meh, looks mediocre at best.

MSL's map pool should have triathlon permanently in place.

Every single map looks terran favored at first glance. I remember IdrA saying that battle royale (a map where flash couldn't beat oversky) was a "zerg graveyard"

and OF COURSE Bisu v Flash is on that map.. let's hope it's not T Favored..

poor bisu, always getting screwed..

Until Group D is finished i will change my sig to f... you hydra! i hope thats allowed. it's my opinion that this was one of the most despiseable moves ever in the history of the MSL Ceremony.

Dear god... long air distance(mutas inefficient), easily tankable+minable tight chokes halving the map, island expansions(difficult for zerg to protect against drops), highground nat(making midgame hydra/lurker aggression impossible)... zerg is going to be absolutely massacred here. The positioning of the island might make it work as a "haven" for pvt carrier builds though, with protoss being able to stay there for safety and strike any terran expansion with terran having trouble reacting.

There's Empire of the Sun, and Eye of the Storm, and before that there was Troy.
Except those maps have some spare highground space outside nat, this map only has room for a bit of static defense/mines making midgame aggression inefficient

Actually reminds me of Destination in that it appears Terran-favored until you realize that Terrans would have to spread their army out over the entire map.

I feel bad for Zerg already... Like where's the third going to be? Corner expo looks really far away and the other one right above/below your nat looks really vulnerable.


Pro Zergs already take a far third, plus you can just take the island for your fourth since other races can't mass drop.
Zerg is the disadvantaged race in drop play, that is why island maps were removed in the first place. And especially with the highground next to island expos(safe siege/mnm/templar drops ), it will be very difficult to utilize it for zergs
Aah thats the stuff..

Main's minerals are cornered -> no muta harass
2nd expansion allows turrets to be built behind the minerals -> no muta harass
2nd expansion on high ground -> Terran two base play is going to be the standard in every single TvZ
Slow drops have a very small range to work with.

I fear for the Swarm.

Bwahahaha, this never fails; people always say maps are T-favoured when they see them for the first time. Always. XD

Yeeees a new map! Looks good. Lower than normal resources for a pro-map.

Are you kidding? There's so many different ways to play this map. Gameplay options = better than your average bear map

People contradict each other a million times about the balance of a map. The fact of the matter is that you never know until it gets played out on TV for a year. Sometimes races even initially have trouble but then adapt.

ROFL. I knew exactly what half of the post gonna be (zomg terran imba! zerg has no chance!!) and it still craks me up.

I wonder why is that though. Are people just shitty when it comes to evaluating maps or is there some undertone on hating terran in general?

ok... if only~ zerg could get the expansion early, get the island expo and the 4th next to it... then have a 5th above the fourth... then somehow retain map control and shutting down expos... they'll win every time~....

but seriously... i don't see a very viable strategy for zerg... Jaedong will just pull out with pure brilliance~
