Both maps look Zerg friendly, especially the new Byzantium | ||

Byzantium still sucks but at least Carthage is looking pretty decent | ||

I don't think it'll be a zerg graveyard since at least it'll be really easy to secure a 3rd gas, and once defilers are out hills favor zerg more than terran. ZvP will probably be hard since it's now protoss who can secure that 3rd gas really easily, although the toss will become very vulnerable to drops and counter attacks once he extends out beyond that. Byzantium still sucks but at least Carthage is looking pretty decent wow I can't believe I didn't see that 3rd gas ;; I thought it was mineral only | ||

Don't really like the look of Carthage but who knows. Maybe it will turn out to be a good map. | ||

Carthage looks like it should be an interesting map. PvT probably will see a lot of proxies; it looks like it will be hard to flank a Terran push so we might see a lot of recalls or carriers. | ||

Will make carrier or arbiter a fucking bitch for T but we will see, this means terran will have to end the batlel on mid game or T is fuck, also P will proxy like hell to avoid the mid game deadly push by T... Zerg is going to own shit with so many gas XD Also in Byazntinum the change is that they place the patch that took from natural to the mineral only and they move a litlel the extractors on the 3 and 9 expansions O.O | ||

Also, it looks like another macro map though, the 3rd is very very easy to secure in TvP/ZvP. | ||

Also, the map maker was the same as Byzantium's creator? It's probably trivial, but I wonder if there's anything significant about that fact -- e.g., is the Korean professional map making community shrinking? | ||

I'm not going to deny existence of imbalance, but Byzantium is 0-7 for Zergs while Byzantium II is 3-3. Surely the changes had to have an effect? | ||
