After more than 3 months of absence, TeamLiquid Arena is back for another episode. For all the new people, the concept is pretty easy: We take a top-notch StarCraft player, burden him with some handicaps to limit his play and throw him into a pit filled with noobies while the rest of us sit back and watch whether he can come out alive. For more info on the concept and rules, check out http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Pholon/TLArena/Overview
The Date
The games will be played live on Sunday, Jun 27 7:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) and I'm happy to announce that Grobyc is returning as commentator. We will announce the stream link nearer to date.
The Hero
No Arena without a hero, and we are happy to announce a top-notch Terran player for this episode:

MorroW. As you will recall, MorroW was the #2 ranked player in the PokerStrategy.com TSL ladder, finishing below only IdrA. Being the number one Swedish Terran, and one of the best players Europe has to offer, MorroW will take on 7 newbies in this event.
Participation
Of course no Arena is complete without a healthy dose of fodder, as well as some custom handicaps and maps.
Fodder
Are you pretty bad at StarCraft? Do you want to take on Morrow? Click here to fill out the form. You must be C+ or lower, having, as of today, played -preferably- 50 or more games on your ICC account. Fodder will be selected randomly and announced in the live topic. Player will be required to play with AH on - If you lag, we kick you out.
Handicaps
We did our best to select a couple of good handicaps to wear our hero down, and give the fodder more of a chance to take him down. Click the spoiler below to check them out. Additionally, of course, we'll take your suggestions! Post in this topic your ideas and we'll poll them before the show
