Do you know your professional Starcraft maps? Do you...like alliteration? Regardless of your answers to these questions, you're reading this. So while you're here, why not try to guess what maps these alliterative sentences and sentence fragments refer to? Actually, I'll answer that for you. You have no reason not to do that. You should start right now! They are probably arranged in something very much close to resembling orders of difficulty.

This should be obvious!
Arbitrary arbiters absorbing abnormal abstracts about abhorrent aberrations.

This should be obvious too!
Satanic symbolism sporting surging siphons surrounding singular susceptible system.

This might be less obvious, but not by much.
Innumerable infestations impede internecine interaction in irritatingly irregular infrastructure.

I don't think this is obvious, but what do I know? The answer! That's what.
Returning rectors regarding resplendent reaches rename reclusive raucous renegade.

This one's cool. No, it's not IdrA as one of my friends suggested. It's a map.
Quaint quadrant quashing quiescence, queuing questionably quick quitting.

You might have trouble with this one I guess? Maybe? I can never really tell.
Claustrophobically close chasm creating cataclysmic crises claiming countless cretinous creatures.

More incoming? Maybe? Unlikely. Probably not. Hope you enjoyed.

There is but one truth.

First one is Triathlon, second is Holy World, third is...a hard one
For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.

Please spoiler your answers so that other people are not influenced by them. Thanks!
But nonetheless,
+ Show Spoiler +
3) Baekmoji is wrong in that it satisfies one hint but not the other.
4) Not sure which one that is actually but no.
5) No, not sure what your reasoning is.
6) Possible, but not what I was thinking about. Note the second part of the hint.
There is but one truth.

nbtnbt5,
+ Show Spoiler +
1) Correct.
2) Yup, those are the obvious ones.
3) Colosseum is similar to the map that setzer mentioned for this hint in that it doesn't satisfy all parts of the hint.
4) I'm not sure what part implies the existence of neutral assimilators but it was not my intention.
5)
6) No, but your reasoning would interest me.


setzer,
+ Show Spoiler +
3) Unfortunately I am not familiar with that map nor can I find it on the map database
4)
5) Excellent guesses, but they both fail to satisfy one part of the hint.
6) Doesn't seem to fit. Why?
There is but one truth.

Answers
3: Explanation: + Show Spoiler +
Lurker Eggs block anything other than scouting workers from getting through initially. The map is three players, and is asymmetrical left-right.

Plasma

4: Explanation: + Show Spoiler +
The returning rectors regarding resplendent reaches refer to Korean Air, creating this map on their second sponsorship of the OSL. Resplendent reaches refers to the sky. The ever-loud Kakaru was renamed on this map to "Boeing 747".

5: Explanation: + Show Spoiler +
This is a fast paced four player map that is quaint because almost everyone knows about it. How many fast paced four player maps do you know?

Answer: + Show Spoiler +

6: Explanation: + Show Spoiler +
This map is infamous for its close positions by air, and the fact that almost every single game on it has been a single matchup: + Show Spoiler +
