PTR Hiatus by Bashiok

The PTR server will be taken down to apply new changes based on our feedback. Keep testing

Quote from Bashiok:

We would like to thank everyone for their participation thus far in the first StarCraft 2 public test. We’re in the process of temporarily taking down the PTR in order to apply changes based on your feedback and testing.

Some of the changes we’re working on implementing:

Bunker build time reduction removed as previously noted

Fungal Growth’s terrestrial limitation has been removed and the ability once again affects air units

It will once again be possible to hold down a key to repeat a hotkey command

This down time is expected to start tomorrow at noon, 12:01 p.m. PST and last for approximately 2-3 days. Keep an eye on this forum for updates on when you can rejoin the Public Test Region and begin testing the newest changes.

Thanks for your help!

The plans for the Star Battle tournament are progressing well. To show that I'm serious about this, I will be putting in $500 of my own money for prizes and looking for a sponsor to increase that amount. Spectator mode and some balance changes are being made to the map before any official signups start.

This news post will be about map reviews of some popular map already on battlenet

Count Sharks by essbee1337

This is the first playable underwater map I've seen for SC2, it's simple, pretty and revolves around counting the sharks that swim by.
essbee1337 showed his love for sharks along with a terrain he based off of the Under Da Sea WTE
There's 10 rounds to win consisting of 3 easy rounds at start, followed by 4 medium rounds and the rest is hard rounds. There's an overtime system if it happens to have a tie between some players.
