Map Pool!!!
Here you go guys, the maps are in! Make sure to brush up on these so you are up to the challenge! Since this is single elimination, each round will take same on the same map across the board.
Round one- Finns Revenge. Bring on the nostalgia! Finns is simple, fast, and an excellent warm up for the rest of your matches.
Round two- Crimson Fued. This map is fairly straight forward. Spam Ahoy!
Round three- Niflheim - Final II. A mix of chokes, exposed expansions, and your back to an opening, this map is definitely one you need to practice on!
Round four- Canis River. A perfectly balanced 1v1 fight awaits on this round!
Round five- Twin Rivers. This map is a bit difficult to control Players had better have a good starting build! Starting positions are in top right front and bottom left front.
Round Six- Forbidden Pass v4. This map will push you outside your box! To eliminate the other player you will have to think creatively, as water will disrupt the normal flow of play. Should be an amazing final! Starting positions are top right and bottom left.
Maps are to be played in order by round number regardless of number of rounds.
