Good question. I always wondered what Isaac Newton and those other maps looked like

Wow, hardcore.
They removed good and proven maps like Andromeda and Colluseum to replace them with new and kinda odd maps.

Battle Royale is just super-strange.

Holy cow, these maps look GREAT! I can't wait to see these in action, especially Neo Medusa and Battle Royale.

(Unfortunately, every new map I've been excited about has turned out to be imbalanced)
<Wolfpox> i remember when MVP beat that one guy, and everyone was like 'whoa' except that penguin dude.

Idra, did the maps you get have any changes from the beta images that were posted?

you could siege the gas from really high up on the high ground at 6 before, whereas with the other 2 mains you had to make your way further in before you could reach any resources.

not to mention that it was harder to defend vs muta harass with the gas so far away from your min line.

Thx for the explanations Idra. That gas location at 3 will really make that an unlucky spawn point.

But why'd they get rid of the more proven and balanced maps like Colo II and Andro?

because they have been pretty much 'solved' and have gotten stale with both the general viewing audience and the players

Games on Colosseum and Andromeda were usually macro and rather boring

Yeah, last september Acro and Isaac Newton weren't released to the public or the teams. Only a handful games were played on them by a select few progamers to judge the balance, that weren't broadcasted. I've always wondered how they looked like. Maybe one of them is a reworked version of one of the maps we will see used in the coming PL Round. I've read an inteview with Rose of Dream that Arkanoid was made out of a concept he initially designed 2 years early and the map was twilight with a bit of different terrain.
But the initial map wasn't approved by KESPA at that time. At least we now know how Central Plains and Shades of Twilight looked like.

Hot_Bid pointed out that battle royale looks to have changed a lot; heres a comparison going over the very low quality preview image:
