I have 3 decent chokes to forcefield here. Not ideal, but pretty good. Third is then trivial to take. I see no reason for Terran or Zerg to do anything but a turtle into 3base style, either. Bases are nice and close for Zerg, and a siege tank wall protects all 3 for Terran. Sure 3 bases may be easy to defend against zerg, but 4-5 bases can be easy to take as zerg. Look at the way the fourth sets itself up, a different choke but close by. It forces you to posture differently but is easily accessed. Just like turtling on any other map, if your opponent shows no intention of expanding or pressuring then expand yourself. | ||

You can't just wall off your natural because theres a backdoor into it, which means you need to either sacrifice a lot of economy to wall off both places or have a decent-sized army to defend it. Watch Game 1 of DdoRo vs PhoeNix in the replay pack provided (Round 3 Game 1). | ||

I'm Protoss yo, I don't need a big army to defend a ramp :p A few sentries + a cannon at my wall and I'm golden on that map. Dunno why I watched that game. Ling runbys are pretty good against people who fail wall I guess? | ||

Signed anyway because still - Blizz mappool is just a pain. Glad someone else thinks the same. Lighting on that map really has to be fixed, so ugly! | ||

The big thing to do is to get these maps out there and played. The MotM (excellent tournament btw) is a good start, but without being visible continuously and being adopted by an established league/tournament, no petition will ever do anything. We do have Go4SC2 admins on the site, we do have the CraftCup guys here, and of course the TLOpen. Get those maps out there. | ||

This....x 100 Seriously...you need to get these maps exposed in competitions...a petition only helps if the maps have been given exposure... | ||

I think they are rather conservative and won't take any risks or any responsibility for maps and thus they will exclusively do whatever Korea (GSL) does and use their maps... | ||
