Battle Royal 2 (cries), Central Plains (^_^) or Shades of Twilight (meh) will replace Battle Royal in Shinhan Bank 2008-2009 Proleague Round 5 according to our understanding.

Battle royal 2 would actually be my favorite choice of these, with the changes it might be PvP fest, but meh, there needs to be more toss favored maps atm and it's unlikely to become as bad as the current one is for zvz. The minor leagues already have Stat's tearing it up pvz on the map, etc.

I love BR and I really wish it were more balanced, but Central Plains looks like a lot of dun to watch, even though it looks pretty near impossible for ZvP.

I REALLY don't want to see shades of twilight in the map pool next round.

Oh and please don't ever mention Alchemist in any thread again, ever. KTHXBAI

Alchemist looks like an awesome map except for the part where all the bases on one side are low ground and the ones on the other side aren't. That and the fact that the map layout makes no sense.

Also, I don't understand the hate for Shades of Twilight. Except for the part where the layout is basically an inverted RotK and that map is meh-okay.

The idea is cool, but as we can see balancing it looks really really hard. I hope that they can get it right this time, but I'm not holding my breath. That being said, at least pvp lasts longer than ZvZ, and with the really narrow chokes and rebuildable assims, the pvp will actually be pretty cool.

Can reaver scarabs make it through the two geysers (no assims)?

ZvP on Alchemist nowadays would probably see FE getting trounced and/or severely delayed by speedling backdoors.

Shades of Twilight is their safest bet, but I agree with those who want to see Central Plains in R5. There is more risk of imbalance due to its nonstandard design, but the other options simply don't appeal.

It'll be interesting to see what (if any) changes they've made to Shades of Twilight and Central Plains since we saw them last. PvP on Battle Royale could be awesome, hopefully it'll be at least a little better balanced than the current iteration. I like the concept of the map a lot, but the implementation ended up being just

.

P.S. Alchemist is the fugliest map evar.

what, it's like everyone forgot how great a reaction battle royal got when it was first announced?

The map has the ability to be very interesting with tweaks.. I hate the current state of the map, but who cares?

This movie is awesome.

EDIT: Actually, wait.. is that the second movie? I have not seen part 2.. I saw only Battle Royal, back in the day, when it was new.. THAT movie was awesome.

Uhm, sorry for the stupid question, but is there a difference in the space taken by the warping assimilator and by a assimlator that has warped?

No difference.

Coaches/players at the testing say the map seems to favor P, since P can strategically build/cancel assims.

Wouldn't Terran be able to do the same by just half-building a Refinery there? Zerg can do it too to an extent by canceling before it's finished.
