We'll be casting the map tournament live starting on Thursday, Jan 31 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) on twitch.tv/ignproleague. Come check out all our casters (and maybe some of our staff) casting games on these new maps!







For quite sometime people have stated that the map pool is quite stale and needs to be improved.



That's why we are introducing a set of new maps and a tournament to test them on!



We want these maps to see as much play as possible, as at least two of them will be joining the IPL map pool. We may add more depending on player feedback, viewer feedback and overall balance and entertainment value.

Its an open tournament, so no invites.

With a 600$ pricepool, there should be some big names. Its an open tournament, so no invites.With a 600$ pricepool, there should be some big names.

The maps should be great, and the players should be awesome as well. I'm afraid of demented knife-wielding escaped lunatic libertarian zombie mutants

I was kind of thinking the same thing. HotS will have a new map pool anyway so whats the point? I suppose you could use these maps in HotS also but why not wait until then?
