Frogis Profile Joined November 2010 59 Posts #3 oh right, good question. I believe the way these tournaments have functioned in the past is there are 8 computers there for you to use (bring person peripherals though i.e. mouse, keyboard), or you can bring your own.

How often are there portland events? If this is a semi-regular event you can be expecting me in a few more months kwark_uk: @father_sc learn to play maybe?

Frogis Profile Joined November 2010 59 Posts #5 Skill level I would say is wide, however leaning towards mostly Diamond/Masters players. Not sure about the regularity of these, but the last one in PDX was in March.

Coolness, you're welcome to come spectate for free, the only way that would be an issue is if we get a lot more people than before and it gets too crowded.

BlackDeath1 Profile Joined July 2011 United States 27 Posts #13 I'm sorry for being a bother, but I think many of the players would enjoy having a different map instead of Condemned Ridge. Is there any other possibilities that could replace a bad blizz map such as Condemned Ridge? It's not in any major tournament map pool and is only found on ladder where it is vetoed by many. Also will we be using the MLG/GSL versions of the maps? terran master race

Hell naw man, people hanging out chatting about the games are of course welcome. Sometimes its really beneficial for players just to watch other people play live : ). I will be there. The more people come to these, the more Frag will have them, thats been my understanding. So get people to come and keep these tournies alive!

I'm sure if there's a consensus about changing the maps on the day of the tournament, it will happen. I actually really enjoy Condemned Ridge and think it's a great addition to the map pool. Just because major tournaments use any given map, doesn't make it good. And just because they don't, doesn't make any map bad.



Although I do agree with you, it would be fun to add in maps like Atlantis Spaceship/Whirlwind/etc etc. instead of the standard. Best bet to get these changed officially is to email Will (the owner of FRAG Gaming) will.t@pccarepdx.com I'm sure if there's a consensus about changing the maps on the day of the tournament, it will happen.

Alphonsse Profile Blog Joined March 2009 United States 517 Posts #17 My thought process behind the map pool was to keep it to mostly ladder maps, as that's what I assume most in attendance practice (don't think we have anyone coming who plays in GSL code A qualifiers, for instance). I removed Tal'Darim from the pool because of how poorly PvP tends to play out (4gate too strong), as well as te fact that it has rocks at the 3rd, making it unfavorable for Zerg.



That said, I'm open to changing it slightly (shakuras is old and boring IMO). If there are enough people who want a GSL map in the pool, I don't see anything wrong with that. Just post here and let me know.
