Maps like jungle basin and steppes of war force players to come up with different strategies and make play a little more interesting. I believe that when this map pool is brought out, all games will become long macro games with little to no variety. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, however, it is entertaining to watch a few games on a map that is completely different. This is a joke, isn't it? The only thing maps like Steppes and Jungle (Steppes more so than Jungle) force is cheese. And cheese is, at least most people think so, NOT interesting. | ||

You're not required to unlike in Steppes of All-In. | ||

And as I mentioned before cheesing in the macro maps is a lot more fun since there is a much larger risk factor to it. Makes for some very interesting games then also. | ||

-ICCUP maps being used seemed to be pretty fairly balanced, with maps that leave options to players for a more early/mid game approach - with the very likely possibility of a late macro intensive game -The new GSL maps are very aesthetically pleasing, but are a *possibly* being tested for FPS drop rates dealing with doodads and extras in the maps (ie Aiur Garden has a huge doodad in the middle that casts a warping style graphic) it's really not a big deal, just something to consider -The new GSL maps definitely persuade people to go into a more fast expansion/late macro type of game, offering atleast one to two expansions (depending of destructible rocks) I know the ICCUP reference has little to do here, they seem a little more viable to become a standardize map by Blizzard. just saying ;P But, the new GSL maps offer a decently new perspective to the original blizzard maps - creating a very very macro intensive game | ||

I can't think of a single 2-player map in the current ladder pool that I like. Caverns is like the 2nd or 3rd best map in the entire blizzard pool. (its still got its problems though). Just like Meta is not really a good map either. Quadrant is a really really bad map. Especially for zerg. I thumbs downed that map like day it came out. There are so many reasons to list that I'm not even going to. | ||
