EPTI think they'll be clockwise-counterclockwise issues with this map. Because if you're clockwise from your opponent, you have two routs to their nat if you you're counter clockwise, you really only have one.

on closer inspection a lot of areas seem a bit awkward, but i can't really say for sure this far zoomed out is there a bigger picture available? and when will it be released to the public for dl? (tried googling it but all i got was WoW) | ||

If the Protoss FE's and the Zerg does some sort of ling or hydra all in, it'd be more advantageous for the Zerg to be at 10 than it would for him to be at 3. The same is true of in PvP a 2 gate + reaver against a 3 gate goon + obs, if you're at 10 (the 2 gate/reaver) you (who spawned at 10) have two routes and set up a really nice flank. You're limited to fighting from one side if you had spawned at 3. I can think of quite a few cool narrow timings where players to do all-in rushes because you're directly clockwise from your opponent that you couldn't do if you were counter-clockwise from your opponent that you would also have to consider in your build choice. | ||

I don't dislike the map, but I don't think I can say that I like the looks of it either. I think your points are very valid, and I fear that at the pro-level the map may turn out to be far more positionally imbalanced that expected. I think players will have to prepare twice the number of builds on this map for any particular match, based on their starting location and the opponent's starting location relative to their own. Of course, I hope it turns out to be a great map, too~ | ||
