I can understand you might not like it, but I don't see how it's a boring version.

Unlike Loki your back expo can be cliffed, which could lead to some cool drop ship play.
And the front expo doesn't have a small choke at the front, it's quite wide open plus the minerals are facing impassable terrain which is going to make muta harass really easy.
It kinda seems like both expansions are a lot more difficult to hold than Loki.

its so huge that no kind of rushes or timing attacks have any chance, and its impossible for terran to take a 4th base, so basically you just turtle and hope your one big army is enough to kill them. and tvz is literally impossible to win. 3 free gas and the longest rush distances ever. by the time your marines get to one of the 4 expos they took they have ultralisks.

Well, God's Garden in still in but at least they cut Central Plains. Glad Battle Royale survived, I'm as psyched for it as apparently everyone else is.

in other words, we're going to see every terran avoid God's Garden like the plague or go 2-15, and then Flash goes 8-1

I'm guessing that one game flash loses will be against Jaedong and be like that recent game, where Jaedong was everywhere at once, and using nydus canals even, and flash couldn't keep up on econ.

Battle Royale looks like games will be wierd to play on. I predict that a 4 pool will be the favored bo on this map, with the bases so close together.

i dont think theres gonna be many z's playing on battle royale at all
8 rax -> mech is ridiculously strong due to the rush distances and the tight chokes, if they pool first you just defend behind your assims and the vulture is out before their hatch is done, if they hatch first the bunker rush rapes them.

Does the Battle Royale assims works like troy's where one destroyed = small units only and 2 = complete block? If so I could actually see zerg being pretty strong zvt. Either kill one assim with pool first then go 3 hatch mutas (4 gas) then just overpower him or go quick hydras to bust both assims.

And how does those neutral buildings work? Are they only one each or are they stacked like in medusa?

Would battle royale be less anti zerg if they stacked the assililators to stop thing from ending too fast?
