MAP AND RULES
TENTATIVE Map List:
-Terminus RE (finals 1)
-Shattered Temple (finals 2)
-Scrap Station (finals 3)
-Metalopolis (finals 4)
-Tal'Darim Altar (finals 5)
-Shakuras Plateau (finals 6)
-Xel'Naga Caverns (finals 7)
TENTATIVE Map Selection/Rules:
Each player veto’s a map until there is one map left. The first person to veto in each 1st match is the person who is on top of the bracket layout. The 2nd and 3rd match veto’s work the same as the first, but the first person to veto is the loser from the last match. So basically it's like losers take-out in basketball. Players can only veto one map at a time.
For the finals, each player can veto one map leaving 5 left. The player that veto’s first should be decided by a coin toss before the matches start. The player that wins the toss can either pass his veto and veto last, or veto first like a kickoff. And the map order for the finals should go according to the order stated above while noting that if a map is pooled, it will be skipped in the order.

Switched from Charter and I don't drop from games anymore at all...wewt
Ichabod couldn't have said it better. If all goes well and Verizon gets the ROI they are looking for, you can expect more SC2 tournaments with larger prizes, more coverage, etc. 
. I wish it had a little more room for spectators, but they did have a HUGE projection screen for them which was awesome.
