Zerg will be imbalanced on this map. Lurkers stop all kind of movement.

Man you gotta learn2fly.

Honestly though, it does look like it is almost too easy to set up a containment. Would have to test to make sure of course. I also think that if Protoss can get them off the ground, Carriers would be rather useful.

Not really sure what my opinion is on the fastest minerals.

with those minerals I'm thinking that 9 hatch strats are alot more economic than 12 hatch, other than the obv 4/5pool imbaness.
I wanna play it for sure though 8D

With those chokes, PvT will be impossible on this map, maybe apart from Carrier builds. Toss ground army will get stuck all the time and without room for flanking, breaking the mech pushes is going to be impossible.

Besides, if the game goes past 20 minutes, moving large armies along those passages will become complete pain in the ass. For instance, if T is outside his main and Toss makes a Recall, he can wall himself in with one self-Stasis and kill everything. Any kind of Lurker or Tank + Bunker contain will also be impossible to break.

Gases should generally be on top, bottom geysers only give 260gas/minute while top ones gives 300gas/minute
The small 'Dirt bridges" can be blocked by a single rax against zerglings?

Some of the mineral formations can be more aesthetically pleasing. Also the amount of minerals is important, becausd P gets the most out of more minerals. Resource distributions usually 9 main, 7~8 natural, 6~7 3rd

the third doesn have one choke, which could be pronlematic for Zerg

Th3re is veryy little room for flanks as mentioned above.

Especially due to the orientation of the ramps leading to the third, contains with siege tanks very powerful.

I will post more later when I wake up

Interesting map, I'd like to try it

. However the late game in TvP must be hard for the protoss. Maybe without these green high grounds at the thirds bases it would be better... Also maybe setting the third base as only mineral expand ?

walls are going to be something that I will have to experiment with. I hoped for 1 gate zealot to stop early pools. A patch will be coming.

With the dirt bridges no. On the high ground above the half ramps a player could wall with barracks ling tight I believe. With Protoss a lingtight pylon block works.
