In representation of this tournament, I wish all players good luck and all voyeurs a good time.

Highlights:

1. There are some players who think it is a requirement to make capital ships to win on Island Maps. Despite looking like he is about to be steamrolled and gay'd, Joekim comes back with mass Scourges from 5 gases to kill all of his opponent's Carriers, Scouts, and Corsairs.

2. This Terran plays Gorky Island like it is Lost Temple. He uses his scouting Barracks for support against the Shuttle in addition to landing a Siege Tank and two Vultures.

3. This Protoss goes for a good old fashion Photon Cannon rush on Gorky Island.

4. Semih showing us who is boss with an epic Zealot Spider Mine drag.

5. JoeKim using two wraiths to hunt for enemy shuttles, obviously showing he brainstormed how he would play on Island Maps.

6. JoeKim spreading out his Wraiths across the minimap for a contain on Neo Forbidden Zone.

7. A Terran decides to make a couple Valkyries for help against Mutalisks since he already has the necessary tech for Goliaths.

8. Another player who thinks making capital ships is a prerequisite in doing well on Island Maps. The Battlecruisers and Valkyries are not only Plagued but then Scourged to be finished off. 6 gas Scourges are a force to be reckoned with. The Terran had upgraded Yamato Cannon to kill the Nydus Canals.

9. A Zerg showing a fancy Scourge contain on this minimap, with two scourges spread out to two-hit kill any Shuttle.

10. Bakuryu nearly ends Karate's impressive Wraith harass when he Ensnares and destroys every single one of Karate's twelve Wraiths. Karate showed Leta-like micro vs Zerg the entire tournament.

11. Bakuryu makes 4 Nydus Canals so he can get to all of his expansions in a hurry.

12. Bakuryu laters uses the same Queen to negate the stimpack of Karate's M&M followup.

13. Karate takes the "Island" out of Island Map and replays it with Air Map. Karate uses Wraiths to punish Bakuryu's lack of anti air.

14. Bakuryu finally ends Karate's impressive Wraith harass when he Plagues Karate's control group of 11 Wraiths.

15. Bakuryu this time Plagues two control groups of stacked Wraiths later in the same game.

16. In one of the finals games, Karate nearly forces a stalemate when he turtles on an Island and denies Semih's expansions with his Mutalisks.

17. Karate goes on to snipe one of Semihs last two Shuttles and the pylon powering Semih's Robotics Bay. Semih had kept 200 minerals for another Shuttle incase his last one got sniped, however Semih would now not be able to afford another Shuttle.

18. Semih uses his last Shuttle to elevator mining probes back and forth. Karate harasses these probes to guarantee a stalemate. Semih at the time only had 200 minerals, not enough to expand with a Nexus. Karate had every one of his expansions hunted down until he was able to turtle on an Island and go Mutalisks.

19. Karate exploit Semih's lack of Shuttles to expand onto another Island off of the connects parts of the map.

20. Semih tries in vain to break into Karate's island.

Semih lost the above mentioned finals game but wen't on to win the Island Map Tournament.

Wow, this looks awesome. I won't be playing, but i look forward to watching.

Question for clarification - will the Bo3's and Bo5's all be played on the same map, or will maps played in previous rounds be included?
