Just because they are bigger doesn't mean all the problems are gone. Garden of Aiur is almost as bad as jungle basin pvz instead of zerg not being able to get a fourth now they can't stop toss from getting a deathball. Even though i support iccup and I know their staff will listen to top players anything is better than the current blizzard maps that never change! Iccup maps are poorly done. They have ramp issues where it takes more buildings to wall off and you have to kind of relearn how to play. | ||

Just because they have different ramp sizes and players need to adapt their play depending on the map (like in broodwar) doesn't make it a bad thing at all. Infact forcing players to change thier styles/builds for different maps will make it a more interesting game. | ||

The biggest sc2 tournament is pretty much saying : "blizzard you maps sucks". Other tournaments should follow and probably use gsl maps, and in time, the ladder map pool should become more flexible. That's what matter And as far as I'm concerned i do like these maps which reflect the kind of game i wish to see more in sc2 in the future, since they seem to be more macro oriented. But obviously cheesy or allin players could be a bit disapointed. The only remaining question is the balance of those maps, but that should take time to be evaluated. | ||

Seems to be good but I'm still concerned since starcraft 2 lacks a lot of units that can be microed to change a battle outcome. So with maps being so big it will just be a 200/200 battle over and over again with Zerg having a slight advantage due to saving up larvae and being able to reinforce really quick. The 300 food push as day9 calls it. Other than that 200/200 battles will eventually get repetitive. But aside from those small concerns it's great that GSL is listening and making changes to make Starcraft 2 more entertaining to watch. Which will help solidify it into a more mainstream e-sport like Starcraft: Brood War. Good news either way!! :D | ||
