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.

Cant wait I cant actually view all the matches live, SPRING BREAK!!

Battle royale gonna be epic

Battle Royale should be interesting. Curious to see how the games will turn out.

Man Outsider screams worker jumping for a relatively safe double gas expo.

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 meant to say either "playing against protoss" or "playing as terran" and I ended up saying "playing as protoss"

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.

it's a two player map, the opponent would scout it and prepare for it so easily

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.

What would you say is the most balanced map in the pool IdrA?

Battle Royal(e?) seems like it's gonna be a Zerg graveyard.

battle royale is massively anti zerg
gods garden is massively anti terran
heartbreak ridge seems like its gonna favor terran

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?

battle royal and heartbreak are so good!!!! remind me of old times...
PS never noticed a naci sign in center of medusa o_O

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