This is speculative on my part, as I haven't played on these maps or seen anyone play on them, but it's possible that the balance of the game that we have right now will be a bit different when the average game structure is changed to fit the generally larger map pool. Isn't Terran in a bit of trouble with a map pool like this? Zerg units are by and large fast moving, and can also spawn in significant numbers at expansions simply due to their macro mechanics and Protoss has Warp Gate technology. Terran has.... Medivacs? Also I believe it is generally accepted that a Zerg not harassed properly by a Terran player is advantaged or a Protoss player who is allowed to macro and tech too freely is advantaged against Terran. I'm not trying to say the sky is falling or derail into a discussion about balance, but I could see these factors being an issue. Go watch flash play bw. same situation there, and made worse by the fact zerg has lurkers. In sc2, it should be very possible to use drops, hellion harass to open up the zerg. Not to mention the fact that a faster 3rd or 4th means terran has more income and can max and remax faster: thus mitigating one of the advantages of zerg. | ||

Is there any info on who developed the rest of the maps? - please update the OP, 20 pages is a bit too much to search. | ||

One way to stop the allins and rushes plaguing GSL play atm is to make maps bigger so scouting and distance allows you to react accoridngly ^^ | ||

Crossfire is such a good map to play on; CSL has used it this season before it was discontinued. | ||

I'm not trying to say the sky is falling or derail into a discussion about balance, but I could see these factors being an issue. The new maps will encourage macro games, obviously Terran is lacking in that department compared to Zerg and Protoss, hence why Terran can be safely buffed if games are played on larger maps. The maps will require some rebalancing, but it will (hopefully) be for the better. | ||
