Sorry for bailing out at the last minute last time, but since this is only the 2nd week of winter quarter I should be fine so I'll join in.

I was rethinking the maps, maybe we should only add 2 or 3 of the new maps instead of all 6? Personally I haven't actually played any games on any of them so maybe that would help. 3 new maps would be nice for the adventurous so they could play their entire BO3 on them.

Feedback?

Maybe just the first four. I can't find Terminus Re or Crevasse on B.Net.

EDIT: For those who don't know, just search "GSL" to find Tal'Darim Altar, Aiur Garden and Biohazard on Battle.net. Crossfire is a 2-player Blizzard map. CSamurai and I tried each one once today, and I like them so far, especially Aiur Garden. I'm a little tired of all the Blizzard maps that don't give easy defense of your main and natural.

Well, I'll come lose some more.

You should have my contact info from the last match, but I can go grab it if you need it?

That's really awesome! I assume it'll record them? I have to help a friend move so I can't play, but I'd love to watch them after. =)

Should someone PM the people from the last tourney to make sure they know about this one?

Good idea, I just sent PMs to the people I haven't heard from yet. Also everyone feel free to invite more people.

Chew, yes livestream will record the cast!

[fwiffo]

Count me as a maybe.

[NeoNemesis]

My brother Jinqianhan#462 would like to register. He used to play on kgs as: http://www.gokgs.com/gameArchives.jsp?u ... Accounts=y but doesn't have an acct here on L19 so he'd like me to register for him.

I'm still a maybe, but more likely than not.

[schilds]

Aww, such bad timing again :p.

Oh well, here's to hoping there's a 3rd one I can participate in.

[Aphelion]

Ack, I don't know half these maps... Do you guys practice them on custom games?
