I'm pretty happy about the format which will even out how often each map appears, but slightly disappointed not to get to see another bo15.

Hopefully VODS of both BSTV & Nogret will be on youtube sometime shortly after! The BSTV Part on Fed 18th is perfect but unfortunately the rest is kind of poor for us working folk (cry) But I will for sure watch every single vod and would absolutely love to listen to the casual map discussion on noregrets stream as well!

I appreciate the fact that you're using Bo5s which gives us a better understanding of the maps! <3

Please tell me someone will have a list of spoiler-free VOD's for this. I love the BasetradeTV guys but their YouTube page isn't great for avoiding spoilers when navigating.

This is awesome, thank you BTTV, Nate, Crank, NoRegret and Emil! I'm glad to see Cranks name in there too, among some of my other favs!

Also, thanks to the pros for playing, this is great.

Update:

Korean tournament will now be played ONLINE and not from the BaseTradeTV House. Some folks have gotten sick, and we don't want to get the guests sick. Everything should still be the same with the exception of Major being replaced by NoRegret. It's also sad that we won't be able to conduct interviews as we had hoped, but we are working on a back up plan for that.

The Korean tournament is starting 6 hours from now, but the judges still have two days to choose the maps. What gives?

No, maps will all be chosen by the time this starts! Get hyped!

edit: At least I assume they will be since this tournament is using TLMC maps and it starts in 6 hours....
