Maps that incentivize massing a single unit are bad. That's what Inner Coven does.

ASL's producers need to pick macro-oriented maps in the future.


To be honest, it was fairly balanced in that regard. Most of the maps are macro-oriented maps and it's also good to have a map like Hitchhiker in there although in this case Hitchhiker is just not a good map imho.

Honestly, Hitchhiker produced the best or one of the best games for the last few series


Yes? Which one... Anyways, there will always be outlier games. From what I have seen of the map so far it would turn out to be massively imbalanced in the long run though once it gets figured out.

why would anyone mind a protoss era or at least partial success? The historically worst successful race, with significantly fewer titles and achievements than both Terran and Zerg. People really enjoying the mostly bipolar (two races) BW model?

The sequence of the maps really changed this series imo, with Polypoid and Escalade being later in the series once Zero won the first 2 games he could take bigger risks and once it reaches inner coven it's basically a free win for zerg.

yeah protoss has historically struggled, but also, fuck protoss.

Edit:I was just messing around, don't know why you decided to take that statement seriously.

Yeah next season protoss season would be kinda cool, but they need island maps, tight gateway+forge walled nats, and 15 mineral patches in the main to be viable. So yeah fat chance of mapmakers actually balancing out the maps to favour protoss. I guess we can hope but mostly tough luck for protoss since we already know next seasons maps and theyre not protoss favoured from the looks of things.

Maybe not the most spectacular finals, but Zero just never let the Light to spread the wings, macro wings. And that big macro games are his domain. Like an Artosis said, Zero didn't play a map, he didn't play a race, he played his opponent, he hard-countered his playstyle. Great finals in my opinion. It was more a battle of minds and I am happy to see Zero coming out on top of it. Still if grand finals would be won by style points my heart goes to Chosimzerg and his Queen/Ultra build. It is amazing feat to do something new in a "figured-out" game!

The finals are always a little bit earlier, if anything they're 2 hours later this time than they normally are.

Tbh, I think Zergs have started figuring out how to punish Terrans for being so predictable...Queen has been a pioneer in making ZvP BO's, and I think he's now done the same in ZvT. Grats to him, although I wish Light had a better showing than doing the same 1raxFE over and over...
