Uh oh. Let's hope the Blizzard mapmaking team isn't doing a slow sabotage of the BW maps.

Anyways, these maps look quite interesting. Gonna hold all my reservations until I see some games on them. However, I'll miss Benzene. It was such a cool-looking map, IMO.

I don't really see any Terran imba on either maps.

I do see though that mutas won't be that great on beltway.

Well, there goes my Protoss stacked FPL team.

Beltway looks remarkably oldschool for some reason. Inside bases, distant 3rd gas, fairly open. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Alternative looks interesting. Not sure how to categorize it, but i'm excited to see how it plays out.
I cheer for underdogs and Flash

I knew something was missing from the upcoming PL season. Beltway looks really really cute but the name is disappointing :\

And lol at Alternative, is that really the map name?

A: Hey wanna play on Benzene?
B: Nah, how about Alternative?
A: Alternatives? How about FS or Python then?
B: Nono ALTERNATIVE
A: o.o wut

That's also a lot of map changes, both the Carrier maps got changed.

What was wrong with Benzene and Empire of the Sun?

Thanks for the updates.
MMOs kill APM. However Proleague plus BW Proscene music increase APM -> 100. 이제동 Fighting! Highest ranked Jaedong owner in FPL10 = clearly #1 Jaedong fan~! <- Keeping my sig from 2010

Beltway is like Forbidden Zone with ramps and more expos

Alternative looks amazing but a third gas looks difficult to take

Just poking fun at how often its easiest to evaluate the effectiveness of tanks seeing as the have the most range. If you look back at previous "new maps" theres always a majority that believe its terran favoured. But hey maybe they have point? Why else would we have four terran bonjwa.

I know the obligatory "Tank imba on every new map" thing....I do it myself but I just don't see it on either of these maps.

These maps don't look Terran favored to me, personally. I think Zerg will do better in Proleague now, just saying.
