the first two maps are depressing to look at

Optimizer looks absolutely amazing, I love the layout idea. Needs some tweaking, tho. It is a 0.8 version after all

Ringing bloom looks interesting, the most "standard" from these three.

I don't like Eclipse though. Looks super imbalanced and just weird.

Hope at least 2 of these 3 will make the final cut. Would be nice to see some tournaments being played on these before the ASL. Just like the old proleague days where they tested the maps before season starts

So i Wish we could get protoss favoured maps, something with like 15 minerals in the main, A Forge+gate tight walled natural, and plenty of room in the main for gateway buildings. But unfortunately, as usual, the maps dont favour protoss. Sad situation of events but Lets hope the map gods shine light on protoss some day, even if it might be a bit further away in the future than what we would prefer.

Rising Bloom seems like a good map for Protoss to deal with both Zerg and Random. Hydra Busts won't be a problem and neither will ling busts.

Pretty slick. Fingers crossed for ASL 11 to have something similar

Map makers be sweating since they somehow need to make maps that aren't favored towards random

Jokes aside these look pretty interesting, I think Ringing Bloom looks like it will make for some cool games

Ringing Bloom Bloom is made in such a way that Protoss can open gateway first in wall in every matchup hahaha.

The link to 910's blog also lists a third map: Shakuras Temple. What's about that one?

EDIT: Seems to currently have some massive mining problems. Why are there two 2020 mineral patches in the centre? Seems completely pointless, you cannot build anywhere near them, even distance mining is way too inefficient to ever have any conceivable use.

EDIT: Has been added to the OP now…

However! I am liking that design with some possibilities of backdoor mineral shenanigans.

Other two maps look pretty cool visually, but ringing bloom is gonna lead to some stale games ala: god's garden.

Eclipse just looks super cool, it's completely mirrored but visually looks different cause of the tile change. Very nice 👍


But it isnt mirrored tho? It is supposed to mirror diagonally right? Unless Im going blind, it doesnt, it is somewhat close, but close is not a mirror xD

But hey, if im the only one seeing it, maybe it is a problem with my eyes/brain, nvm.

To analyze this problem you'd need to better describe what you'd consider not mirrored!

I actually like all the maps, very interested how they will play like. There seems to be a lot of potential for new plays, especially optimizer and ringing bloom.

You are right, it is not completely mirrored. There are a few minor differences, like the ramps near the top and at the ramps at middle below the water. Perhaps diagonally mirrored but at a slight off angle say, 40 degrees instead of 45 degrees. Whether that is significant or not is another question.

The map is not square to begin with, so a perfect geometrical symmetry would not even work…

So what does this mean? Can any one just submit map suggestions to ASL staff?

Looking at Shakuras Plateau I really think the low ground in front of the nats needs a lot more space. The idea of splitting paths to be able to walk around a contain does not really work out if all the ramps are still within one Tank range. Redistributing space from that giant middle high ground should be no problem at all.

There are also a few inconsistencies in ramp width.
