This is amazing, a BO9/BO15. Maybe Blizz will consider pushing for BO9 in more tournaments if this goes well :D!?

Now if only they'd use some of the good maps that come from the TL Map Contest ;D

(◕‿◕✿) Hopefully one day a decent caster http://www.youtube.com/LaughNgamez (◠‿◠✿)

they should

We will be working/coordinating with the TLMC7 and when they have their top 15 finalists/maps, those will make up our tournament map pool.

Announcing the first 4 invited players:
(T)Beastyqt, (Z)Lambo, (P)Theo, and(T)Lillekanin

We feel that Beastyqt vs Lambo will be a good display of what TvZ looks like in general, as both players are quite capable of the late game as well as early aggression, combined with the fact that both are very intelligent at using map mechanics to their advantage.

Theo vs Lillekanin is a somewhat mystical match up that, during the beta, showed us the only use of battlecruiser vs carrier/tempests. The best part was how often these two would win over the other, very back and forth, using the same turtle strategies. This combined with their very unconventional games, and Lillekanins very unconventional play style, I think will give us a great stress test of the new maps.

Announcing the next 4 invited players:
(P)MaNa, (Z)Nerchio, (P)Harstem & (P)puCK


Mana and Nerchio will clearly showcase some of the best that Poland has to offer, not to mention extremely great players for this particular match up. We've seen both succeed and fail in our various cups and tournaments, Nerchio being the king of the weekly cups and Mana showing up and kicking ass for the bigger ones. However the thing we're looking most forward to, is both players adapted really quickly to the map "DETOX" (by Avex) that we threw into our map pool, and were able to play it in unique ways. This is what we want to see when testing new maps!

Puck and Harstem will provide some great PvP, our only regret is that we'll have to bounce back and forth on servers to handle it. Puck's PVP is some of the best NA has to offer right now, and Harstem is a tier 1 player (*cough*). In all seriousness though, we've seen both players handle micro in intense situations, and unlike Gods such as Parting, we don't expect them to "ruin" a map test contest by only blink all-in on every single map.

Next Four:

(T)MaSa, (P)Neeb, (Z)Snute & (T)uThermal

It had to be obvious we'd grab Neeb for one of the various matches. Recently, we got to watch him play vs Masa for the Dreamhack qualifiers, and it was a really great series, and we can't wait to watch this rematch.

Snute and uThermal are both very interesting players, who constantly sway from Godlike to "just really good" status in Starcraft. uThermal often showing early game aggression (hellbat pushes anyone?) can be a really scary player to play against, whereas Snute, if he can get to the late game, almost can't be beat. Their clashing styles combined with these new maps should really stress test the way each map can be played, and that's what we really want to see in this tournament

My guesses for the last two matches:
(Z)TLO / (Z)VortiX vs (Z)FireCake

I think Firecake is banned from BtTV tournaments after that "won't be playing with lag against Koreans" drama.

The overall bracket will be represented by this order, but here are the dates & matches:
(Since Bo9's can really vary in time, we make no estimates on when the second match begins. It will always be after a short break once the first series concludes)

Monday, May 23 5:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) (T)Beastyqt vs (Z)Lambo & (P)Harstem vs (P)puCK

Tuesday, May 24 2:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) (Z)Scarlett vs (Z)Bly & (Z)Snute vs (T)uThermal

Wednesday, May 25 5:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) (P)Theo vs (T)Lillekanin & (T)MaSa vs (P)Neeb
*Note: should match 1 finish early, Neeb cannot begin to play until at least 2 hours after the designated start due to school

That makes sense, hadn't heard about that before.

The last two match ups are the mirror matches featuring (T)Bunny vs (T)Kelazhur & (Z)Scarlett (who hasn't confirmed, so we have (Z)TLO on standby) vs (Z)Bly

Bunny competed in, and even placed second in our TvT only tournament shortly after Legacy's launch. Lucky for us the meta of TvT has not changed drastically in the months since then, so we're hoping to see Bunny kick some ass once again. More recently, Kelazhur has been performing well overall, but his TvT has looked quite nice (Watching him knock polt down to loser's bracket in the first season of Ting). We're hoping to see them abuse every cliff, ledge, and drop area on the new maps :-)

Bly vs Scarlett, both have played more ZvZ's than we can count, and while Scarlett's ZvZ has bounced around quite a bit, we've seen Bly kick ass at this match up ever since the first beta tournament we ran for LOTV. We're hoping to see lots of early pools, nydus worms, and mutalisks on all the new maps!
