Can veterans weigh in and give some advice on which maps to veto and which maps might be good for a certain race?

(2) Blue Storm 1.2

(2) Heartbreak Ridge 2.1

(3) Polaris Rhapsody 1.0

(4) Aztec 2.1

CB and FS are returning.

FORGOT TO ADD: ROADKILL! By Freakling.

i'm vetoing cb/fs for obvious reasons (overplayed to death and just not fun to play on).

my last veto is a toss up between hbr and blue storm - leaning towards hbr at the moment.

Man I just realized roadkill is a different map from shades of twilight lol...

vetoing cb because square safe money maps can go fuck themselves. might veto bs for my terran and possibly protoss at least until i can be assed to learn its FE.

Blue Storm is supposed to be a good Z>T map.

Congrats Freakling for your map being chosen. I am happy for you. Your hard work paid off.

I veto'd BS/Polaris/Roadkill (BS cus im too rusty atm so i'll just get tilted by the pathing, i dislike Polaris and i don't feel like learning how to play on Roadkill right now), i'll unveto BS when im a bit less rusty.

imo:

(2) Blue Storm: P > T (only if P goes Carriers, if Arb style T > P) // P > Z (if P plays passive/turtle split map style) // T > Z
(2) Heartbreak Ridge: P > T // Z > P // T > Z
(2) Polaris Rhapsody: P > T // Z > P (really comes down to denying P from taking the double gas exp) // T > Z (SK terran style)
(3) Neo Aztec: pretty balanced other than T > Z maybe
(4) Roadkill: new map so I dunno yet, looks T favored tho (especially TvZ)
(4) Circuit Breakers
(4) Fighting Spirit

in conclusion: zerg is gonna get shrekt by terran

GTR I'm so happy there's someone else that feels like this. FS and CB are boring as hell and it's my one dissappointment that they're never going to go away :/

I think my final veto I won't use for now, but depending on how Roadkill plays on ladder (I've only ever played it in customs) then I might veto that.

Polaris blows. The other maps are fine. Blue Storm is great. Bring RoV back too!

I don't like any of the maps. Nothing with unique play styles, nothing with any island expansions. Just cookie cutter maps that are really all the same with the same meta.

Aztec I believe is still P > T because arbiters are insane on that map.

Love the maps! Polaris and HBR are two of my most favorite maps. FS, CB and Aztec are "safe" and nice, haven't really gotten a feel toward Roadkill yet, but really cool that it's Freakling's and all that.

Blue Storm pathing always does pose its challenges, but it's hard not to like the map nonetheless.

Persoanlly looking very much forward to playing ladder with these maps.! :-)
It's ok. I still love you <3

Am I the only one who likes a balanced map like CB so that as a a zerg I don't have to to the following?

1) Fight extra hard for my third base
2) Fight extra hard to get the limited number of expansions that are available on smaller maps (eg 2 player maps).
