Yeah I'm not going to lie I voted to keep it 50/50
It's a tough match to call either way.

I'm guessing you'll probably just use the blizzard ladder maps because that's what they have most likely been practicing on. Also it'll probably be loser picks? Although a set map pool could be pretty neat because then maybe they could plan specific strategies ahead of time. Then again there isn't much time to plan now with it being 2 days away haha. I in fact do have information on the map-pool. Naniwa and Scarlett negotiated a pool between them (I was there, there was much arguing). We have come up with a 5 map pool on refresh because we believe you'll see higher quality games that way (many pros have argued for smaller map pools for a while). They will be ladder maps yes. Each player vetoed a map until we were left with 1 starting map at which point players took turns picking the rest of the maps in order, so they can prepare for the entire series ahead of time instead of relying on loser picks. omg yes pre-determined map order, I expect some crazy high-level and entertaining games!

I'd be cheering for Scarlett though. I dunno, I mean, Stardust beat Naniwa the last two times they faced, and Scarlett just beat Stardust 3-1. I would be inclined to rate MC as perhaps slightly better than Naniwa; certainly more successful in WCS, and Scarlett recently beat him 2-0 in an absolutely dominant stomp. She's lost some games to much weaker protoss recently as well, don't get me wrong, but it's not like she can't beat a top level protoss. It's just "coinflippy". 1>2 and 3>1 so therefore 3>2 is only kind of applicable in mirror matches. If Stardust beats Nani and loses to Scarlett, that tells us just about nothing about Naniwa vs Scarlett tt

Map order announced
Map 1 - Star Station Map 2 - Bel'shir Map 3 - Frost Map 4 - Yeonsu Map 5 - Polar Night
**THE MAP POOL WILL THEN REFRESH**
The final two maps will be chosen in a loser picks format from a pool of 3. Scarlett vetoed Yeonsu while Naniwa vetoed Polar Night, leaving Star Station, Bel'shir and Frost to choose from.

Star Station or Star Station TE?

I wonder if we'll see much of a difference in play with the predetermined map order. I mean, they still are just playing all the maps anyway, and either way they'll have the builds and strats they know they want to do on those maps. I'm curious if they'll come in more prepared on each map or if it doesn't really matter.

Awesome! Think I want Scarlett to win but not too sure. Hope for some good games anyhow. Can't wait

Not going to lie, I did not vote (instert important break here to get behind the real meaning of this sentence) to keep it 50/50.

Very well made! Keep it up!

If someone can create this epic video to the Game of Thrones opening theme then there must be someone who can make an equally epic video for recording.
Please internet!

Naniwa as Isildur, Jaedong as Sauron, I could see it. Maybe TLO as Elrond. Throw in Kaelaris as Frodo, Khaldor as Gimli, Apollo as Gollum and put Soe on Smix's shoulders for a Galadriel, and we're in fucking business. Seriously, forget Sons of Starcraft, what we need is a community remake of LotR. I can probably do a fairly convincing Uruk.
Post your ideal role and qualifications here!

Really off topic, but did AngryJoe get his strikes removed?

Current bitcoin currency exchange in USD= $8608.04
“The drop in Bitcoin’s value in the last few days has been terrible, I’ve felt really uncertain,” an investor surnamed Chen told The Securities Times, a Chinese financial newspaper. Mr. Chen said he had bought five coins recently at a price of 3,100 renminbi, or about $510, apiece. On Wednesday the value dropped to three-quarters of that. “I thought I’d make a little short-term investment,” he said. “I didn’t think I’d lose money.”
