Testing maps won't be much use if map-makers don't adjust the maps based on progamers' recommendations for balance.

yea, what happened to the progamer map testing events? Every year they had SOME sort of map test going on I think, last year being pretty entertaining.. dammit I just want some form of Proleague to tide me over until 10-11 Season finally starts D:

The maps are really nice. I like benzene, the different paths you can take and the terrain structure can result in some nice games.

Pretty sure they'll get progamers to test it too, they're just releasing it to the public first so that they can get initial feedback.

Well maybe the pro players test the maps but don't report the little quirks they find, hoping to take advantage of them when the real season starts, but then it turns out almost everyone has discovered the same quirks.

With all of the "OMG BW IS DEAD" stuff since the end of the OSL, it's really nice to see a thread like this to remind me that at least Proleague is here for another year. Go BW!

most of them look very protoss friendly.
just made for microing fucktons of dragoons, but just enough cliffs for carrier play.
here we go for some new golden age of toss
just kidding, golden age of flash wont end but toss can be the new threat to him
All what KT currently needs is a Zerg and a second Terran

Looking at middle hill...

4 hatch muta spam into 8 hatch muta spam anybody? Natural, two backdoor expos and very little space behind the mineral lines. Then again, toss can have really strong FE/sair play, but it looks like a TvZ nightmare.

for Central Plains/Middle Hill (central plains sounds nicer, seriously),

no pool 4 hatch 4 gas REALLY seems like a strong build, especially if the opponent is going 14cc or 12nexus or some shit. could lead to a lot of interesting games on that map.

i think kespa deserves to get a ranking on the PR for epicness. Benzene looks like match point, but with some more high ground and more expansions. needs an ash world tileset... Bloody ridges is just baller.. although a lot of maps make scouting a dream. 3 entrances, and then u can try to proxy or someting. bloody ridge looks favored for terran with tanks sieges up in the ridges... look for nice tvt action on these. aztec screams 4 base for zerg... protect large rank for 3 bases, and then take the base next to the big ramp. circuit breakers looks more like a breed between andromeda and nemesis... punch bowl is like chupeng ryeong, screams 2 base, and impossible to get a 3rd =/. look for quick 2 hatch plays by zerg

Tell them there's no need; Pholon and I already tested some out.

Circuit Breakers and Benzene get the thumbs up; Aztec gets a thumbs down!

Map features that are good for tanks and turtling are pretty obvious, whereas map features that promote Protoss/Zerg play are a little more subtle. Hence the common reaction of "Terran maps".


Sounds about right. It seems like everyone's first glance over any map is what you can hit with tanks from where or how many gases Terran can turtle. I'd like to say that our initial map evaluations get better over time, but I think it's more prudent to wait for the games and Bisu's interviews before we really pass judgment.

Battle Royale looks like games will be wierd to play on. I predict that a 4 pool will be the favored bo on this map, with the bases so close together.

it's a two player map, the opponent would scout it and prepare for it so easily

i dont think theres gonna be many z's playing on battle royale at all
8 rax -> mech is ridiculously strong due to the rush distances and the tight chokes, if they pool first you just defend behind your assims and the vulture is out before their hatch is done, if they hatch first the bunker rush rapes them.

What would you say is the most balanced map in the pool IdrA?
i dont really know how outsider is gonna play out
battle royale is massively anti zerg
gods garden is massively anti terran
heartbreak ridge seems like its gonna favor terran

I think Circuit Breakers favor terran over protoss because the main is small so it gonna be alot easier defending against shuttle play and recalls, the expansions are fairly close to each other and the center of the map is pretty small as well.
