what's the maps name, you say? Fortress?

It's a poke ball obviously.

And I'm not sold on Fortress. But we'll see.

Roadrunner has been the map replaced by Fortress.

Fortress looks like it will make for some very wierd games. The corner expands will allow for zerg to take early 3rd+4th bases without any risk. with sunkens at their nat.
The main+nat are very unfriendly to muta harass though being so open, so we'll see what race is used on it the most.
Grand line is going to rape zerg though, with no easy 3rd gas. Unless zergs find a way to claim another main/nat as their early 3rd, but it just seems like they're too far apart to be able to hold it.

Something worth noting: workers seem to be able to path into the corner bases of the Fortress, but there doesn't seem to be minerals on the other side to get them OUT.

I suspect that if you drop two tanks in there, the base will be pretty hard to save.

EDIT: I also wonder if it's possible to glitch a vulture in there with some mine-laying shenanigans...

Seems like TvP will be tough on Fortress. Island expansions, lack of ramp, huge open sapce for easy flanks...

TvZ should be ok if Terran survives 2 hatch muta which potentially can be deadly due to short distance.

Also, how come I haven't seen any posts saying that "Tanks will be imba" on Fortress?!

You can just right click on your main minerals to get them out

Excellent. Roadrunner was my least favorite map of the last two years. Yes, that includes Battle Royale.

The map looks pretty cool, though for some reason Fortress reminds me of a flat Andromeda.

EDIT: And where do you put down a 3rd on Fortress? That's going to cause problems for some Zs.

Yeh, I feel the same way, Kona.

ZvP was so sexy there.

Also, why hasn't Match Point died yet. Fuck.

Maybe, but it will be hard since there are two "gates" to get through rather than just one

Wait, I'm suddenly considering.

Are there builds where a Zerg could manage to fake a 2-hatch build while actually going 3-hatch? Or similar fakes... I don't know the game well enough to really tell.
