The Mystery Map Invitational, for those who don't know, is an official tournament hosted by blizzard where they have top players duke it out on newly created maps.

In this second MMI we saw alot of good games.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to see a highly anticipated match, Beast_bg vs. Linyu)Pj. They were unable to play because of lag difficulty. Team captains Eriador and Legionnaire filled in admirably giving us a 2-1 series in favor of the Europe.

We also got to see a battle between ameteur and pro; mondragon vs. Zeus. Mondragon dominated the matchup 3-0. Mondragon has the best ameteur pvz and didn't help matters that Zeus only had a little time to prepare.

Breakdown vs. tot)sen( was relatively boring, sen, representing the powerful tot clan, taking down breakdown 2-1.

July vs. Spain player Zealotito was ugly for zeal. He was utterly destroyed 3-0.

Fisheye took on Pusan in a good series of PVP's. Pusan was a replacment for Xellos (the notably absent number three sc player in the world) and didn't have much time to prepare. Pusan lost to the german 2-1.

End result: 3-2 Europe.

 

[a@...]

Pusan[S.G] and ZeuS had only 10 minutes to study the maps before the game. :angry
(It seems that they didn't even care, nor serious about MMI)

so did they have a battle or let us see the maps?

 

[TrongaMonga]

I can't remember if they are given the map before the match, but if they aren't, this is where the map preview will ruin everything.

 

[ArtOfProtoss]

Beta: Yes, just go to the official battle.net site and scroll down a bit. You'll see a link to the replays.

Tronga: No, the are given time to prepare. That's why it was unfortunate players like pusan didn't have time to prepare and lost.

They didn't invite me

How come some of the players got the map so much earlier than others?

 

[ArtOfProtoss]

Because of withdrawls by some players from the competition.

i though there was time givin to play on the maps but not many

 

[ArtOfProtoss]

There was time given to play on the maps before the tourney, but not for those who didn't know they were going to be in the tourney until a person pulled out.
