    for refining his own approach to the game and making it work. His PvZ is looking a lot better (taking out TLO, Bly, and Impact), despite the casters constantly dismissing his ability to do anything outside of a cheesey game.

    BIG SPOILER ALERT. Katowice day 1 series/games recommendation thread.

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 01:23 PM PST

    Let us help out those of our fellow Starcraft redditors that missed parts of or the entire day of tournament and are limited in their time, by recommending them series or particular games that we think were absolute must-watches.

    Throw down your suggestions in the comments!

    Reminder (like you guys aren't tired of these already): Katowice day 2 tomorrow!

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 01:52 PM PST

    Tomorrow we will close out the offline qualifier stage with brackets 3 and 4 played. How wide will SOO be smiling as he stomps through the upper winner's bracket? Can PTITDROGO pull off a slap fest? Can the promised child CLEM micro his part of the bracket into submission? Will the year of HARSTEM begin or maybe the year of POLT? Will SPECIAL have the doritos to make the group stage?

    Tune in tomorrow, and find out!

    For further memory refreshment, here are the brackets on Liquipedia.

    Full list of streams at the bottom of this page on the same site.

    Congratulations to the Players Advancing to the Ro24 from the Ro76 Bracket #1!

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 08:26 AM PST

    https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/IEM_Katowice/2020/Offline_Qualifier

    In a group where the majority of players are Protoss, Patience, sOs and ShoWTimE advances to the Ro24 after very grueling matches in the qualifying series. Unfortunately HeroMarine did not advance after showing really good and close games so far this season. Zoun also showed great performance today.

    Bracket #2 is still going on with players like INnoVation and Neeb in the group. Tune in to https://www.twitch.tv/esl_sc2 and many more to catch up on the games.

    New maps Discussion

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 11:57 AM PST

    I know we are all excited about Katowice, but don't forget to vote for the best new maps! Here is the link : https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/555926-tlnet-map-contest-14-voting

    However, before voting, let's discuss the new maps to make an informed decision. All maps are pretty, good and balanced. If you look at the Wardi's tournament, you can clearly see that the most skilled players made it to the semi-finals ;) Here are some maps that made an impression on me:

    2000 Atmospheres: It's and underwater map, need I say more? It looks cool, but I haven't seen a lot of games on it yet.

    Lightshade: It's basicly the same layout as Acropolis and Simulacrum. It's not a bad layout, but I'd prefer something new.

    Bamboozle: It should get top 5 for the name alone. It's huge like all the macro maps, but taking a lot of bases is not as easy. It has a lot of cool terrain in the middle and some nice drop paths aswell.

    Ecostation: A classic macro map with 5 easy bases. It really lends itself to long, epic games. I think it's nice to get one of those into the pool, especially considering a whole catergory of rush maps.

    Old Forgotten Temple: Very short rush distance. You can expand toward the enemy to make it even shorter. I like it. It plays different than all the current maps and it looks pretty cool.

    Blackburn: My favorite one. It's a bit like smaller Year Zero. It has close distance by air and yor're
    expanding away from the enemy. The bases are close to each other, so it's easy to split the map but the it's small, so they are also close to the enemy resulting in a lot of action. It has a lot of cool feature like babulas slowing drops into the main, exposed gold bases and tortured ultras.

    Impostor: The rush challenge map. However, after early game it really opens up. The central corridor with speedy zones is the closest path but it's easy to defend and the other paths give you better angle but longer rush distance. My second favorite challenge map.

    Jagannatha: The macro challenge map. It's big, but the speedy zones help with respositioning your army from left to right. My favorite challenge map. Thousands of Twitch chat GMs can't be wrong.

    What are your favorite maps?

    What’s up with Neeb?

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 02:29 PM PST

    Anyone have any backstory? Typical Neeb would crush this bracket. Is he putting less effort into SC2 than he used to or we think it was just an off day?
