When there be games played to test them out like they did with last batch of map pool? If it's so, does anyone have idea about when it will be taking place?

Don't understand some of the maps. Seems interesting though.

iunno..im looking forward to playing on checkmate. looks like a giant maze you have to learn to maneuver through, thus making up for the lack of terrain differences. makes scouting that much more important

Wow they look great (and quite interesting)

I'm really surprised that Grand Line's rush-distances are actually all the same (except diagonal ofc), that right there is an impressive bit of map-making

Does anyone know when the maps will be released to the public?? (want to play them want to play them)

um these all look pretty horrible imo ;S

edit: Actually Polaris Rhapsody looks pretty good and Ghost path might make for some interesting games. But really, Checkmate?? It looks like a sieged tank behind the natural could potentially reach natural and 3d gas expo mineral line, as well as main gas & buildings all at once. And Fortress must be some kind of bad joke. What were they thinking?

I don't see that at all. It looks perfectly fine for the Protoss in PvT to me, though it might depend on which parts of the map are buildable. Terran has to expand counterclockwise, while Protoss expands in whichever direction the Terran isn't. The center of the map is very open, so it's tricky for Terran to defend many expansions or slow push anything.
My strategy is to fork people.

i think the distance is bigger than it looks, anyway you'd have to control 1/3 of the center to control 1/3 of the expansions, seems pretty fair

I'll give the mapmakers credit for the effort in making these maps look unique, but just from looking at them it would seem they may have gone a bit too far in that regard. Who knows though, maybe they know something i dont.

new maps are always fun to see. wonder what the balance issues will be. i doubt if any of the maps will become a popular map on iccup though.

May the BeSt man win.

Probably not. These maps are 'nominees' for the next round's map pool, that means there's a high possibility of not all the maps making it. And there's no time for tests, since after the WL finals, R4 should start soon. Not enough time for map testing + decision making + map balancing and stuff imo.
