Yes, what I was saying though is that even though it is a very likely possibility, that the tech would be, a waste of sorts as opposed to hydras unless you were going for a muta/hydra mid game. And I disagree... turrets are decently effective against mutas, and with charon booster goliaths and the huge amount of ground space to put buildings as to prevent stuck units and the large distance (comparative to python) to fly within the main before you get to the mineral line (And the fact that both mineral line have essentially zero room to maneuver behind with mutas), it just seems like a bit of a waste to go for mutas when you could immediately go for a decent ground army with hydras, and then if you want the mutas to soak up damage, get them, but otherwise, mutas don't seem to be useful for harass on this map unless they forgo scan (which seems too risky at such close positions, even if they are going mech). | ||

Muta harass is a must in maps like this. A mid-game zerg army gets crushed by tanks. 2 tanks + some support > any amount of hydras. If they go mech, you'll be able to do a decent amount of damage with the mutas before the goliaths arrive to acceptable numbers. Also, I don't think T will go mech in such a muta-strong map. Bio -> mech transition seems the most likely way to see mech in this map. | ||

Also, anyone trying to get mutas out as fast as possible will die to 2fac speed vults anyways. | ||

Bio -> mech transition seems the most likely way to see mech in this map. It might seem like a huge must, but the problem is that a mutas even with a close flying distance can't do much when they don't have room to maneuver or the space for turrets is too large (in this case, the turret space is more to the side yes, but turrets to the side + a quick evac means trapped mutas :/). Sure the distance is close, but a terran who expects mutas is going to be preped. Now what you said about the more likely aspect of bio transition into mech is probably, well, the truth, if anything, M n M + Tanks can do a hell of alot against most anything that is thrown at them at least before Hive tech, though, it just seems like a map that really seems to limit a Zerg's potential on the map. And while it seems unlikely for a "straight up" mech build, if they sac an early tank for goliaths they will have a good shot (and with any early M n M's that they might have built/overbuilt to compensate early). | ||

Anyway, the rush distance was only part of the reason Battle Royale was so imba. Most of the map actually looks fairly standard for a 2 player map. The narrow canyon is interesting, kind of like Hitchhiker, though it will probably be a no-mans-land past 10 minutes. | ||
