for sure. All other maps look either too complicated or too boring. I really hope they will chose these three. Would love to see couple of high level games played on these, too. | ||

No CB or FS in the ASL, please.. I think they won't be adding CB and FS.. this is not the KSL  things are interesting here. | ||

Wake up KSL I voted for: Flight Path; Inner Coven and Fatal Combat. I would've loved to choose a 4 players map too but I get way too much Python/FS vibes from this ones.

This way mutas, guardians and Carriers can stop a ground force to get trough the bridges.

Edit: Also with the addition of Dark Swarm it would be a pain to see units under the mess, for players but mostly for viewers. | ||

It means that ranged attacks have a 15/32 miss chance. Though Dwebs, or Dark Swarms as well, placed on vision blocking terrain are also interesting concepts (example map). I am working on some concepts like that actually. Edit: What about that map with no eggs? Imba? Zerglings being able to flood in from 3 directions? Sure, if you want to completely break all of Protoss' hopes and dreams (and that's just one of the things that would be completely imba). | ||

The beacons take on player colours, so Zerg can get an almost direct scout by sending an Overlord to the centre and then to the enemy base (Terran can use a floating rax for the same purpose). All bases have fast mining geysers (full mining rate on three workers), which is good for low worker count economies such as Zerg's (though this is maybe less prominent on island maps where you can drone up more aggressively early on). Likewise generally low mineral counts, but lots of bases, should help with Zerg, who rely on gas the most, particularly in the mid game tech-up stages. All the centre bases are connected by ground, albeit only by long, relatively narrow paths, so players do not have to rely entirely on air superiority. If that's not enough, I can also add some stuff that delays Protoss (and Terran, to some degree) in taking their second base (think of Neo Arkanoid but using some more advanced/modern tricks). | ||

Oh ye I see what you mean, Doodads/high ground vs vision block/high ground/sprites. I like much more the idea of vision block on that map bridges but a cliff/doodad advantage would be interesting to switch the map meta a little bit in favor of ground units (which I like more than pure islands on this map). So what about no eggs just for the middle road entrances? I mean zealots and scarabs are much stronger than lings in narrow passages.

That's amazing. Is it possible for a scouting feature like this to become more common in future map making taking in account the amount of whiners about initial scouting RNG on 4 players maps? | ||

Very cool but remember Sparkle was T>P. Would be nice if P had some buffs vs Terran. But you surely know a lot more than me mapmaking wise. Felt like Wraith/Valks just melted Corsairs on Sparkle. And T had a higher win percentage in TvP than P. | ||

Been really busy for the past year and I'm craving some BW. I love these new maps. Glad to see this place is still alive and there's still ASL running. See you in the LR thread if there's one. <3 <3 <3 | ||

Also he's directly seeded to ro16. If I was him I would surely play because it's not like he's not even touching keyboard, he still playing , just needs to take it easy. | ||

not sure if you know what you are asking for, these crazy ''creative'' maps often give the same type of games / abuses of imbalances of the map resulting in dull gameplay take sparkle for instance at first its quite interesting to see some unit combs and well maybe its not the best example since we did not have a island map since forever but overall looking back island maps.... it was not like we are super excited to have these on again if you have watched all the sparkle games i really doubt people are likes yess this i want to see again and again lets have more island maps next tournament general consensus is its fun for a bit but rather not have sparkle again... thus tasteless&artosis | ||

If 910 is in charge, then I'm pretty afraid we won't see the best maps again.. Hope i'm wrong. | ||

There is lots to be discovered in terms of balance... seeing what works and what doesn't. Even if all island maps are just inherently imbalanced they have not been explored as much as typical ground-based maps. Maybe it's a side of Brood War that we just haven't seen. But as you pointed out, do we really have to do this on the biggest stage with money on the line? Well, there's not many other ways to test maps out nowadays... | ||

1. You have still an airway to attack your enemy 2. You can take all-in before gases are destroyed 3. You play Terran vs Bisu. Do you think who will win? He admitted in interviews that he did not focus on map or player-specific builds but rather worked out of straight-up builds executed to perfection. NaDa | ||
