EPTNot a whole lot of major changes, outside of Screaming Sea changing 11 island from a mineral block to no mineral block (better for Terran).
Knock Out had a slight change to how the 12/6 entries look and widened the mineral-only hills.

and zerg vs protoss is going to be mass corsairs into reaver / carriers. So if you missed that playstyle you are getting it again. Personally i find that an ass to play against. So this gonna be auto ban if it ever make to the ladder pool. And you can tell Soulkey is not even used to play with mass devourers lol. | ||

Definitely pros because of the islands and the need to control them, but con because it's harder to get a good spread against Terran with how linear the map plays out via ground play. There's really only one part of the map where Protoss can think of flanking Terran and getting a decent arc. | ||

Litmus+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](https://i.ibb.co/dwXdXs1m/2-Litmus-1-0.jpg) Removed one mineral patch from the 7 o’clock / 11 o’clock expansions (8 patches → 7 patches) Removed two mineral patches from the 9 o’clock neutral expansion (8 patches → 6 patches) Removed one neutral building blocking the outer path from the left high ground (2 layers → 1 layer) Added a neutral expansion (8 minerals + 1 gas) on the second level hill at the center Roaring Currents+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](https://i.ibb.co/MxSr1Y5p/2-1-0.jpg) Replaced part of the wall surrounding the main base with walls that provide vision. Moved the resources at the 4 o’clock / 5 o’clock island expansions closer to the harassable cliff – now units like Lurkers or Dragoons can harass from the cliff (the natural expansion can still only be harassed by Siege Tanks). Added one mineral patch to the 11 o’clock island expansion. Knock Out+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](https://i.ibb.co/SXhZspnQ/4-Knock-Out1-0.png) Changed the 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock expansions to flat ground. Added buildable terrain for Turrets in parts of the area leading out from the center. | ||

Wonder if mapmakers think terran needed some help cuz of the double gaz at the main. yea probably sth like that and about that double gas, since both geysirs were changed to 3000 it became hard to predict how this will play out imo ZvT -> Zerg takes first gas at 2 minutes -> that geysir is depleted at ~12:30 already this feels pretty early, basically shortly after defilers are out in a regular game. in some of the games I saw Zerg opt for muta into ultra instead, similar to Optimizer, and Terran responded with a quick mech transition to drag out the game | ||
