[FaDeBadger]

Boo, I hate Shattered!! Yay for the GPD though.

[Eddie]

Fair chance R128 wont fill completely, so some players will either get a bye, or if we don't get 64+ this week it shall be cut completely, and we'll go with Antiga as first map.

It's good to mix the maps around a little too.

[noobinater]

I hate _having_ to play taldarim (potential PvP) but good map pool over all.

Have you experienced problems with previous Masters players being demoted to Diamond and then beating everybody? It seems like the rule is a bit strict by saying that if you were Masters in ANY of the seasons then you cannot join.

[FaDeBadger]

I think it's just easier to exclude anyone who was in Masters rather than have to judge everybody on a case by case basis.

Not really. It more an issue of defining players skill level. Getting into Masters isn't easy for most GPD players. Main aim of this tournament is to provide an event for those in the middle leagues.

Like Badger says, more of a broad rule, so don't have to judge everyone on a case by case basis, as determining a players skill that way would be quite tricky.

Looking forward to this, already 18 players is great for 24 hours to go! Good map pool too.
