Sziky had said he had not played in 2 weeks or something like that.

I'll hopefully have an interview or three for you all, and some map statistics (assuming tracurling or whomever gets them done), and some cool stuffz in general ;o

Won't be able to tune-in because of the time

Is Technics going to play random like he did vs eonzerg ?

How is Radley a favorite in the polls vs Sziky ? I mean he's not bad, but he's supposedly C+ high (since he was in the C rank KOTH).

I have improved during last weeks of not playing any games and now I am A+ level terran.

Man i can t decide if i like more 16 or 4:3 ... i guess 4:3 AT the moment but maybe just cause i m used to that...

GL to all in the Finals!! gogo co-cast with Radley please!! *or Birdie+Hacklebeast+Radley sounds good too

And again guys i might sound annoying BUT especiale Radey Sziky Technics Trutacz (but not only you) if you would like to write anything about the maps, go write it here please!! http://www.iccup.com/community/thread/525164/page3.html

This can include games that you played, things you found interesting and why/how is any of these maps balanced and worthy. Also if anyone from the staff or the good people at Broodwarmaps.net, would like to write anything as well, For example How the map was changed and fixed from the first version, GO FOR IT!! (commentators too)
