Haha. Because of the tileset, it reminded me of demon's forest.

If proxy hatching is considered some kind of map imbalance than I have no fucking clue what they are thinking. Terran and protoss have been proxy building for fucking YEARS on everymap EVER and z does it once and we get it removed.. rofl.

Lame, I liked that strat.

No, what's lame is that strat.

Good call to remove this map, supremely imba as I first suspected. Looking forward to games on the new map!

They didn't even fix the imbalance of the map. The thing that's truly killing protosses is the front/backdoor threat into a drop in the main. That strat isn't lame at all-it's like mech, protosses will eventually figure out a counter to it. How is that strat lame? Should we prevent bunker rushes and forge choke block into cannon contains as well? It's basically the same thing.

Because those things are relatively easy to stop? Once that hatch is up the P is as good as dead, as the games where it happened proved and why the map's been altered...

Bullshit, you saw /2/ games. Lets not even get into how hard it is to get the hatch up seeing as it takes two minutes to set that up, once it IS up, a good goon/storm army should be able to clear it, and a transition into reaver/sair might work too seeing as reavers easily outrange sunkens and Z wasted tons of money on defending an empty spot at the middle of the map which totally won't matter against an air-mobile army. Two games where you lose to a strat don't make it imba, or else Forge FE would be banned long ago because I'm pretty sure I saw it win more than two games.
Reavers. Lurkers. Vultures. Defilers. Corsairs. Vessels. Why did they remove all the cool units from SC2...?

How is it hard to set that up when toss is just sitting in base with cannons? Reavers don't easily outrange sunks, they freak out to the max, one of the reasons why this strat is imba. By the time you've produced a large enough goon/storm army to break free of all those sunks, spores and lurks Z will have the entire map...I'm pretty sure this strat is imba and there was good cause for it to be removed.

Here are the updated maps. The official name seems like Shadow of Twilight and not Shades of Twilight by the way.

Yeah seriously, proxy hatch is too good, considering it takes protoss ~8 min to even get enough units to move out of their base with the current meta-game. "goon/storm army should easily clear it out, seeing as reavers outrange sunkens". Yeah, 15 minutes into the game when you've got every tech. How many hatcheries do you think a zerg is able to make in 15 minutes of no pressure from the protoss? Also it just makes for very unentertaining matches, so there's no reason to make maps where it's a possibilty, when we've been fine without it for ages.

If by "horrible" you mean "has only been playing for a year and has a 0.500 or better record in every matchup, then sure, great's horrible. If you actually watch him play, he's not actually that bad.

Not to mention that all the toss players anticipated the build and were totally powerless to stop it.

backho has a knack for doing stuff other tosses can't do (and not being able to do stuff every other toss can do).

first toss to win on Tears of the Moon ffs

FAIL POST

Kal > theZerg

ok at least BackHo was one of only two tosses to win a PvZ on TotM

Watch Bisu vs Great again. The first Free got caught off guard since that was when the build was unveiled. Bisu would've won if he microed his obs better, and don't tell me he's powerless to micro his obs.
Also, Mech was "Invincible" during its inception and now it's 50-50 again.
You cannot cry imba over two games, especially given how close the second game was.
