The lower choke passage being a choked passage makes this somewhat diff from RoV.
I doubt this will be a Z map. And it looks nothing at all like Battle Royal... nothing.

Jalstar is just... amazing. In a bad way.

I bet that it is made for EffOrt.. First they had it in a huge plane container, then give a plane to EffOrt, and now a map?

I like this map quite a lot. Especially PvT looks like it would be interesting, since it's a solid macro map but not quite as constricted as say Fighting Spirit.

Zerg will be under pressure to rush air early game, but a Terran have such an easy route to 5 mineral lines and 4 gases... just a siege line w/ Depots and turrets = no zerg push... That last choke could also be siege tank fodder (by the fourth gas)... but I don't think zerg should try air here, it's too easy for a terran to expect it and thus play a bit defensive and now, at best, you have 900 mins and gas in air units that can't do anything to turrets and goliaths...

Zerg v Protoss might be a bit better for Zerg, but it still seems like Protoss would have a decent time moving in (4th gas will be difficult by then cuz of Swarming Cracklings).

9 pool might be the best build in ZvZ cuz guess how long it takes for your mutas to get to the 12 hatch Zerg? Sure lings might take awhile but your tech advantage will mean that a 12 hatch zerg is just gonna lose later (heck I don't think 12 pool with do too well either). Not very long (they could go Spores, but that's still hurting their econ while letting you have a tech and potentially expo oppurtunity as well.

Xibit says "yo dawg we know you like to play in the korean air osl so we put a plane on your game so you are on a plane while you play.. "... dunno if its well balanced or not.. short air distance means more zerg air pressure.., maybe some doom drops.. or slow drops.. lol
