    We also ask that if you are not participating in the tournament that you do not enter the #patournaments channel. This makes it easier for us to perform a headcount.

    The maps for December Deadlock have been made public.

    You can find them in the "December Deadlock" server in System Sharing. There are five rounds that should let us see some fun and varied play. Special thanks to @guest1 from Team Genesis for working with the eXodus staff on getting these maps ready for your big games.

    Good luck to everyone on Saturday, but most of all, good luck to me! I know we all hope I win.

    My thoughts on the maps:

    R1: Really bad to have such a low skill cap map as the round 1 map or in a tournament. This is a map where lesser players can easily take a game off a better player because there is little opportunity to display skill on such a limited map. I am definitely going to rush orbital.

    R2: I like this map, big, and suits my playstyle. Definitely going to go pure navy on it.

    R3:Also really cool map. Seems to have a good variety in potential strategies. I will also rush orbital on this map.

    R4: I also like this map, cool spawning placement and lots of strategic areas. Pure air on this map for me.

    R5: This map is a little too small imo, but it is nice to have one small map because it changes up the meta a bit. T2 air rush will be so strong.

    Overall, not bad other than the first map, which will see many upsets. Trust me, if you do the strats I am doing on these maps, you will make it to the finals where you will lose to my orbital rush. The strats I identified are definitely op on these maps, trust me. I probably should not have told my 1337 strats but I want other players to make it far in the tourney as well.

    Sign-ups for December Deadlock are now closed. Good luck to everyone who is participating, and if you're not playing come watch it with us.

    Players who are still listed as MISSING for PA Stats will be removed shortly. If you're one of those players you have a small window left to resolve the issue. Brackets will be finalised following this.

    I think to close it 24 hours before the tournament is a bit extreme.

    The brackets have been finalised. Only five hours until we start, and a reminder for players that they need to be on IRC no later than thirty minutes before we begin.

    Will there be an after-game? I've got a new planet type to try out.

    I think we'd need to use PTE if we wanted team pole spawns.

    While I may not be watching the live stream I'm going to watch the replays definitely to see what happened to balance in my time of absence.

    Absolutely nothing has changed on stable. They've got a few changes in PTE, but far from the needed reworks.

    Just out of interest how was ranking decided. Can't believe I made it as high as 22

    We use the Uberskill ladder, if you're not on the ladder then you receive its default rating. Should we ever be able to see the full Uber ladder then that will be used instead.
