Why? There's ramps in the middle and the sides, in case you didn't notice.

황혼의그림자 and 단장의능선 will have problems, they already have problems with Shin Chung Poong Myung Wol (mixes up with Chu Pung Ryung a lot).
For example, "황혼의그림자에서는 태태전이 없었읍니다." Already sounds long and unnatural =/

Edit: Heartbreak Ridge's sides look like a Bifrost remake.

Central Plains looks like Python with a lobotomy. Naturally it will become the most popular map on ICCup the minute it's introduced. I can see Protoss taking their third off of three, even two gateways. The cliffs are ideal for storm drops to cripple Zerg and Terran while massing up an army. Bisu will own this map.

Shades of Twilight is a travesty. I thought Byzantium was as ugly as modern maps could get, but this is just...repulsive. And where's the twilight. Where the hell is it.

I like the rest of the maps though, seems like punishing fast expand is a predominant theme on most of them. Outsider looks ripe for burrow jumping, and Heartbreak Ridge screams for Zergling runbys. It looks like wraith, dropship, and mech play will be viable, even preferable options.

Naturally, the two maps I despise will be the ones that stick around longer than a season.
That's not awful writing, DAMMIT. It's perfectly sensical english construction.

I like maps like Central Plants with many resourses in the main. One base long play is cool i think. Wonder why there are so little maps like this.

Shades of Twilight is rather boring and the least interesting of 6. And as someone mentioned there is rather much TvP-positioning imbalance like on LT.

I really like cliffs without ramps on God's Garden and Central Plaints. More oldscool drops (like on LT) is rather cool i think.

Outsider is the ugliest (really dont like ash maps) but seems rather funny to play. You can play standart throught the center or go macro with side expansions. But double expansions in corners are rather strange :-\

Heartbreaker and Battle Royal are the coolest i think.
Heartbreaker give you a possibility to make attacks from many sides and control ramps like on Chupung Reyong which makes game more strategical. But it seems that Protoss is imba in PvT here.
Battle Royal is a pimp. Really strategical map with so many possible strategies on it. You can cheese, drop, go macro, play agressive anything u want. The game can last 5 or 30 minutes but it will be all interesting and dynamic games.

Only one snowy map but it's already good. There aro so little snowy maps.

I'm afraid that many of these maps will not last long except Battle Royal. Maybe Central Plains or God's Garden will become popular like Python, Blue Storm, Andromeda or Colosseum. But i dont see Shades of Twilight, Outsider and Heartbreaker playable on long period.

Holy shit these maps are sick. Battle Royal looks....orgasmic. All it needs are 0 min patches on the island expos because otherwise it's way too terran imba, and it should be good to go.

I love the look of central plains but what's with the bridges at the top? Why are they even there? Good for defending but it means you can get contained easily.

Shades of twilight looks extremely boring.

Same with gods garden but atleast it's got fun things like cliffable nats, and it's not macro whore like the rest of the maps

Heartbreak ridge looks very mobility based, terran mech will fail on this map unless both defensive ridges are controlled

Outsider looks interesting, hopefully those cliffs are droppable

Man, I'd love to see a return to mega old school micro style, would rock the progamers so much, but would be cool to have a micro map in there somewhere.

I'm sure they can't, these map images are actually small when compared to actual in-game. Even if they do, they'll be changed, these kind of bugs get cleared most of the time during beta testing.

shades of twilight is pretty bad/boring as well.

With a gust of wind, perhaps.

Heartbreak Ridge, Outsider, and Battle Royale look REALLY interesting to watch, I hope those 3 make it would make spectating a long more fun, although who knows how balanced it would be.

These maps look awesome; I really hope Heartbreak Ridge makes it, I imagine we'll see some epic games on it. Battle Royale looks sick too.

Those aren't island expos, there's ramps on all the corner expos.
