By the way, consider that they may not be using the OP's versions since they aren't considered final versions yet. They may add a gas for both maps wherever, so it's hard to predict atm

checkmates a joke.
Ghost Path looks like it will be fun to obs games on assuming people use the maps crazy center and not just camp FE into air...
Polar was probably made by the same guy who made bluestorm.
lol at inferno
grandline looks.....fun?
fortress hurts my eyes.

Out of all the maps, I'm glad Polaris and Grand Line made it, Grand Line for the need for scouting and mixed strategies, and Polaris for looking cool. The other maps seemed more gimmicky to me.

Thank God Fortress didn't make it...Grand Line looks imbalanced, since it favors tanks on the hill.

I wanted Ghost Path to make it, but no...the map looked cool but too complex imo.

And Polar Rhapsody...argh i hate blue storm!!!

LoL at inferno...if they meant to make a Satan star (coz u know inferno = hell..satan) they made a biiig mistake. They actually made a jewish star instead of the satan's one which has 5 angles (dunno how to say it)

I get the sense Grand Line might end up being a fun 2v2 map on iccup in addition to producing good 1v1 games. It's definitely reminiscent of (Wiki)

he he, some of these maps are definitly new and creative, but:

Checkmate will be a pain for my poor toss, TvP will be to siege up and I can't imagne how easy it will be to lurker control the twists and turns in ZvP. Though I suspect Mirror matches might very interesting on this map.

Ghost Path, ha ha seriously? looks like my worst nightmare in map making: seemed to have spawned doodads and random terrain everywhere. Still, the map is symmetrical and could show some interesting ZvP Dark storm vs Psi storm for control of the trenches. as for terran on the map... will just have to wait and see.

Polaris Rhapsody, looks cool enough. nothing more to say on this.

Inferno, I agree with those who said this map might be the new Python (new tornado maybe) Still the name is a bit misleading, unless Fomos is really antisemitic and considers the jews to be spawns of hell... Which I seriously doubt. They should either change the star or rename the map to Solomon or something. Reminds me a bit of moonglave aswell, with a new tileset, which I personally love.

Grand line... do not like one piece, do like this map though. The island expos at 9|3 is really cool (not tankable if I am right), Hopefully this map will proove a new dawn for toss players (I see carriers raping everything on this map) demanding the secure the middel highground ofc

Fortress, this is a joke right? that looks like something I could have built in world editor or SCdraft.. ffs prepear to see T own everything tanking from the corner expos to the mains or ther other way (yes you can\t run them through the gate, but you can build them or drop them...)
I am completely sorry, but if this map doesn't go then something is reeeeaaaallllyyyy wrong with the people choosing these maps

Checkmate is fine, but what's with the ugly letters?
Fortress looks like jungle to me, not space. But it is using the installation/badlands/space doors.

Grandline is clearly the best map there.

Looks like the only changes made were removing center expo and making the corner expos into 2 gas expansions in Polaris Rhapsody. Also made those corner expos untankable heh. Middle's unbuildable now.

For Grand Line, the only changes I see are the removal of center expansions and tighter chokes at nat and mineral-only. Islands are now smaller too.

Thank goodness the two non-joke maps were included. I'd like to see Ghost Path tweaked and brought back for a second try though, that map was the only other that looked promising.
