If you are playing on Fighting Spirit RED color, you are located at 1OC. BLUE = 11OC. TEAL = 7OC. PURPLE = 5OC. Same goes to all ladder maps ATM. I hope someone delivers the message to the Blizzard forum. Source: YGOSU PS: Heard a rumor that this affected for ASL matches also. + Show Spoiler + and I think this is true. | ||

You are confusing showmatches with a tournament match. The trick is to have a competitive, fair and entertaining game. What did Artosis say? 100% Winrate for the favored race across all ASL matches? And for some reason they got rid of the map | ||

And for some reason they got rid of the map I hate to burst your bubble, but tournaments have ALWAYS been the testing ground for "special" maps. Here's a few to consider: Monty Hall, Outsider, Pioneer Period, HitchHiker, Peaks of Beakdu, Blue Storm, 815, Baekmagoji, This isn't even factoring in the proleague only maps like Arkanoid that were equally experimental. As a result of this innovation, a game that hasn't had a balance update since 99 is still a spectator sport. | ||

Do you really believe that this one thing should be the testing ground for a map like that? | ||

I may have explained poorly in the beginning. I think this only happens to all Top vs Bottom mode. Which it affected in ASL. I've gone through the recent ASL vods, colors were only red, blue, teal, and purple. Locations were all fixed. Not just ladder only. | ||

What's worse is you can just click on the alliance tab at the start to see their color and know their spawn location, don't even have to scout to cheese or wait for their scout to come to you to find out their color. . | ||

It's quite balanced, it has produced really good games and it's new, unique and exciting - all of which reward hard working and intelligent players. Which race/matchups do you believe are imbalanced? | ||

Most maps in the past would of been considered radical/experimental only a year before, and would be considered radical/experimental a couple years after release. 'Special' maps that work in a balanced way become standard maps.So where are those special maps that dont favor a single race or rotate instantly out of the pool?

Also, it's not just on FS, it's the same stuff on CB. It seems that the koreans are the ones abusing it. Foreigners probably didn't even know this was a thing until Scan posted. Using VPN and playing with kors, they were abusing it almost every game ... frustrating, but kinda cool to see some neat cheeses and stuff if you know opponent location lol | ||

Additionally, we have reverted the Red vs Blue default colors feature. EDIT: The APM fix didn't make it in. | ||

Only one 1v1 maps? | ||
