FS/CB is Blizzard's stale map policy. Afreeca has long moved on, so no danger of that in ASL. Polypoid and Karma are just so very similar. If I had to chose I'd go with Karma right now. It's better executed in many aspects. I particularly like that it's the only one of the finalist maps with well-designed ramps (apart from a little blind spot on the top right main ramp, probably just an oversight). Only has some mining issues. If I were to suggest any changes to either of these I would say more attention should be put on how units move between the naturals. It's always good to have multiple equidistant routes around the map. Pathing right now seems to be focussed to much on the sides and even through the third bases rather than guiding units towards the middle. | ||

It's still too much uncharted territory and speculation in that area, but I hope Afreeca is staying true to their map crazy maps policies and going down that road (while not overcrowding their map pool with potentially balance breaking stuff!).

I voted for coven, and flightpath, although I was more looking forward to seeing some games on flightpath as an interesting island map. I also voted karma, because the open middle allows good battles/engagements. | ||

I still think there are some real problems with how maps are selected and analyzed across the board, but Afreeca seem to be one of the only ones headed in the right direction, albeit not as far or as fast as I would like to see. Hopefully they continue to move toward less standard and stale maps while maintaining vigilance on often overlooked problems or technical details that become apparent during play. | ||

2 out of 3 that I've voted for are in.. But I have to say i'm still kinda not content, because I really wanted Fatal Combat to make it.. But I have to say i'm still kinda not content, because I really wanted Fatal Combat to make it.. And two out of three of these maps are very similar to eachother.. I would go with Karma from these 2 tbh. Looks more interesting. Anyways, I Can't wait to see some professional games on these. ASL > KSL every day, any day. | ||

Was that intentional?
