If you have any infromation that im not seeing on the stats of this maps I'd like to know. It is one of the most statistically balanced maps period, tau cross and blue storm are pretty high too, although I beleive that Blue storm is T favored. http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/maps/237_Fighting Spirit  Fighting SpiritThey dont have 100% accurate info calculated from every single game ever, but yes, Fighting Sprit is balanced very well. | ||

(top left has more bases than bottom right has mineral patches T_T) i dont even know what i should say anymore...... the map needs big changes just to be playable. and when that time comes, there will be max 2 weeks to actually prepare. great What is even your complaint? I don't even understand what you think is wrong about the map. If you have a gripe about a map at least have one that is reasonable, for example that you think it favors a particular race, or you think the games will be boring. Are you really complaining that one player can just "take all the bases" on the top left of the map as if both players won't be trying to do that? | ||

(perceived or otherwise) map imbalance being the key reason you lose is one of the most frustrating thing to conceive for a hardcore ladder player what seems fun and exciting for the casual spectator may be drab and shitty for the hardcore player and vice versa. | ||

Only 1 resource node between them. 3 disabled installation doors separate the two bases and the ground paths from the rest of the map. Looks like another Z map, Z pretty much has a 3rd uncontested gas, and they can use units from Hatcheries to attack other expansions in the "locked" zone while P and T will have to use drops to attack. eh... a toss can just as easily float a probe through those gates as a zerg can a drone. Gateways/cannons also build faster than hatcheries so it's not like a zerg can get to the "other side" and crank out units before a protoss can establish a foothold. Zerg can build 1 of his first 3 hatcheries on the other side, true. But if a Protoss wanted to they could build 4 of their first 5 gateways on that side. Protoss fast expoing to the other side would be the end of the 3hatch hydra bust. Zerg can not bust into the main with cannons on that ramp and they definitely aren't busting the fast expo on the other side if they only have 1 of their first 3 hatcheries on that side. With corsair to dominate the air, a greedy fast expo, and the ability to throw down a bunch of cheap gateways on the other side of the map, I like P a lot more over Z on this map. | ||

Match fixing in WEGL, ASL5 Ro24. He has been suspected as matchfixing from SonicLeague to now. Also, Sky introduce matchfixing broker to Larva, but Larva was not related in matchfixing. 2 more players will be inspected. | ||

This is soo fucking pathetic, over and over again. I think you will survive, these sort of things happen in professional sports all the time, especially with all of these young gamers in eSports, and how the BW scene has no pro teams and such right now, i'm not surprised this is happening really. I still will love the game and continue to play, it is just sad. | ||

The llast thing we want is TL to turn into a witch hunt. | ||

God damn you are so talented and we protoss fans needed to believe in you. Quite a few new names have emerged in post kespa era, but for some freak reason they have pretty much never been protoss users. I cared about you because i thought you cared about bw. Because you were the sole representative of protoss "new blood". And now you gone and shit all over the effort you put into this game and all the people who had faith in you. I can't believe it. Why even root for Sky when there's Rain! They entered the BW scene around the same time back in 2010 | ||

I pretty much root for any protoss player, so of course i love Rain. | ||

Goodness, people are acting like Sparkle is a permanent, FS level addition to the scene. It'll probably be gone after this season, well before play on it gets boring. But how long do you think an audience will keep interested in this kind of development if ultimately the competitive aspect suffers from it? Virtually no one wants the era of grinding FS/CB ad nauseam to continue forever, in fact most people don't want to see games on these maps any more, so don't pretend this is what people take exception to. There are just better, more organic ways to incentivise change and evolve meta and map pool. We now have an absurd situation where Afreeca and the Korean map making scene are still years behind the curve when it comes to even observing their own stated basic quality standards for map execution, but want to revolutionize the game with maps that look overall poorly thought out and hastily thrown together. | ||
