After another meeting with my club I have decided that it would be best to hold the tournament round-robin style with bo1 matches (somewhat brutal). As it stands I'm probably going to arrange the matches to take place on a more well known map like Destination, Fighting Spirit, Python, or even Lost Temple to cater to the weaker players. Which map do you guys leaves a favorable palate of options open to players in a bo1 setting (so that there won't be an absurd amount of cheese or racial imbalances)?

So we are talking broodwar?

From your previous threads I thought you were talking sc2 but this one makes me think broodwar.

I'm confused.

Edit: If we are talking sc2, I agree with poke, Metalopolis and/or Xel'Naga Caverns.

If it is bw...I've been out of the scene too long to give an adequate answer.

For bw Fighting Spirit would be a good one, Python is very well known so I would only pick that if it's people who are new to the game- otherwise it's just bleh -_-. Desti is pretty good too, but I think FS is a bit more standard though, so Desti would probably be slightly worse.

For sc2, probably metal

Fighting Spirit, Destination, Tau Cross, and Blue Storm are all great maps for what you're looking for. Python is good if they're a little newer, but I would still recommend the others.

Imo Blue Storm is bad because of the weird map style, which is bad for inexperienced players. As well Tau Cross wouldn't be that great, because most people aren't used to the 3 player style and it's hard to wall off as protoss.

Maybe I'm just biased because I hate all those maps except FS and Desti, but I think there's a reason for that :D

FS, and Python. That's really the two better choices. Easy for beginners for sure.
I have an announcement to make, "Moo!" That is all.

Labyrinth.Best map hands down.


On a more serious note, FS, Destination, and HBR were the only three maps my friends and I played each other on. In SC2, I'd say Metal

FS and HBR are my favorite Broodwar maps. FS only because it's really standard and good for all types of games.

And then I like HBR because I figured out that I should FD against P and not Siege Expand. >.>

I'm not sure many people would be up to the task of learning new maps, especially since I'm allowing registration so late (3 days before tournament)... I'd have to announce the map a good amount of time before hand.

At this point it looks like FS it is!

FS definitely! Most balanced map out of your suggestions...

Desti is IMO a Terran map. T>Z and T>P (if T makes it to lategame and knows how to defend)
Python's middle is too open and unfavorable for Terran in TvP mid-to-lategame.
Lost Temple is just LOL.

Statistically, Destination is a pretty bad map for terran in TvP, despite the claim of many protoss players.
Fighting Spirit is statistically one of the most balanced maps ever made for scbw, and its not a map that can be abused by silly cheesy tactics - leading to a likely probability that the game will be played out normally.
