they removed the maps that are seen as most imbalanced right now.

I thought it was because of this at first but then there's lost temple's infamous cliff drops which is far worst(imo). Also Scrap station for zerg.

Look at the dates of the TL Opens for EU and NA respectfully. Registration is on those days.

Scrap station isn't really zerg favored anymore....

But LT the drops can be bad at the cliffs yes but its not that bad especially compared to maps like Delta/Steppes.

Thanks for responding, I have more clarity now about the vision of TSL and its intentions to become an international tournament. I still can't say I'm happy about this change, though. I'm also curious as to what the stance of the general TL public would be if feedback were invited on the idea of whether to include koreans before the decision were made. I'm sure it would have been controversial.

I'm disappointed about the tournament, sure, but I think there's something larger for me lurking behind this -- maybe I'm just some nostalgic conservative at heart, but I really don't like the direction teamliquid is going with its intended vision of growth and expansion. I think I liked everthing here a little bit better when it felt like a smaller, tight-knit community of people who loved some obscure ten year old game. With the BW scene starting to feel pretty different to me now -- everyone talking about and playing SC2, considerable stream issues for brood war matches, players retiring, teams dissolving, the whole match fixing scandal, not to mention Blizzard vs. Kespa and all that related shit -- even subtle changes on TL (like the facebook/twitter/youtube buttons, TL getting a sponsor, a headquarters in New York) have been increasingly making me feel like both the game and community I love are gradually becoming something I will no longer enjoy. I love broodwar and I love TL and I'd hate to see it ruined by well-intentioned visions of growth and progress.

Remains to be seen. Happy new year everyone.

Honestly dude, what you're saying is just the tired "the small, independent thing I love is growing up / becoming popular / getting sponsors / getting money" argument. I've heard the same thing in the context of bands, TV shows, movies, you name it. Are the times a-changin'? You bet. Is it for the better? I think so. You may disagree, but for the scene as a whole the international unity and popularity that SC2 has been bringing is a net positive.

I'm happy to see these big decisions made for TSL3, and I certainly hope Team Liquid continues to be the face of the international gaming community. I think it's doing what it takes to make that happen.

What's the format of the tournament? Single elimination all the way? Group stages at the beginning? Double elimination?

Are you concerned with the brackets for the TL Opens filling up too fast? The Craft Cup, a $20 tournament, caps out at 1024 players. Why would a satellite to a $34000 tournament cap out at 512?

I would like to know, what would the times be for the US ones? I live in British Columbia, and I work from 10 to 6:30 PST, getting home at around 7 or so PST. Would I be able to compete or would I be outside the times? Post answer here or PM me, or both, doesn't matter, I will try and keep up with the thread.

Sounds like I would be. Kinda sucks that most tourneys are on Saturdays I'll never get to attend unless they're Sunday.

I must say I am really pumped for the TLS 3.
The second one was epic and I expect the third to even surpass it :-D

What I am wondering though about the point system:

Being 16th twice is worth more than being fifth once?
I understand the idea behind the system (reward players who play constantly well), but I wonder if e.g. placing fifth isn't actually worth more than scoring 16th twice.

there is no 1 by 1 ranking below 4th. 5th-8th are equal, just as 9th-16th are.
5th -8thjust means lost in 1/4-finals (round 6 in a 512 player bracket) and 9th-16th means lost in 1/8-finals (round 7 in a 512 player bracket).
so all it actually means is that reaching the 6th round twice is worth more than reaching the 7th round once, which I think is fair, as it rewards consistency over having a lucky draw once

I have a question to ask.

Koreans/Chinese were not allowed to participate in previous TSLs because of the skill of the former and the lag issues of the latter. BUT, SEn and F91 were allowed to play from outside of China. So, I am asking, why don't we allow Chinese and Koreans to play IF they can communicate with the admins and other players?

I'm just curious about this, but AFAIK (haven't kept up with the rules) a foreigner is automatically qualified in GSL Code A tournament if he wins a major foreign tournament. Do you know if the TSL3 qualify as a major foreign tournament to gomtv?

I guess this is more of a question to gomtv's side but if it does count, that just makes winning even better.
