Hello everyone! I can't tell you how pleased I am to be able to announce this! Starting on April 6th, 2012, Barrin, Pull and myself will be hosting the :

[image loading]

Yes! The very first tournament featuring the FRB maps created by Barrin has started! This month-long tournament will feature 16 of the best players from the Team Liquid community, fighting it out for fame, glory, and bragging rights over the foes they've crushed. The information below is the barest bones outline, but if you're interested in seeing the full details check out the Tournament's main thread at:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=324001

The Bare Bones:

The FRB Grand Tournament is a 16 player, 4 week long tournament starting on April 6th, 2012. The schedule goes as follows:

Week 1, April 6th to the 12th : The Round of 16, each match a Best of 1. Live Broadcast on Friday, April 13th.
Week 2, April 13th to the 19th : The Round of 8, each match a Best of 3. Live Broadcast on Friday, April 20th.
Week 3, April 20th to the 26th : The Round of 4, each match a Best of 3. Live Broadcast on Friday, April 27th.
Week 4, April 27th to March 3rd : The Finals, a Best of 5. Live Broadcast on Friday, March 4th.

The VoD's of all games will be posted on www.youtube.com/wiseoldsenex and www.youtube.com/pullsc

All games will be broadcast live on: www.twitch.tv/wiseoldsenex and www.twitch.tv/pullsc at 8pm Eastern on each Friday.

If you're interested in competing post in the Tournament thread or send a message to OldManSenex, Pull or Barrin. We'll get you in contact with your opponent and let you set up a time during that week when it works best for the two of you to play, with the replays due the Thursday before that week's broadcast.



I encourage everyone to check out the main Tournament thread and post your thoughts! The more popularity and better players we can get involved in the project, the better it will be for FRB as a whole.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll all tune in to the FRB Grand Tournament!

Don't let that deter you! As I just updated in the post above (sorry for not being clear the first time ) the players have the option to play their games at any time during the week that works for both them and their opponent. We'll be doing the broadcasts with replays.

is there actually some exciting replays or do most of these games have a boring 10 minutes start?

That's one of the issues that we were discussing while casting/watching yesterday. The action does begin later, which makes sense because everything is slowed down a bit.

This is partly due to the metagame not being adjusted yet, and the fact that income is lower.

I hope once we learn 6m a bit better, action will pickup at the start.

You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.

Amazing, one man stepped over the boundary from thought to action. Fixing the 12 year-in-the-making debacle that is Starcraft 2. I commend you on your passion, Barrin. Exactly why I love this community.

Blizzard, who cares more for this game? You...or us?

OK, First a question or two, then a shameless self-promotion!

I was playing from the 7m channel yesterday and I had a lot of people say they would really like to play a team map for 6m.

If I were to make a custom team map for 6m,
Q: How many bases should a 6m 4v4 map have? I was thinking in the range of 32 - 44 bases ( 4 - 5&1/2 per player)
Q: Are there any plans to include an "official" team map pool for 6m, now or in the distant future?
Q. I have an idea for the layout, but are there any special considerations one might think of for 6m team games?

Self-promotion; Check out my 6m map "Redstone Fortress" on NA. I think it plays out a lot better than the retro-fitted 8m maps from the ladder pool, but of course I'm biased :D

For those who haven't tried 6m give it a shot. It leads to really fun macro games. The last game I played was one of the funnest in recent memory where my opponent and myself topped our supply out at 140, and played the majority of the game between 50 to 70 food, while having to battle over 6 bases.
Here's the replay if you want to watch 2 diamond players PvT http://drop.sc/143400

@Fish, I agree. Not sure why your map and arrival are not receiving any love from Barrin.

I've played your map a lot already.

It's fun! :D Great map I must say!

Thanks for the love guys,

Also, I agree - imo Arrival is one of the maps that "gets it" in regards to proportionality and how 6m affects the sizing of the map, chokes, and expansion layouts. (take everything you know about 3rd bases and throw it out the window!) Notice how in Redstone I chose to make the main about 25% smaller than normal - thats all on purpose. Not to mention that Arrival has the coolest expansion blocking mechanic ever.

posting to say how much i enjoy these new maps and style of gameplay. :D

I am merely a high plat zerg player (will be diamond next season, we all know how the ladder ranking is kinda screwy) but find these games so much more exciting that standard ladder. I am usually on the 7m channel under the name ultimifier. my TL account was a typo so my name doesn't match unfortunately. If anyone ranging from gold to diamond (or even masters) would like to play some games and try different strategies shoot me a PM @ ultimifier 171.

bragging aside I have beaten 2 masters players on devolution (1 was off race however), on foreveralone's stream as well (see page 75 one of my games was casted) and these new maps seem to fit my playstyle really well.

to conclude THANK YOU BARRIN as this is a great idea and even if it doesn't get implemented, it will definately gain traction from all the fun games that are resulting from your great idea.
do or do not, there is no try
