The 5th edition of TL-Arena was played and broadcasted January 31th, 2010. The Hero of the evening was Legionnaire: Australia's living StarCraft legend who was among the first foreign players to go to Korea as a professional and is still among Australia's top players. Commentary was done by Huskythehusky and Raelcun.

Concept

Hero would face 8 players on 8 maps, randomly drawing one handicap after every win from a pool of 16 handicaps. The game is over if the Hero loses.

Maps

Map pool Maps were predetermined: Tau Cross Judgement Day (0.92 version) Eye of the Storm Fighting Spirit Outsider SE Match Point Heartbreak Ridge TL-submission

TL selection Efreet - 58% Battle Royal - 26% DMZ - 12% River of Flames - 4%

Handicaps

Upgrades No Zealot Legs - Leg's zealots will tend more to amble about and admire the scenery No Goon Range - This is a unique handicap as it will hurt both early and late game No Psi Storm - Now those shuttles will only have room for reavers No Interceptor Upgrade - Now they are only half a free win

Units No Zealots - Legionnaire cannot use this basic Protoss unit No Observers - Vital for Protoss' mobile detection capabilities Gateway cap - A maximum of five gateways may be on the map at one time Gas cap - Our hero is restricted to only one assimilator during the match No Shuttles - A favourite unit of Leg, how will his reaver micro be without his characteristic shuttle? No Arbiters - Leg has never been known for his arbiter use, preferring carriers, but will he regret not using them when he had the chance?

Other Give Vision - Legionnaire will surrender vision to his opponent with this handicap No Rally Points - No rally points may be set outside the player's base Double Tech - Any tech building will have to be built twice before it can be utilised TL Submission x3

TL-submission

• Power Outage - 9%
• Thunder from Down Under - 8%
