thank you both! wow that was so bizarre

Gl Protoss, asl will never release strong toss maps. They will just say they are toss maps and watch and aiur loses another

I would love to see maps without prebuilt spots to just park overlords. You want a free scout at least make them take a slight risk. One side seeing everything vs one side seeing nothing it really dumb

Protoss has a people problem, not a map problem.
Bisu doesnt have the hunger to win. Snow and Best are choke artists that walk the kong line. Mini plays like a B rank protoss with the mechanics of a pro gamer, I don't see that winning him more than the one championship he already has. Rain would rather play League of Legends than grind enough Starcraft to win another championship.
Give tulgod a few more years and we might have some protoss hope again.

Why is it called "backrooms" when the tileset is space? Use the desert tileset to make it as close to the original backrooms as possible smfh
other than that map pool looks ok. odyssey with the fastest minerals could lead to some fun strats
|
those odyssey games lul
so how many workers are needed for max mining efficiency on 9 fastest mineral patches? cant be more than 12 right

Zergs design is just broken. The only toss that has a chance against a Zerg in a bo7 is mini. Toss needs serious continued help just gutting hydra rushes or making them costly somehow,

Lol fastest map minerals on a standard map is so cool. Hope it leads to fun games.

Bisu was 1 game away from taking out Soma in ASL 20. Both him and Snow defeated two Zergs in the Ro8, which were both bo7. Not to mention Best beating Queen in a Bo7 in ASL 19 Ro8 and him loosing to Soulkey in the finals by only 1 map difference. If you think those are bad PvZ results, go watch some vods from 2005/2006 when PvZ was truly at its darkest place in BW history.

not to mention Best winning the ultimate battle event tournament a year or two ago, beating even top zergs in 9-game-play-all series on his way to victory

where's the toss players with the sponsored matches? 3 series i've seen all tvz lol
should mention this is rush vs soma

It also means that builds timings could become map dependent.
Still feels like a jump in the unknown.

which is enough to stop most people from wanting to play those specific maps btw

and every game the Terran went for quick tech while also taking the natural, which I found kind of surprising, since
- going tech is constrained by gas income, and gas income on this map is same as usual - going for quick gas means you have to pull workers from the unsaturated mineral stack - the income from the natural expansion is super inefficient, compared to the main - like 30-40% mining efficiency per worker or something? I'm not saying that one should never expand, but the return on investment is very different here, compared to a regular map. If one-base play was in any way viable on regular maps before, it should be buffed on Odyssey by a LOT
but on the other hand, Terrans can't make a comsat in their main... and therefore they can't deal with lurkers before vessel... so they're forced into fast vessel I guess

gonna take some time for people to figure out how to maximize the fastest map mineral stack for their builds... i imagine if brain or byul plays this map they'll show the proper way to abuse the fastest map mineral stack

fastest setup s/b advantage for p's, will have to see more games I guess.
