Watching the gisado casted game on Terminus, its pretty big and the distance from nat to nat is probably the same as Shakuras plateau.

Don't worry, its not DQ 2.0

I just played Aiur Garden and Tal'Darim Altar on the na server.
I really wish there were no destructible rocks. They're annoying as hell at every expansion besides the naturals.

Thank god!! I've been REALLY hoping that someone other than blizzard would take up mapmaking duties. We've needed fresh maps for a while now. Blizzard better roll whatever maps they choose onto ladder as well.
It's easier not to.

Is TerminusRe on NA? I think SCC-Faust went to bed. Anybody who wants to check/publish it ?

I agree, WAY to many destructible rocks. But remove those and they are great.

Decided to test the rush distance from main choke to main choke using a marine (using in game time; real time is ~[.7 * [in game time on faster]])

Steppes of War -- 34 seconds (~24 actual seconds)
Crossfire -- 48 seconds (~34 actual seconds)
Aiur Garden (Close Ground) -- 43 seconds (~30 actual seconds)
Aiur Garden (Cross Positions) -- 63 seconds (~44 actual seconds)
Tal'Darim Altar (Close Ground) -- 55 seconds (~38 actual seconds)
Tal'Darim Altar (Cross Positions) -- 75 seconds (~52 actual seconds)
Biohazard (Close Ground) -- 38 seconds (~27 actual seconds)
Biohazard (Cross Positions) -- 52 seconds (~36 actual seconds)
Terminus RE (Close Ground) -- 59 seconds (~41 actual seconds)
Terminus RE (Cross Positions) -- 62 seconds (~43 actual seconds)

And just for kicks...
Metalopolis (Close by Ground) -- 33 seconds (~23 actual seconds)
Metalopolis (Close By Air) -- 45 seconds (~32 actual seconds)
Metalopolis (Cross Positions) -- 55 seconds (~38 actual seconds)

PLEASE NOTE: that this is MAIN CHOKE POINT to MAIN CHOKE POINT.. nat to nat rush distances can be a lot different, especially in the case of Aiur Garden which has a back natural only. Also, "actual" seconds might be off by a few seconds, give or take. In the case of Biohazard, it's also worth noting that the close ground rush distance requires you to filter through the incredibly tiny entrance through the tall grass of the 3rd base.

Edit -- changed real time seconds to in game "seconds" since it's a bit more reliable than simple counting

Absolutely amazing news, not only a game changer in GSL history, also might push blizzard to switch better maps into the ladder map pool and accept more community maps into the ladder and other tournaments.

PLEASE NOTE: that this is main to main.. nat to nat rush distances can be a lot different, especially in the case of Aiur Garden which has a back natural only. Also note that these are rough approximations because I do not have a stopwatch, but you get the idea.

Excellent Thanks for this, Sir!!

Blizzard's reaction to this is going to be crucial to SC2's success. The largest possible base of players must be connected to the pros in order to leverage SC2 as one of the biggest e-sports. And this is simply not going to happen over chat based matchmaking. The ladder is too strong of a matchmaking tool for the greater population. Ladder-integration of the Pro maps is unavoidable but difficult to handle.

Really can't wait to see their response.

The first map, Aiur Garden, looks very similar to Delta Quadrant, except for the removal of the cliffs near the backdoor expansion. I'm curious to see if it is a significant improvement over the official map .

Anyways, this change is very much welcomed an i hope that Blizzard will also consider adding these (and other) custom maps to their mappool. Not only will it be an improvement in the long run, but it will also spice things up and keep the game fresh ^^.
