Later tonight, at 19CET, the $50 Desert Outpost Invitational will begin, trying to take a step into custom made maps that are not from Korea.
The reason the tournament is called the Desert Outpost Invitational is because the starting map for each round is going to be Desert Outpost, a custom made melee made by the Canadian Eywa-, who also sponsors the $50 and organizes the tournament.
32 players are set up in the brackets which begin in an MSL style, hence you have to lose two matches to be out, and win two to advance to the next round.
The mappool besides Desert Outpost is consisting of the latest Korean maps, but also contains some oldies such as Destination, Othello and TauCross.
All the players and the bracket can be found in the according
TeamLiquid thread, which also holds all needed information.
The tournament is going to start at 19CET and is being held on the Fish Server in channel Op Eywa-.
The prizepool of $50 is going to be reserved only for the ultimate winner, everyone else has to settle with the joy of StarCraft.
The whole event is going to be casted by rD.Sayle over on his
justin.tv channel.
