Definitely not harder than Horizon Lunar Colony…
Most of the most recent, standard macro focussed 3p maps seem pretty well balanced.
I think there are plenty of good 2p maps. Some of them, particularly the older ones, suffer from lack of resources and weird map split properties, but overall there have been lots of very successful ones over the course of the scene. Only Sylphid for recent 3p maps. 2p maps there's a few but they all have similar traits (z being weakest in split map scenarios, t vs p on 2p maps depends mostly on the pathing/layout). Personally my fav 2p maps is Blue Storm and Overwatch. Anyways, it goes without saying that 4p maps are much easier to balance, that's my main point.
Still they could go with some old well played map, not having 2 spawn locations map means no 4 pool or any early allin. It's kinda weird to not having a 2/3 p. mappool on a league but I'm not complaining, I like macro oriented playstyle, maybe it will allow zergs to not get choked by strong terrans mid game.

WOO! What a lovely surprise :D Always get worried until a new official event announcement. If Artosis and co aren't casting, I hope they let Nyoken take a crack if he's interested.

Flash yes! Sad to see no bisu. I guess we'll have to wait a bit longer till ASL 9 to see him again.
Nice to see that Inner Coven made it, that'll make for some very unqiue games to say the least. I had a lot of fun on it in customs.

I find it fascinating that the league is happy to have the event hosted on a 3rd party stream channel. I guess they're incentivized to have many separate channels continue to be successful since as the stream provider their #1 priority is long term health of the platform.
I guess afreeca as a whole benefits when users use their platform that they really don't care, in fact if you have an afreeca stream and ask for permission from afreeca or a user, you could just restream ASL or that user for that matter, ASL gets more views from other streamers than it does the official stream.

don't take it as an indication that Bisu won't participate in the actual tournament.

That they do not need to pay professional casters might be a reason.
Very good point!

VOD not up yet?
It's not on until tomorrow no?

Oh yeah, it starts on Wednesday, nevermind. Don't know why I thought it was today.

Is that the definite map pool for the next season or is it subject to change?
|
For now it's the map pool for the official map test round. The pool as well as the maps themselves are still subject to change (note map version numbers below 1.00 as well!).
|
Glad to hear that. I agree with people saying that perhaps we could use a proper 2 player map. Perhaps they could try rebalancing Whiteout and give it another try? :-)

Now that freakling is in the business of making barriers only a worker can cross did they fire the guy who made gold rush and block chain?

The Troy style assimilator barriers are interesting in a different way though.
