Grand line looks like it'll be my favorite map so far.
(partially cause it reminds me of the one piece "grandline" =D)

it'll be interesting to see how TvT works on that map =0

LOL HOLY crap wtf are these maps these are crazy.

ok these are my thoughts...im not super pro sc player or anyhting but oh well.

ok acutally i have no ide abotu checkmate apart frmo that it looks hilarious

eaarly-miod game zvt looks like the natural will be mutalisk harass heaven for zerg :D:D cuz air distance is so close... while late game if terran can get a billion tanks and hold the top areas it will be really hard for .. P or Z to break -_- little bridges, and ton of high and low groudn ups and downs.

polaris looks friggin sweet haha, like matchpoint vs sin chupung ryeong.. players will have to be moving around all the time!

inferno just looks like some standard 3 player macro thing...seems like arrangement of the expansions will favour terran in tvp? can push along one route towards the enemy.

grandline.. holdin the centre will be important ~~

FORTRESS i have a feeling it will be bad cuz it reminds me of Sin Pioneer Period.. super 'small' map with super small push distances... z and p in for a hard time/

Lmao what is Checkmate haha
Helpful labeling for game analysis B)

I'm liking the look of Ghost Line and Grand Line. Fortress seems incredibly terran imba to me

Lolol, Checkmate was so confusing they had to label the pods so players would know where they were.

All in all some really cool maps, Ghost Path and Inferno my favorite just looking at them. Checkmate and Fortress, on the other hand, look like crap.
How is zerg supposed to get a 3rd on Fortress? take an island?

Checkmate screams Terran abuse.

Uhhh Checkmate, really? Tanks are going to own.

Chill's principle of map analysis in action here


How to determine if a map is terran favored:

Does it have the extension .scm or .scx? If so, then yes.

yep either that or main

besides, if u get a fast third at the islands, there's nothing the opponent can do about it except to drop, which by then there will already be mutalisks.

Haha Checkmate looks rofltastic. So does Fortress, but at least it has a cool semi-island mechanic. If you make a map called Inferno, why do you draw Solomon's seal instead of a pentagram?

I think carriers could be very strong on Ghost Path, anyone agree?

Love the creativity. Can't wait for the new strategies that will be developed for some of these maps.

Ghost Path kind of looks like a map out of Advance Wars with how it's laid out. Looks really fun.

I'm thinking storm drops will be really good at the main's in fortress.

Checkmate and Fortress seem horrid and imbalanced, hope they never make it into pro game (I'm tempted to put Ghost Path there as well cause main+nat are so open and vulnerable to muta/reaver sort of harassments and cause of 2 nat entrances on completely opposite sides)

Polaris looks very interesting, I don't like that 3rd is so hard to defend (think tvp) but it would be a blast in late game

Don't be hating on Fortress. It will definitely make for some interesting games, even if it's imbalanced.

Like Troy or Plasma.
