Just waiting on the seeds to be determined and the bracket to be generated. Look for the VIEW BRACKET button to appear shortly!
Good Luck everyone and Thank you for supporting CSN.

CHECK IN may be extended for another 20 minutes to allow some more to CHECK IN.. only half checking in.. is weak sauce :P We will keep you informed.
Submitted by csn_johnclark on Sat 8/20/11 2:53pm EDT.
Once the CHECK IN period has closed and the players have been seeded, the bracket will be generated. Once it is generated, you will see a button at the top of this page in the tournament area that says VIEW BRACKET.. Also, where the 'CHECK IN" button is now.. you will see a REPORT MATCH button. This is one of the places that you will be able to report your match. You may also click on one of the player's names in your bracket box and it will take you to the MATCH COMMUNICATION/REPORTING page to report scores. That page is also where you can contact/communicate with your opponent.
Let me know if that helps please.

The GSL maps are more fairly balanced. A lot of tournament maps from GSL/MLG/NASL/etc. fix the small imbalances in maps like
-Airspace behind spawns. Some maps allow users to harass and hide their air units out of reach of a players base but another spawn doesn't have that extra airspace so air units can't hide (maps are symmetrical so airspace needs to be too)
-Blocking off ramps. To counter blocking off ramps completely, some maps have a neutral supply depot at the end of their ramp to counter this.
The maps look the same, there are some small tweaks to make it fair for everyone.
