationality and I find these "lets ban the competition to get the players in the top spot that we'd like to see there" tournaments to be very racist. Not exactly the first time a german has been hyper sensitive about race.... :') | ||

However, lets be real for a moment: how is it that the creative culture uses a less creative map pool than south korea's Kespa did? I think we need to ask ourselves whether we can't show the world that we're able to take a risk or two. Again, real talk: who didn't love the custom Kespa maps? Who wasn't big enough of a nerd to get excited about them? | ||

Weird claim in general! Not sure why its so wrong for a tournament to be regional? Hopefully this tournament establishes the best american sc2 player through the extensive use of ladder qualification and obviously the tourney itself! Would be nice to see a European version of this too, just to gage the overall strength of the Euro player base. Not sure why this would be particularly 'racist', its like claiming the European championships are racist to other footballing nations :D | ||

Who wasn't big enough of a nerd to get excited about them? This is what I am trying to decide. An argument could be made however that we would see more interesting games and it would be more difficult to learn your opponents builds from running into them on ladder if we were to use non-ladder maps. I'm considering a mix of the two. | ||

Gameheart will be used for this tournament. I'll connect with you if we're gonna do any weird maps. | ||

I would pay to see a map pool that includes all sc2 maps ever. I'd love to see how new strategies and ancient maps intersect. | ||
