Visually speaking the maps don't excite me. Electric circuit hurts my eyes, Sniper Ridge is too symmetrical and 3 of the 4 remaining maps are on twilight tileset. Feature wise the set looks pretty diverse so I'm sure there will be a healthy variety of strategies used. In the end all that matters is balance so hopefully Bisu and co., were just exaggerating when they said the maps were bad for protoss.

Jade looks like a decent macro map, not bad.

Ground Zero screams TvZ late game imbalance, late mech will decimate zergs. T>>P imo.

Electric Circuit seems like it's gonna be very late game orientated, such an easy third gas :O Just hoping that pathing doesn't mess up too much.

I am totally digging Outlier. Such a sexy map. Might see some crazy cheeses as well (barracks lift, pylon jump -> proxy gateways, digging out minerals to sneak lings Destination-style, etc)

Chain reaction is such a wild deviation from their normal maps, I really love it. It discourages late game/macro games, has a huge flankable mid and so many alternative paths....

Overall, quite pleased with the map pool.

PROLEAGUE CAN'T START FAST ENOUGH


When the maps are available we should play so you can gay me with mech and I can respond with speedling allins ^______^.

i'll show u how 200/200 3/3 tanks taste like

i think everyone needs to right-click copy image url and then zoom in as much as possible with ctrl+ for zoom. then click the + to magnify to max, and view the maps.. slowly i might add.

edit: i think sniper ridge will be one of the favorites in the future. :S

I can see what Bisu was saying about not a lot of open space in the middle to move around units.. Nonetheless, I'm excited to see what kind of strategies the pros will use on these maps!

i'm kinda disappointed with the aesthetics though. maps like dante's peak SE, odd-eye, triathlon (notice they're all MSL maps) were beautiful yet produced some of the best games ever.

kespa needs to make more MSL-grade maps.

Oh yeah i almost forgot.

Cant wait to see these on: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Protoss_Fast_Expand_Forge_Walling

The only map I see giving trouble is Electric Circuit wide chokes.

Does anyone else only see a swastika in the middle of Sniper Ridge? This is a big change from "Shinhan Bear" and Protoss Plains.

yeah, I laughed when I first saw it. plainly it's not a sign associated with mass murder in the far east, but living in Germany it's just an... unexpected sight.

Nonetheless, I expect great games, Bisu, no excuses!!!

Whoa....SO many low-ground maps.

Chain reaction and Outlier are either gonna be super cool, or total flops I feel like.

Chain Reaction really looks like what's it called... forgot the name, but it was this snow map with super close air distances.
Electric Circuit is just Medusa for four players.
Jade reminds me of Fighting Spirit.

I wonder how Sniper Ridge will fare, given the imagery that it contains, but other than that a new map pool is always a great thing to spice up the league. I wonder what new maps the OSL will have

in the east the reverse swastika is an ancient buddhist symbol and has been used as such way before adolf came and gave it an negative connotation.

yeah chain reaction and sniper ridge in particular look difficult for toss

Jade = Byzantium

I really like Electric Circuit though, I have a feeling it's going to become the new standard map. It's got potential for cheesy games, crazy strats, and epic macro games. Also the map has a lot of innate strategic potential with the Medusa-esque second entrance, backdoor min-only, easy 3 gas, choke points in the center, and Andromeda-esque side expansions.
8/4/12 never forget, never forgive.
