I absolutely love the idea of both of these new maps, tres pass for its layout and power bond for its use of the neutral CC in the middle, I've been wondering whether you could have a map that's balanced ZvP-wise, where Zerg gets an infested CC and Protoss gets to have an easy 3rd or 3rd and 4th gas. You guys think that could work?

Also Freakling what do those billboards do on the highground bases on tres pass? Are they the key to fix unit pathfinding on maps, where players start closer to the center of the map away from the edges? Would be absolutely awesome if that can fix that.

This is the most optimal ling-proof wall for the bottom base of Tres:

edit: In case there is any confusion, the scv does NOT need to be there, factory to the right of barracks is impassable by lings and zealots.

This is only optimal if u don't need to put an add-on

also for players on wine, any thoughts about the future and a 64 bit release?

seems to work fine for me (wine-staging on Opensuse, no additional configurations done, just unchecked 32bit option) which is surprisingly nice =)

I only get three vetos, thats the problem. CB and FS eat them all up and then were at the mercy of any other bad maps they put in. If they were free vetos [and more maps] id never complain about them again. lol

So every map is garbage then? Ok.

I think we are lucky with a lot of new maps in SC:BW, compared to for example CS:GO...
If you hate all the ladder maps, find friends and play One-on-One and choose whatever map you want.
Removing FS/CB and adding to complex ASL maps will not be fun for lower rank players.

Well that's hard to say, especially if they're the sort of people that wanna learn by playing without really delving too deep into the builds and timings and all that sort of thing.

Is ranked even working anymore? I waited for 300+ seconds 3 times and gave up, then noticed a bunch of people were creating 1v1 public games and just played that

The new take on raid assault 2 should be fun, but I feel like there’s two too many broken matchups in this map pool. PvP on gladiator is no fun at all, and the neutral cc on powerbond looks like it will just wreck TvZ.

If CCs wrecked TvZ it would be the most broken matchup ever already...

I AM SO ANGRY THAT 2V2 LADDER ISNT HERE...!!
ALSO, WHO CHOOSES THESE MAPS FOR LADDER...?

at this point I would give up on 2v2 ladder.. doesn't seem to be a priority in the slightest

yep i think they straight up lied about it ever being a priority which is pretty shady. i remember last year in may when they said it would be ready before 2019. now all we've heard is that its a 2019 priority and no other news on it
