I really like the new maps - but seriously Kespa, did you smoke pot while selecting Punchbowl Area?

I don't wanna play PvT on 9 vs 12 or 3 vs 6. Looks horrible for the toss.

You are right. Terran can take three expansions and defend them all extremely easily, and then make a huge push through that extremely narrow path. T_T. What a nightmare. Still, maybe carriers + templars would work against that? The narrowness could end up being bad for the terran in that situation.

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.

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.

The mapmakers surely recognized this, so I doubt that tanks can pass through that narrow choke near the gas.

Bloody Ridge will suck from a scouting perspective, assuming its picked we'll have to see how things turn out, though yeah it will likely lead to far less daring openings.

I am really looking forward to see pro's handling these maps. Some of them look terran favorite though and none of them looks really good for protoss, i guess dark age for protoss is coming..

Punchbowl gets my vote for not being space or jungle.

God I love looking at new maps. I don't know why, it's just fun.
