Flash is shithard to beat anyway, but even if the map is just slightly in favour of T, its almost impossible.

Flash is shithard to beat anyway, but even if the map is just slightly in favour of T, its almost impossible. I actually think the maps are very balanced. Dreamliner balances PR, and EotS, and GL are pretty even. Any slight T favor is to be expected, just by the nature of the game. (T>Z>P>T) I really wish JD had played OSL first when he had all that momentum. | ||

EOTS - 53.7% TvZ PR - 63.4% TvZ GLSE - 61.8% TvZ DL - 23.1% ZvT Okay, so we have a map that's pretty much balanced, slightly favoring Terran, twice. We have two maps majorly favoring Terran. And we have one map HUGELY favoring zerg. 2 very slightly T favored, 2 pretty T imba, 1 very Z imba...not exactly the definition of balanced. I love JD for his "fuck the maps" attitude, but still... | ||

DL is still very very new and JD has shown he can play pretty impressive ZvT on GLSE. (Given the most recent in memory were WCG). I would take these OSL maps over the MSL maps any day. On top of that, EotS is the map played twice, so hopefully the Dong won't go for a greedy build like he did in MSL. Further, Flash seems more distressed about DL than JD about PR, which may make Flash try and finish this before it gets to set 4, and I think that plays into JD's hands assuming he can pull a win in g1 or g3. The problem with the MSL as compared to the OSL, is instead of maps that seemed to only favor terran, we now have a zerg favored map. Maybe as single maps they don't seem balanced, but i think as a set, they balance out pretty well. | ||

It might be worth considering the current form of the top terran players, and the impact they've had on the map statistics. It wouldn't be too far of a stretch to say that there have been at least four terran players in very good form (Flash, Fantasy, Light, Sea), and that their success, while influenced by, is not significantly dependent on the map pool. These statistics are therefore likely to overestimate the contribution of the map/matchup on the result. IIRC and conversely (vague memory), Flash made one map seem balanced, while the rest of the terran's struggled. | ||

On the other hand, didn't the 6 toss dragon period occur at a time maps were pretty toss favored, iirc. If the MSL maps were to obvious a problem to ignore, the OSL maps I think you have to call close enough. Jaedong's big problem I think, if he doesn't win set one now he has to win on either of the T favored maps before he can get to Dreamliner. Of course Dreamliner being very new has not been played out, and that means there is more Flash can potentially do that will be creative. | ||

Partially. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Six_Dragons#Maps Good toss maps, but not ridiculously so for the most part. | ||
