Carriers? Particularly easy to micro them if they try to push there.

Some of these maps look so awesome, I'm so looking forward to the next season after all the bs and uncertainties from the Blizz/KeSPA/Gretech shit.

Icarus looks fucking sweet.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

on first look for me, empire of the sun and punchbowl area area very terran favored, due to terrans being easily able to secure 3 bases on these maps, tight areas AND on punchbowl area there are pairs of connecting naturals, if terran opponents get unlucky spawn it will be so fucking easy to push into opponents

circuit breaker looks to me to be the most balanced/new python/fighting spirit. relatively easy for terran to secure third, but will be relatively hard to push out due to the wide area in the middle

the other maps look like pretty anti-terran to me on first impression. very easy to mass expand for in pvt or zvt and prevent the expansions from being taken down by terrans quickly. large flat areas in middle hill/aztec. on bloody ridge it looks like four gases can be gotten pretty damn easily for a zerg (2 lurkers on each ramp?) whilst terran has to walk out of base to transport defenses to their thirds. benzene has a backdoor to their main, incredibly long rush distance. terrans actually have to push uphill which makes it harder and theres a wide area after the push in which z or p can use to attack and delay push. actually, benzene is probably t favored two but to a lesser degree

this is my noob analysis

Benzene is gonna produce some VERY interesting TvZ's, I'm looking forward to that one.

wow the situation this quite depressing one because no longer they have creativity almost all seems much to previous.

Benzene = Match Point

Bloody Ridge = Heartbreak Ridge

Middle Hill = Outsider SE

Circuit Breakers = Fighting Spirit

Empire of the sun = Eye of the Storm

this is my opinion

Yeah that was my exact thought when I saw Empire of the sun lol. Don't like these new maps really :<

I keep seeing old maps in these. benzene and matchpoint, blue storm and bloody ridge, aztec and bloody ridge, eye of the storm and empire of the sun, circut breaker and fighting spirit, icarus and desperado. punchbowl area doesn't look like any other, but it seems like you can bombard 3 bases from one spot on top of the ledge by the water at the 2 oclock position

edit: I fell silly after looking 3 posts up.
