![[image loading]](https://imgur.com/QHluZ7e.png) It's that time again when the StarCraft map makers have been busy putting together their ideas and polishing off their maps for another Team Liquid Map Contest! The 13th edition of the map contest is already underway and WardiTV is once again very excited to be putting on the tournament phase. Due to ASUS ROG Qualifiers we have had to take a slightly different approach to the tournament than in past events : we will be running two European groups and two Korean groups, with a combined playoffs. Sadly our playoffs will also only be eight players instead of the twelve we have had for the recent tournaments. To make up for the lost series we will be playing BO3 in the group stage instead of BO2!
DatesGroup A (EU) - Tuesday, Jul 02 4:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) Harstem, MaNa,  Bly, Namshar,  KasGroup B (EU) - Wednesday, Jul 03 4:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)Reynor, souL, Clem, Elazer, HellraiserGroup C (KR) - Thursday, Jul 04 11:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)INnoVation, Bunny, Zest, Solar, +1 Group D (KR) - Friday, Jul 05 11:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)GuMiho, FanTaSy, Classic, soO, +1 Quarter Finals - Saturday, Jul 06 11:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)Semi-finals & Finals - Sunday, Jul 07 11:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)Streams  WardiTV |  TaKeTV

Line up looks good as well as map pool.
|
Can you swap soO and Inno so we have Team "Still drunk from HSC" in one Korean group? 
|
Good racial balance in the groups (which means that some race will probably unaccountably manage to go extinct before the playoffs).
|
Group A and B are balanced but Group B seems more stacked, I would have preferred Namshar or Bly in Elazer's place.

Man, Fantasy is looking hot in this tournament. Hope he will do so in GSL as well!
... and then he played TvT against Gumiho.

Hype train derailed before taking off.
Classic's PvT is really not very good atm from all I've seen.
|
Good enough to beat Gumiho it seems.
|
Inno so triggered. Not a single proper GG.
|
Namshar won the first game against soO because soO was in love with roaches. Teching up? Nope.
2-0...

Namshar just had a huge tech advantage and on a map as large as Cloud Monarchy soO had a terrible time trying to deny him economy.
So in short, a typical soO ZvZ.
|
soO's ZvZ has gone fully kaputt.

And people on Twitch literally flamed me because I told them soO weren't gonna have a bye xD
I was not expecting Namshar to win 3-0, but I thought he could have.

Well, I dare say this final was beyond underwhelming. Bit of a shame, but such is the way of PvP. Nice tournament regardless.
