I hope they actually practice for this and showcase both the current meta and how to break it with something new.

Pretty exciting move from WTL. Unfortunately whoever picked the map pool didn't look too hard into maps, because half of the map pool is kind of bad. Using any Blizzard 2v2 maps at all is particularly a terrible choice. There have been many maps submitted to TL.net Team Map Contests that would be better here.

I don't see them using any map outside of the official ladder pool, ever. This has been consistent since WTL started

I gues they invited 12 wtl players and the 4 mentioned above and each of them can choose a Partner to play together

There is a bad news that everyone of WTL production team is sick, and the the last round of regular WTL season is delayed. I wonder if this 2v2 match may also be delayed as well. Anyway I hope they will have a quick recovery.

Kinda what I deduced, so the players selected from WTL can pick their team mates?

Froim the Liquipedia page : " Every team is composed of two players. For WTL teams, their players should be from their current roster. For invited teams, their teammates can be chosen without any limitation. "

Ok thanks.

Roster has been updated minus 2 team, Invictus and SSLT, and Clem not playing for Team Liquid. And it looks like HM, Showtime and Bunny doesnt want to play so WTL has replaced them with other invited players.

Thanks to SCBoy for organizing this! Any English streams available?
