Good work! I would agree with most, if not all of his arguments as well. | ||

Not gonna lie though, was hoping the youtube would have some English. Guess he had someone translate the article for him? | ||

He made a video about it and we reached out to him to talk with us about his thoughts in a form that we could more easily translate.

He does upload games there, so no Korean is needed to watch those. On April 21 2017 21:04 Marl wrote: Excellent read, disgusting map. Flash not getting toppled anytime soon.  Well, they have shown willingness to revise maps during a tournament. It might end up being okay by the finals. If you get lucky, it's also possible to play some mirror matchups on bad maps. | ||

However, since that would basically mean redoing the whole map from scratch (actually not quite as bad, if basic shapes are kept the same, so stuff can just be copied over), it is probably out of scope. Was thinking the same thing, I know you suggested this already. I think the problem with the third gas base is that while it may be easy for the Zerg to get, it is also easy for the Terran to get. Then the 4th gas base is really hard for zerg to get/hold. By that time Terran is switching over to mech. I think it is important for the Third to be easy for Zerg but not easy for Terran, here it is easy for both. And the Protoss vs Terran matchup seems to be a distance problem. The larger map size would help, and this would allow Protoss more time to react to a Terran's actions. Also there might be a need for more buildable space in the mains or somewhere else. | ||

Camelot is a nice map to play at a lower level, certainly points to it being terran favored, but generally the onus is on protoss and zerg to find something to abuse to beat a very mechanically solid terran. I think that a reasonably quick 4 base protoss economy can be quite effective, reasonably easy position to hold, and throwing army into the terran seems fairly effective here, hard for terran to take a 4th. If he does though, the map split is inevitable, but I think the tools here are understated. PvZ seems fine to me as well, multi pronged zerg attacks have potential, as well as the open area is good for zerg to fight in, but protoss has the benefit of having only two reasonably narrow choked to fight in with good positioning, as well as zerg having a harder time taking bases. TvZ does look fairly hard for zerg to me, but they aren't my races so I don't know. With FS/CB meta sure, terran looks good, but I think we're neglecting other things that can be pulled out from the zerg arsenal. I've been enjoying the games on the map thus far. | ||
