Tric's Map Contest - Part II

The winners of the map making contest have been announced, so now is the time to see some epic gameplay among the winning submissions in the following 1v1 tourney.

Details

Faction selection and map vetoing will be done this way: you will decide who gets what by tossing a coin.

• Game 1 - The winner of the coin toss chooses faction selection. (The loser picks his faction right after the winner of the coin toss chooses his faction). The loser of the coin toss then goes on to pick the visual category (rural, industrial, urban), and he vetoes the first map. So, the winner of the coin toss decides between the 2 maps that are left.
  
• Game 2 - The visual category that was selected for G1, is not allowed for the second game (nor G3, if necessary). For G2, the loser of the coin toss will make faction selection first, and will choose one of the 2 remaining map categories then veto the first map. The winner of the faction selection now chooses between the two remaining maps.
  
• Game 3 - For G3, whoever has the Victory Point lead from the aggregate of VPs in the two previous games, chooses faction selection. The player who is in Victory Point lead also vetos the first map, so the loser can choose between the two remaining maps.

for the final round 1/2 place match and 3/4 place match a Bo5 Ruleset takes place using the follwoing rules...

• Game 4 - For G4 all visual categories are available again, whoever has the Victory Point lead from the aggregate of VPs in the two previous games, chooses faction selection. The player who is in Victory Point lead also vetos the first map choosing from all visual categories, so the loser can choose between the last remaining maps spanning all visual categories. All previous map vetoes are maintained.
  
• Game 5 - For G5 all visual categories are available again, whoever has the Victory Point lead from the aggregate of VPs in the two previous games, chooses faction selection. The player who is in Victory Point lead also vetos the first map choosing from all visual categories, so the loser can choose between the last remaining maps spanning all visual categories. All previous map vetoes are maintained.

EX of map bans: G1 bombarded refinery (ban), G2 market ruins (ban), G3 west wall (ban) visual categories reopened for selection. Map ban to VP winner is open to all visual categories Normandy (ban), VP loser chooses ANY MAP FROM ALL 3 VISUAL CATEGORIES MINUS THE 4 PREVIOUS BANS. This style is maintained for game 5 if necassary.
Have a look at this example if you think you do not understand the rules mentioned above:

Show Spoiler

If somebody disconnects within the first 7 minutes, the game will be played again. If the game crashes outside the 7 minute mark, a Referee will decide the likely outcome of the match. If there is any sign of cheating during the games, contact the referees. They will decide what happens.

The winning player must upload all 2-3 games, and link them into the tournament thread within Events Central ( a specific thread will be given to the players later). You risk of being banned from future events, if you do not upload all your games! So don't forget!

Other details will be provided to the players by PM. After they have signed up.
