It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

Added WCS_Entombed Valley to the map list in the OP.
In this edition of the map, neutral supply depots have been added to the ramp outside each spawn location. Spawns have also been updated so that players can no longer both spawn on the top or bottom side of the map. Furthermore, players will never spawn in a location which forces them to take their 3rd base towards their opponent.

Pretty sure unless its cross only you always have 1 player taking a base towards the opponent. Even cross is slightly towards the opponent. See (capital)Yang's post for emphasis
ACL Regionals 3 - Blizzard World Championship Series Qualifiers!
The Australian Cyber League is proud to announce the details of our Starcraft 2 Regionals 3 dates. If you missed the announcement, you may be pleased to hear these events are also home to the Australian Blizzard World Series Qualifiers! If successful at one of these tournaments you will earn yourself a spot at National event held later in the year. Read below for all the details and how you can register yourself for one of these qualifiers!
Blizzard World Series Qualifiers being ran in conjunction with ACL Regionals:
The Starcraft II World Championship Series consists of tournaments held in nearly every part of the world, bringing players from all over the globe together to compete for pride, glory and prizes.
Starting with National Qualifiers, players will battle it out for a chance to prove they have what it takes to be the best in the country, and qualify for the Oceanic Finals in their part of the world. Then, the winners of the Oceanic Finals will earn a place to fight in the Starcraft World Championship Series, where they’ll compete for not only prizes, but the title of World Champion.
The Australian Cyber League have been named the Primary Partner of the Australian stage of the Blizzard World Championship Series and as such our Regionals events and ACL Melbourne will be qualifiers for the Nationals event to be held later in the year.
ACL Season Structure:
For those new or unfamiliar to the Australian Cyber League, there are 3 components to our competitions and season, each awarding points for your performance in these events.
- ACL Regionals: As announced, an open invite to compete for season points in each city.
- Online Events: An open invite for all to compete online against players in Australia & NZ.
- National Events: 4 of these in 2012. The next to be shortly announced as ACL Melbourne. These have the biggest attendance & biggest prizes.
How the circuit will work in brief:
You will earn points for every placing you receive within the top 32 at each event you compete in during 2012. Each component of the competition has a varying weighting of points distribution.
The National events for Starcraft 2 are Invite Only for the Pro Bracket. Invitations will be sent out based on your season points and only the top 16 ranked players in Australia by season points will be invited to the most advantageous spot for the Tournament. All other competitors at National events must fight their way through the Open Bracket.
Everyone in most capital cities will have 2 chances to accrue season points before the first national event. 1 x Liver Qualifier (ACL Regionals event) and 1 x Online Round before each National event.
