I do not have exact dates/times for the other qualifiers at this time, but they have started almost immediately after the wildcard for the past two seasons. | ||

It's the tiles that provide the cover. Ice terrain trees do provide cover, but they are also composed of (almost) entirely unwalkable tiles, so effectively there's no cover behind trees on Ice maps. Some of the more bulky building-like doodads provide cover, however. Random tips: Put units above or to the left of (or diagonally left and above) Jungle trees to give them cover. Badlands trees (also Jungle Dirt trees) also do provide cover around them, but you have to "hug" them pretty closely (and with sufficiently small units O_o) to make it work. Apart from that most of the shack-like doodads and some of the plants in Desert terrain provide cover too. Best place units to the left or right directly next to them. Nothing else in the game provides cover. On December 18 2018 03:42 Qikz wrote: They're on the blog, Jukado explained before that the links keep changing so even if he posts them the link will 404. I guess you could rehost on imgur Reuploading them is but a minute of work O_o… EDIT: Speaking of cover: Why is there now a cover bug on top of the ramp to the left main of Whiteout?! There's also one up the ramp in the ~6:30 base (this one's been there from the beginning though…). + Show Spoiler [show image] + ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/N7m0JJy.jpg) Players take notes: In case these are not fixed – these are the spots where you need to put your defensive units (like Lurkers) to give them that little juicy extra defensive boost! | ||

BlockChain should offer truly unique games every time, as the strategies can be different whether the bases are connected by the main, connected by the natural, or not connected at all. Whiteout is the kind of map the players might complain about. The use of vision blockers is so unusual that I imagine this could destabilise the meta, though it'll be interesting to see how the players learn to deal with it. | ||

Whiteout seems a little bizarre. Will it even be much fun to play on? Tough expos, weird dead space with ramps leading nowhere...I think we will see aggressive strategies on this map. I would rather see a map like Aztec than Sylphid. I agree with an earlier comment that it feels too small. | ||

Also am i seeing that right ? Is that double gas expansions on Blockchain ? That makes me look forward for even the practice games on stream. How does double gas expansions affect the races compared to mineral heavy maps ? Sparkle made that ro16 really really fun. I mean if it was about stability watching why not just go endless Fighting Spirit or something.

Yep this makes me really look forward for broodwar. To be honest i got really excited and watch almost all ro16 last season because of the sparkle map. I was pretty much just a casual viewer but after the introduction of the sparkle map i almost watched every single game of ksl/ASL since then. And i'm sure the players will be able to do something with Whiteout. They dealt with island maps like sparkle. They'll manage | ||
