"Community Open #45 - Cloud Kingdom"

+ [(TLMC)Cloud Kingdom Uploaded by Plexa!] +

by Superouman and ESV

• 2 player map with an easy to defend natural
• Many variations in terrain make deciding where to battle a pivotal decision
• Expansions become progressively more difficult to take as the game progresses
• Allows for clever tactical troop management and makes for long macro games
• Affectionally named "Bobby's Flying Castle" during test games, upon playing the map this name should be clear

Prizes will either be $25 straight to the winner or qualification for the $100 monthly finals. As there are many other events going on atm, i have no time to hold the monthly finals and this week the winner will get $25 straight through paypal. The winner of every CO also earns the awesome achievement "The People's Champion" and earns the right to a who's who profile. Previously the winners were directly seeded into the semi finals of the $100 tournament at the end of the month, where they will battle it out with the other 3 CO winners and start as semi finalists.

+ [FAQ New Players READ!] +

FAQ - New players please read this before asking the admins anything.
Q) When do I begin my RoX matches?
A) Unless I have asked you to wait so I can bring the streamer/caster into the game, please begin your game(s) immediately.
For the first round, if for example the official start time is 7pm SGT but the brackets are out earlier, you can play your match first if BOTH players agree but its not mandatory. Walkovers commence 15 mins after official start time. So 7.15 for first round.

Q) I'm ready for my RoX match! Where is my opponent?
A) If the bracket hasn't been updated, it means your opponent is still in-game on his current RoX match. If you're curious and want to speed things up for yourself, you could always add your future opponents and check their match history/status.

Q) I can't find my opponent?
A) Their battle.net name and character code should be in their sc2sea.com profile, if it isn't, try finding them via the chat channel. If you have no success tracking them down, please wait 15minutes before PMing the admin as the player will only be DQed after that time.

Q) What map am I on?
A) Map list is posted at the bottom of this post. Click "Read More". To find non blizzard maps, go to create game, then enter the map name in the search box.

Q) The tournament has started, can i still join?
It is not our obligation to accommodate you but usually our admins are kind enough if you ask nicely. Try PMing the admin and if hes not too busy he will slot in you by letting you replace one of the walkovers we typically always have. Do note that your name cannot be inserted into the bracket so you have to remember to tell your opponents you have replaced that particular player in the bracket as well as the admins when reporting your results.

Q) Hey, my opponent DC'ed, but he's back online, what do I do?
A) If any disconnects occur within the first two minutes of game-play, the match will be replayed. However if the disconnect occurs after two minutes of game-time, then it is up to the discretion of the player who did not disconnect to decide whether the match will be either: A) replayed, or B) forfeited.

Q) Who reports the games? Do i need to send in my replays?
To make things easy for the players, only the winner needs to report the results. And as for replays, only the winner of the whole tournament will have to send in their replay pack.

Thoughts on the map?

I liked it

[Maynarde]

I liked the map, the floating shark did my head in though.

Big grats to RedArchon, kid's got skill! I think I need to mess around with my mic levels they peaked a fair bit. Wierd thing was it wasn't consistent
