Yellow is another non-korean map that is almost good.... almost. jello_biafra I've never faced 2gate/proxycannon on colo ever, in like 200~ games. I just think picking so many completely crappy maps at once is lame. I don't like colo because I've played it a million times and early/midgame/lategame terrible toss and terran players can sit there and not do anything and I can't attack because if I do I run the risk of three gas toss raping me. So I'm stuck playing a macro game against protoss and terran that aren't worth my time. | ||

I've only played against this build as Terran, but I think that would be an adequate response, cannon on the high ground should work nicely against it. It's gotten to the point where I send my 6th SCV up to kill the damn neutral sunken as fast as physically possible.

It would be so boring if Python were always on the MotW. And although I like them now, I would get seriously fed up with Destination and Medusa if they were all I ever played... I'm glad they're out this week, I can go back to some Carthage and actually have people join my games. | ||

You don't have to love them all, you just have to pick one and play it for a week : ) It would be so boring if Python were always on the MotW.

I'm glad they're out this week, I can go back to some Carthage and actually have people join my games. Personally I only play the "gennerally accepted maps" because I want to get better at the game, meaning I want to get better mechanics and timings. If I go play a nonstandard map or a completely new map, the chances of a standard game are way smaller, and the risk of me fucking up because I dont know the map is higher. I agree that python is really boring, but a nice rotation of medusa, bluestorm, destination etc. would be optimal (and also, they are pretty balanced). Then all the other maps OTW could be "new" maps and such. The difference between python and the other maps I like, is that they do have room for some creativity but still most players prefer standard play on these maps. | ||

I'm guilty of the 9pool speedling with proxy sunk (think it was week 2 of the new season when collo was last motw) But then I stopped doing it because I remembered that lonelyprobe-- got really really mad when I did it to him, so I haven't done it since ;_; | ||

I think its a stupid assumption that somebody like AZ would make a thread to comment on the poor choice of maps this week if he was some newb that could only play 5-6 maps and in reality had no right whatsoever to talk about map choice. I'm not exactly chuffed with the choice but I'll play almost any map so... I really couldn't care less. In actual fact I kinda like it when the maps are like this because it means the people are out of their comfort zone. | ||

And who's talking about "the right to talk about map choice"? Why wouldn't he have the right to voice his opinion? I don't get that comment you make. I think you misread my post, or my english writing is just dreadful. | ||

I'm making the comment that I like it when the map pool isn't LT/LUNA/PYTHON/TAU CROSS because everyone has played those maps a LOT.. When MOTW's like this with lesser played/new maps people are out of their comfort zone aka they are not playing the same maps they always do 24/7.... Seriously what is your problem? Your post is some weird rant that for some reason is trying to pick apart what I said, it doesn't even make sense and I was just giving my personal opinion on why I don't mind when the MOTW's aren't everyones favourite.

You're opening line implies the OP only plays 5 to 6 maps and hasn't/doesn't want to/isn't capabale of "branching out" into other maps. The point I'm making is I'm sure he plays more than 5-6 maps, so what are you talking about? About right to comment, the point is there is some guy who only plays 5-6 maps, like you are suggesting, who has no right to comment on the quality of maps because he only plays 5-6 maps, hasn't "branched out" and therefore knows practically nothing about maps. Thus lack of right to comment on whether maps are good or not. Hope you understand now.. | ||

D/D+ noobs don't play them because they don't know the map and they play python mostly. the better players don't play them because they're not used in competitive tournaments/leagues. also what' up with playing colo, destination and medusa only? last week sword of the moon and tears of the moon got totally ignored :/ No one plays on maps that are imba in zergs favor. True story. Yeah, horrible map pool this week. As I have never got to play a non-ZvZ on carthage, its time for fucking colluseum, which is my least favorite of the three courage maps. | ||

"terran favoring" cool dawg I still cant figure out why terrans complain about medusa. boohoo you can't sit in your base and max out while slowly pushing. learn how to dropship play retards. as for rush hour PvT, you need to slow down your third and play 2 base on 2 base and get storm asap to stop the inevitable timing push. that combined with zealot bombs and you might have a chance. or just try to dt/reaver drop whatever. colo2 is a joke so yea im just waiting for it to disappear. "hey guyz lets see who can turtle better yeaaa" | ||

Fuck off. stfu i was nowhere as offensive as you are and i didnt say anything to provoke this if you think RH3 wasnt played just as much as tau cross youre fucking retarded. And who the fuck plays LT/Luna on iccup, it was a MOTW for the first time in months last week and no one good would even use it otherwise ure some douche bag who gets pissy every time someone points things out for him. Sit down. | ||

I know, and I definitely find 2v2 games on vampire to be really fun, but even then, a lot of people still opt to play 2v2 games on python for some reason. -_- | ||
