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.

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.

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

Wow, I love the looks of these maps. Looking forward to results!

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.
