It's been a while since we announced the finalists for the second TeamLiquid map contest and since then we've been hard at work polishing the maps as best we can. Thanks to the folks in our TL Strategy team, we've tested these maps thoroughly and have tried to break them as much as we possibly could. We took that feedback and let the mappers make some last minute adjustments - some big, some small - in order to create the strongest set of candidates we could present. Now it's time to let the public loose on these maps and determine which of these you like the best. The judging process begins on Thursday with the first of two TL Opens designed to play test the maps.

Currently the tournament will start at the round of 256 (subject to popularity!) and will be Bo1 until the Ro64 where matches will be Bo3. In departure to previous TL Opens, each semifinal will have different map sets so that we can maximize the number of maps showcased during the broadcasted portion of the tournament. The finals will be Bo5.

There will be a prize pool of $200 for this event, with $100 going to the winner. As with previous TL Opens, we will be allowing community casters to live cast games from the early rounds. If you want to do this, please PM Heyoka to get added to our list of accepted casters.
