Its been another good week for the ET masters tournament having all ready seen some quality clashes. Heres a brief review of some of the games.
Round 3 Changes[/b]
The dates for games in round 3 to finish have been extended until Wednesday 21st March. This is to accomodate some of the teams that are struggling to keep up with the fast schedule but also to give some teams a little more time to prepare for a change of map.
Frost Final B3 has unfortunately been a large disappointment to many of the teams that have been practicing this map. Unfortunately the map maker has tried too hard to adjust the design based on the comments he received on b2. B2 was too biased to allies, B3 it seems is just the opposite. Its extremely hard to attack this map and will result in almost certain full holds by both sides as we have seen in practices played so far.
That being said yesterday evening in the tournament private channel i asked the team leaders of nearly all the clans their opinions on the map and unfortunately there were no teams wanting to play it. I agreed to replace the map and opened the floor up to suggestions for a replacement. A couple of maps were mentioned however Battery seemed to be the most obvious with a lot of teams also wanting to see this played in the forthcoming EC. To this end i made a decision and that is that round 3 will be Radar and Battery however there are some stipulations.
I'd like to make it clear that i do not have anything against the map frost final and i think that hopefully when the right changes are made this will be a good map for all to play however at this stage it is not ready for competitive play.
i hope everyone is enjoying the tournament and coverage of round 3 will be posted when all games are scheduled.
