#4 3:1 vs #5 3:1

Map Veto:

The map veto for both the Swiss Group Stage and Playoffs will use a pick/ban method using only 7 maps. Each stage will have their own map pool [see below for the maps]. In order to be fair with the different styles of the players, we will be separating the maps into 3 groups:

3 bhop maps
3 climb maps
1 unique map that includes nonstandard techniques.

In order to be even more fair, both the climb and the bhop maps will have the 3 standard difficulties:

- 1 easy bhop and climb map
- 1 average bhop and climb map
- 1 hard bhop and climb map

*As for the "unique" map - it will have an average difficulty.

Before the match starts, the administrators will use a plugin that will determinate randomly who is going to ban first. After that, with the help of a map veto plugin in the server, the following will occure:

First ban rotation:

1. Player1 bans first
2. Player2 bans second

Map picks:

3. Player1 picks first
4. Player2 picks second

Second ban rotation:

5. Player1 bans first
6. Player2 bans second

Decider:

7. After player2 decides his second ban, the last map will be used as a decider in case the result is 1:1

Schedule: Matches are played non-stop. First match starts at 15:00 CET, 5 minutes per each map, four days tournament.

I never planned to record this map. We played it on public the other day and I've noticed that with some extra things my time is faster than the current WR. That was unexpected for me and for other players too, as fanzeng 's blocktime seemed invincible. I started streaming the map and I eventually finished in 03:00.23. It certainly wasn't easy to deal with the previous run, it took a lot of time to beat the map, I was changing things a lot. The moment I was done, Juice ._. showed me a pixelwalk shortcut (found by accident), and I wanted to do the same run with the shortcut included. I added few new things to the run, which pleases me more than the shortcut itself (which saves around 7 seconds). I managed to beat the map in both ways, and that's something that makes me happy in the end. This one was always somewhat iconic as a balanced, speedy hard map. That's it from me, enjoy the clip.
