          Final intel is in, and updated battle maps have been drawn for:
          Saturday Day 1 - Scenarios # 1 - 9 just released!

          Check Map Post #5 above for the Game/Scenario maps.

          https://forum.faforever.com/topic/4033/rainbow-cup-v-3v3-1-2k-1-800/6
          Some maps did stay the same, but
          many of the maps have updated enemy factions, positions and strengths.

          Also:
          Everyone please check the mods vault and
          make sure you have the most recent update versions of All of tommorows AI's.
          3 out of 4 of tomorrows AI's have had a new version released this month.

                                6 of the 9 remaining players are from Russia and most likely will not be able to get the money xD

                                  One of March's RCIV winners from Russia,
                                  gave me a bank contact, and
                                  after contacting my bank, and
                                  paying 2 international fee's ($25 and $20) the transfer went thru.

                                  I'm not sure how the player set up the transfers, but
                                  when explaining everything honestly to my bank, they
                                  said it was all legit.

                                  See Post #8 above for some more info:

                                    Reminder..
                                    The remaining 9 maps are Not accurate intelligence reports.
                                    We won't know for sure -
                                    what faction, locations or how many enemy AI are at each space planet/outpost.

                                    Expect the accurate finalized Game maps about 3 hours before
                                    arrival to Strongwyn tomorrow ~ 1200 UTC.
                                    We will Not know the finalized game maps for the Finals until after the
                                    Semi Finals are complete.
                                    Even though we are not sure of the exact AI enemy threats,
                                    study the planets and learn the terrains of each.

                                    Looking forward to watching the championship matches tomorrow,
                                    Starting at 1500 UTC.
