For an ash world map, Outsider is very good looking imo.

Other than that...I love these new maps...they look a LOT different than the last two seasons of proleague maps...very retro, even. I can't wait to see how the overarching gameplay changes in each matchup. EDIT I think they'll alternate next year between standard PL and WL format like they did this year. They'll have a couple rounds of old format, a round of WL, etc etc. I think it's good to keep it mixed up so nothing gets completely overdone and boring. Now I just wish they'd bring back 2v2. ): | ||

Maps like Plasma succeed in stimulating interesting play in Starleagues because Zergs, Terrans, and Protosses all have to play on them. Stick these same concept maps in PL and they fail hard. Why? Because the coaches have total control over who plays on them. And because these maps have balance issues almost 100% of the time, you'll see coaches send out one race on a concept map, and then everyone begins to dread every game that is played on that map. Seriously the novelty wears off fast when all you see is TvT's or ZvZ's on a map. So I welcome concept maps like Battle Royal in Starleagues, but for God's sake keep it out of PL. yeah but look at raid assault and neo harmony, they started out that way sure, but as players started playing more on them we started to see them open up a lot more. | ||

Neo Harmony isn't a concept map at all, so I don't understand why you're mentioning it. And I don't see how Raid Assault "opened up" at all. There were 21 ZvZs, 12 TvZs, 0 PvZs, and 0 PvTs. The map was an utter failure in PL. | ||

I don't think I ever saw a protoss play in Raid Assault II. As for balance issues, I think we can also classify it as subject to change (the maps being changed, that is). If a new map is deemed imbalanced, then sure, change it or keep it (Hint: Medusa). But seriously, try replacing all the old maps first, and then, as KeSPA sees fit, replace the new maps if required. Edit: Is Shades of Twilight screaming TvP positional imbalance? | ||
