TvP is gonna be hell, like someone said before (5 base Flash Build ftw)
TvZ and PvZ, however, are going to be VERY interesting, and should make for some great games.
Not jumping to conclusions, though. If one thing's for sure, though, it's long rush distances.

I think Mirrors will be the best.
TvP looks to be the most balanced imo

haha woops, i read that as 'like an arbiter cloaking it' and not 'arbiter above it'. maybe the property setting configuration doesn't work? not at home so can't try it out, but it should work o_O.

Flash's MSL : D

This maps looks really cool. It is hard to gauge the balance but at least should be very entertaining. Can't wait to see the first games on it.

I hate when they try to get over creative with maps, it will create more boring, long turtle fests to me.

I wonder how much nerfing the backyard and center gas will affect zerg. It made the first odd-eye incredibly hard but the third main and the insane number of geysers may actually make this balanced.

I also see a return to mech play in TvZ in our near future.

fantasy is just like

OM NOM NOM MECH YESSSS

but honestly i dont think its gonna be that good for terran. everyone sees a lot of bases and they go OH FUCK TURTLE POWER, but really there is more to it than that. Outsider has a fuckton of bases but that aint good for T at all.

that being said, I could be completely wrong. Terrans might end up loving this shit. God knows they ate up plasma.

Looks kinda like plasma with the eggs?

I think zerg will get a fairly easy 3rd gas

Outsider allows a turtle Terran to take four bases, but two of them have half resources so they will run out very quickly. This allows Terran a brutish push once they've drawn the resources from those bases, but then they need to claim some part of the center if they want to keep mining.

This new map allows five easy bases to the Terran, but please note they're spread out enough they may be quite vulnerable to aerial attack if you take all five at once, and there are a LOT of other bases on the map for the Protoss to claim. Still... I think it's poor map design when a player does not need map control to take many expansions.

I love the map. Balance issues be damned. It's only on quirky maps that we see weird builds. It's just no fun watching the same boring builds over and over. I want to see players like Zero, Fantasy, Stork, etc. come up with cool builds that abuse the map.
