By now, most of you should be familiar with the thread by GTR regarding the potential new maps to be introduced.

Well, hopefully.

So here is the competion:

I don't even know any more, this field is kind of dumb. I'll just say Stork because I like the guy and he needs a compliment after getting so utterly smashed by Jangbi's micro in the MSL.

This was seriously a great blog idea, despite all the work it takes. We still need to 1on1 some time fusion, I like giving angry Terrans something to be angry about.

Edit: Since there's no space for it in the template, I'd like to take this opportunity to say what awful, awful maps God's Garden and Central Plains are. Central Plains looks like the most boring macro map to come along since Andromeda. God's Garden is potentially a HORRIBLY imba TvP rehash of Lost Temple with an added back expo and no islands (likely making it even more imbalanced). Plus they're both so, so ugly.

I'm excited to see how Battle Royale turns out, but my predictions could be totally off and it could be really imba one way or another, or just not very fun. Seems unpredictable. I'm still really lukewarm on Outsider.... first impression makes me think Protoss will have an easy time, but I don't like the look of it and I'm still trying to decide if I like the "mineral blocked racetrack around the perimeter" gimmick.

I think Heartbreak Ridge and Shades Of Twilight both look the best and are the safest picks for playable maps. SoT seems very solid to me and it is probably my second favorite. Heartbreak Ridge seems to strike just the right mix of innovation and playability so I'm pretty pumped to see if it'll turn out as well as I suspect. Then again, I'm a sucker for weird ramps.

don't worry, there are still some maps in this pool that look hilariously imbalanced. God's garden for instance

Watch out for when people edit their blog posts XD

Also, there's still a possibility that these maps can undergo significant changes. When Forte BETA was release (map name Forte_DCINSIDE or something like that), it was really different. Same concept and stuff, but the middle was all sunken ground and there were no mineral blocks. So Forte changed a whole lot between the beta leak and the actual map release.

:O

That being said, I'll do my predictions soon...also, we should have an option to say what kind of builds will be seen.

Interestingly, there is a tendency for everyone to think that the other two races (I'm going off of TL icons here) are more favored on all these maps.
