You are all cordially invited to tune in on iCCupTV and my stream of all the different games, and watch the VODs of top players going toe to toe on brand new battlefields.. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! In addition, every finalist map will be uploaded with the MotM tag on BNet, so they can be found easily for games with your friends. Just hit "Create Custom Game" and search for MotM . At the end of the month, we'll ask for fan feedback when making our decision.
