WE'RE GOING LIVE AT 4:00
STREAM LINK : http://www.teamliquid.net/video/userstream.php?user=Pholon
If needed you can contact me as "Pholon" on ICC during the event. The IRC channel will be #TL-Arena which we will also read. Please use this to chat as the stream chat will be turned off.
The stage is set, the lights are dimmed and we’re only hours away from the kickoff of TL Arena. It’s time we announce the players and put up the handicap and map polls.
The hero of the evening is:

To these players: be in channel op TL-Arena at the designated time/date. Remember, we at all times reserve the right to kick you out. Don’t show up on time, cause lag, don’t have AH on and out you are. We’re fortunate enough to have a bunch of backups so we can afford to be real dicks about this.
The first 8 reserves are:+ Show Spoiler +
TSL-Alur, D+, T, Denmark
Iamdisco, C, T, Netherlands
Peeano, D, Z, Netherlands
Rolster, D, Z, China
Fatalis, D, Z, USA
]-[ero, D, Z, USA
Strayline, D+, Z, USA
Swft, D, Z, Sweden

If someone drops out we’ll let the first one on the list in and work downwards etc.
Now, onto more interesting things! The maps TL will get to pick out are:
+ Show Spoiler [Map poll] +
We've done a bit of work on the handicaps. We nerved the Probe sac from 12 to 8. No Attack ups and No Defend ups are combined into No Forge ups and we ditched W-mode. This leaves 2 open spots that we will fill with TL-submissions. If he draws a TL submission once we'll get the first one from the poll, then second etc...
We selected to following HCs you can vote for:
+ Show Spoiler [Handicap poll] +
Poll: Handicap?
(Vote): No Corsairs
(Vote): Double Tech
(Vote): Allied AI
(Vote): Kill 1 Initial Peon
(Vote): Compulsive Merging
Explanation: + Show Spoiler +
No Corsairs = Contestant doesn't get to make any Corsairs.
Double Tech = 2 Tech buildings are required before contestant can make the unit (i.e. 2 Cy-cores before Goon)
Allied AI = Opponent gets an Allied cpu (ie. 1 v 1 + cpu)
Kill 1 Initial Peon = Contestant has to kill 1 of his initial peons before starting to mine
Compulsive Merging = Whenever contestant has 2 or more Templars he must merge them
Double Tech = 2 Tech buildings are required before contestant can make the unit (i.e. 2 Cy-cores before Goon)
Allied AI = Opponent gets an Allied cpu (ie. 1 v 1 + cpu)
Kill 1 Initial Peon = Contestant has to kill 1 of his initial peons before starting to mine
Compulsive Merging = Whenever contestant has 2 or more Templars he must merge them
These polls will close right as the event starts. I've editted the original topic to include the new handicaps. Let's do some voting!
