> New map 飛上 - Dreamliner (비상-드림라이너 / Fly high - Dreamliner) Introduction
* Type: High ground freefight-type map.
* People: Two players (3'o clock, 6'o clock)
* Size: 128 x 112
* Tyleset : Twilight

* Concept: Freefighting map with battleground composed of three floors and very close air distance. With change in location of major battleground depending on game time and use of air units this map will create variety type of games.

* Characteristics

- First rush route is narrow road on first floor, and spite of being short because the route is surrounded by cliff and narrow it is unsuitable for use of large armies. At the early game it will be used for scouting/pressure and at the late game it will be used for route that can be used for quick army reinforcement.

- Second rush route on the second floor is largest area on the map and is intended to be major battleground; possession of this route will be major stepping stone for map control.

- Third rush route is on the third floor, and though one need to go around quite far to take this route it is also strategical keypoint as player can strike bases placed at the outskirts.

- As listed above the significance of the battle will start to move toward 11'o clock as the game time elapses, but because of short area distance between mains and presence of two island bases later on importance of the use of transport units and air battleground on 5'o clock will also be emphasized. Thus the play that utilizes the entire map will be important.

- 5'o clock, 11'o clock islands and 2-gas bases on the middle: mineral 1000 gas 2500.

great vs best

Oh god the pain of having called Best v Great. Granted, he lost a bunch of probes needlessly in the beginning, and was very late on gas, but still, even two sairs wouldn't have been able to stop that 3 slow-ovie drop from completely demolishing his base.
