Lets test some changes and see how the patch looks in competition! We will run with whichever version of the PTR is live at the time of each portion of the event. Should the PTR be taken down before the event concludes we will either try and complete the event on a mod replicating the changes or find another solution!
Event will be a 10 player tournament with two 5 player round robin groups into a single-elimination playoff bracket.

Pretty excited for this, as much as not much regular tournament action is at the minute, the silver lining is that it does free pros up to really experiment with the PTR

I meeeean, the new maps look pretty okay for blink, it might counter the problems of the patch if the terran is already dead. I don’t think I want to bet with you but I’m not certain they can’t win

Byun also 3-0 Clem in the final of PiGosaur Cup, it might be just the map having a bigger impact than we all think.
The current ladder maps are pretty bad. This is an old post that I made…
It seems like the maps that came out of this contest ended up being quite imbalanced:
Amphion has 40% PvT.
Crimson Court has 69% TvZ.
Dynasty has 65% TvZ.
Ghost River has 58% ZvP.
I hope there’s a new ladder pool soon.

I’m a bit surprised there’s not a few more big hitters in this, just given the absence of other tournies at present

I’m just impressed Trap apparently beat someone 99-0 in qualifiers
gotta make sure the better player advances, you don’t want someone to advance out of luck or dirty cheese!
