I dunno - there's actually not much info so I'm finding it hard to be legit.

It seems legit, just incredibly sudden. Anyhow, i'm there.
Map pool is shitty though, I'll email an admin and see if I can get him to fix it.

1st place (1v1) - $6000
1st place (4v4) - $7000
I think it's legit guys, there was discussion of this tournament last year when I was with cybergamer and I attended an AOC media event there. They talked to me about running it for them but I had to go back to Canberra when it was scheduled and it ended up being postponed. The prizepool was smaller at that time.

I've been trying to contact an admin about this but have received no reply, hope you've been having better luck.

Where did you get those figures from DeL? I can't seem to find them on the site.

...4v4? $7000? REALLY?
Huh... It's weird because I just imagine 4 players deciding to all go Zerg and 6pool and win themselves a tidy sum. That would be pretty hilarious

I got a response from an admin, he says they will discuss the problem of the maps.

Great! Defiately the map pool stinks atm.
Ask them to fill in some details as well
*Like what are exactly the prizes?
*Bringing own equipment
*End dates for registrations
*Update on registrations(however at this rate they be lucky to get 30 people not 300 that they intend lol) and who's coming "Famous Australian Gaming Teams"

With as much emphasis as i can put on this to the Admins themselves or anyone who talks to the admins:
The MLG map pool (perhaps with the exception of testbug as it hasn't been proven yet) is by far and away the most balanced map pool any tournament has ever seen ever ; PLEASE CONSIDER IT.
However if you do not agree with the modifications of the map pool i would strongly recommend using the TSL Qualifier (TLOpen) Map pool with of course replacing Lost Temple with Shattered Temple. These are all ladder maps that the community is accustomed to and can practice on with ease and don't really inhibit any race greatly.
