| haha wow Neo Arkanoid in another tournament's map pool? That's sure to make things interesting. RSL is always fun to watch, though, so I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully Leenock will be that last Korean TBA D: |

I like RSL, hope you guys can keep this tournament up! Wonder who the last Korean invite is though, maybe HyuN or Leenock.
Oz is switched with HyuN!Last edit: 2013-02-09 01:16:09 |

Nice mappool.
RSL is becoming one of the best online leagues. |

| I'd be stoked to see Incontrol just dominate this... but I mean, I can't help but think that's one hell of an uphill battle. Probably the biggest underdog story we've seen in SC2 since Thorzain at TSL3 to be honest. |

From a spectator pov, I really like the format. 
So, what is the schedule? When can we expect the games to begin?Last edit: 2013-02-09 01:31:44 |

Yes! My favourite online league is back (if you don't count IronSquid^^)! Great players, format is great, it doesn't take too much time with only three players per group and produces awesome games, it's fun with the handpicked seeding because you don't get mirrors, etc.
Any chance ToD will be back to cast in English?
Edit: Also, why do you always write the letter o instead of 0? It looks weird.Last edit: 2013-02-09 01:51:05 |

He is progamer from RoX.KIS. Quite popular in CIS.

Pretty sure there'll be one, two Protoss, one Zerg and one Terran left to be announced, I don't think we'll have two EU Protosses and only T/Z from KR, that wouldn't make much sense.
Maybe Oz or Creator will come back. |

What? Standard map pool format. That is kinda the shame the alternative map pool format of Season III was something i really liked. It could have done without some of the more ridiculous maps but overall i really enjoyed the way alot of maps were added to the pool and pros were still forced to be able to react to each and every map, rather than just being able to decide constant vetoes.
Still an intresting mappool overall through. Arkanoid is a risky pick. |

Yeah exactly my thoughts, Tod's casts are just amazing. All in all an english cast would increase the popularity of this tourney by far |

| Speaking about the mappool - we're trying to balance between pro's and viewer's thoughts. Progamers are not so glad to play on island maps and so on. That's why we're picking maps like Arkanoid and Icarus, which are pretty unstandart in some ways, but also staying with Cloud, Entombed and so on. |

| I think that way of setting up a map pool is good. I've really liked Icarus so far in the GSL. It changes how people play so it's refreshing. Same with Arkanoid when it first started in proleague. |
