RO 4 is started. It's BO5. Maps order depends.
I'm gonna be skimming through some rules now..
The "thumbs-down" system works like this;
Both players must "thumbs-down" 1 single map from the pool. That map is NOT used in the whole BO3 that the person plays. This leaves us at 3 maps, since we'll only be using 4 for the RO8.
The map order is,
Colosseum II
Return of the King
Medusa
Destination
Athena II
Tiamat
The group winner MUST thumbs-down a map. If one person thumb-downed Destination, and the other thumb-downed Athena II, you'll play Colosseum II, ROTK, Medusa, Tiamat, in that order, etc.
Also, we never announced this, but there ARE some rules relating to glitches and bugs.
Most of these are stolen from ICCup:
- Flying drones and templars
- Terran sliding buildings
- A bug which allows your units to remain stacked while moving/attacking (does NOT refer to stacking air units or burrowed units! It's some shitty bug that allows you to stack ground units, sort of like lights on/off cannons if you know what I mean.)
Stacking mutas and other air units is okay.
- Allied mines
- Observer over turret
- Drone "Gas walk" to get through blocked entrances
- Hold position lurkers
Abusing ANY of these will result in a loss for the game you used the bug(s) in.
There are
Return of the King
This map was used in the previous tournament, and posted some nice results and interesting games.
So we've decided to bring it back.
Now, this next map is likely to bring in some hate, but you fags are gonna have to deal with it.
It's an old map, known as
We're not actually using this map.
It was all a shitty joke. Jejeje
The next map we're announcing is;
Tiamat
This map may also cause some bitching, since it's really really imba for TvZ. But do any of you fags actually know why?
Exactly. Most people don't. I do know what makes it imbalanced, at least partially, and I honestly can't take advantage of it. I'm just not good enough. So don't bitch about it.
The next map we're announcing is,
Medusa
Easily one of the most awesome new Proleague maps, if not THE most awesome. It's a 3-player map, as you all know, that's inspired some awesome cheese, even from scrubby players like us.
The next map that we're announcing, is going to be used at the start of the RO8.
That map is..
Destination
An ultra-standard macro map that seems to have a lot of potential to give us some long, awesome games, if you're into that kind of stuff. If you don't like long games, you prolly won't like this map.
Hehe.
For the RO4, the last 2 maps will be announced.
Particularly,
Athena II
and
Colosseum II
These 2 maps are the last maps we're announcing. This brings us to a total of 6 maps. BOTH players in the RO4 can thumb-down a map, so we'll be playing 4 maps.

Eri passes their turn
Nigba switches Yackyack from group D with Kazo of group A
Elwiz switches Nate from group C with Lemon of group A
Loli switches Boss from group B with Viral of group C, passes.
Kips switches Sinclaire from group B with Nate of group A, and Eri from group D with Yackyack of group A, passes.
Kips and Loli got 3 turns, everyone else got 1.
Remember that these rules are stolen from the MSL, though they're slightly modified since we don't have 32 players.
