we could hold 8 qualifiers, 32 per time. top 3 qualifies(makes the 3rd/4th placing worthwhile to play)

as for the maps : XNC, Metal, Shattered Temple, GSL Crossfire and GSL Tal'Darim

I think maps like XNC, Shakuras, Metal, Shattered Temple are pretty balanced and I'd highly recommend the new GSL maps which have alot of potential for good entertaining macro games, such as GSL Terminus RE, GSL Tal'Darim Altar, GSL Crevasse. I'm not particular sure about GSL Crossfire SE, just feels alittle weird when i play on it. They definitely seem ALOT better than the new ladder map pool and several maps from the old ladder map pool.
