Posted by:Nightmarjoo This Sunday, the 18th, at 4:00 EST we will have a bwm tournament. Op bwmn in europe server.
Mappack: (2)CosairHangar, (4)Senza-something or rather, (2)Kumba, and (4)The Last Conflict.
We're aiming for an 8 person tournament at minimum, more people show up, we can adjust for more people no problem.
Double Elimination, best of three, best of five for the final, and all 5 games will be played in that.
For the bo5, all 4 maps will be used, and then loser bracket's choice on the 5th map.
For the bo3s, one map will be designated for the first game, after that loser picks from the map pool.
Any questions or suggestions, either leave a comment here, PM me, spam my aim (The64man) or msn (Nightmarjoo@hotmail.com).
Please note that the tourny has been rescheduled for 4 EST, 21 CET, for Scout to play and to allow more time for people to show up (3 man tourny would've been no fun).
Well it's been a little while since our last motw was chosen, and the competition's thread isn't getting any more excitement, so it's time to pick one. The vote was leaning toward the dainty map Jade_Zone, then it became tied with Last Conflict, then another wave of votes came in for Last Conflict, making it, the winner!
Congratulations LostTampon, you sieze yet another MOTW! (perhaps because Salazar didn't make another map this week!)
So, what's good about this map to make it motw? The map features an in-base nat, as seen in bladestorm, behemoth, only the out-of-base-nat is blocked off by two neutral 5000 hp temples. 5000 is no easy egg to crack, allowing for some nice island play to go on, similarly to arkanoid, where you can choose island or land play. The map gives the players a neutral island to fight over in addition. The out of base nats feature a lowground cliff to be shot at from, and a fairly vulnerable geyser. In the inbase nat is a permamently placed dark swarm from which half the expo's mineral lines can be shot at. Who knows what kind of interesting play can arise from this swarm! Someone might complain that the inbase nat hurts terran who has weak melee units (ranged attacks miss in swarms, and burrowed units are invulnerable to all attacks), but the out of base nat gives the option to avoid the inbase one (if you're chicken!). This map is nice in that it wields used elements in a new and neat fashion which allows players to make their time, to choose how they want to play it, it allows the players to play the map not let the map play the players :) To weaken the possibly overly strong zerg, the main's gas requires 4 miners for optimum mining.
Congratulations LostTampon, previous Map of the Week winner, including author of the amazing map Avatar!
And an honourable mention to Starparty and Flothefreak for Jade_Zone

The hype is real now, GosuGamers.net's 100% legal Ladder is here! The Carrier, the name of the Ladder, is in its beta season right now! Sign up as soon as possible!
There are some really nice features implemented, including a much needed automatch. Allowing you to play fast, and more importantly, being pitted against a player within the same rank as yourself. The set-up is very user friendly and will be a great addtition to the Brood War community!
The best part about it, if you haven't noticed, is the addition of BroodWarMaps.net maps. (4)Nazca will be added after the beta season, and more after each season concludes.
Posted by:NastyMarine MOTW 4 is over, and who did ya guess would take the win? Salazar Slytherin gets another Map of the week!
Salazar has been known for his great execution in BWM.N for weeks and he keeps grabbing MOTWs by the bundle. Although there is some discremptancy about this map, it is definently solid and fun.
(4)Senbonzakura's layout is relatively simple, but execution wise, it is very sexy. Almost fresh because of the terrain patterns and all around feel. Congratz to Salazar!
