Darpa Canada4413 Posts January 08 2011 15:06 GMT #101 Looks like some of those maps are backdoor maps, I think Backdoor maps are trash. Frankly I dont like Crossfire because you can abuse the opponents natural from like 8 different tank locations without being a risk from units (its like desert oasis in that regard). And on top of that, every zerg player will roach rush and hit your backdoor where you wont have buildings to choke them. But it is exciting to see some changes coming, it gives hope to the map making community and the players hope that some things will change.

kasumimi Greece460 Posts January 08 2011 15:11 GMT #106 Finally, the disgustingly horrible Alpha maps that have been ruining the game for so long are getting removed and replaced with actual good maps. At least it didn't take very long. These are fantastic news.

PointyBagels United States90 Posts January 08 2011 15:11 GMT #107 Those are some good maps, especially those first two.

Neivler Norway911 Posts January 08 2011 15:11 GMT #108 Wow, and the maps looked really cool and well made to. Luuve it!

Barbiero Brazil5259 Posts January 08 2011 15:13 GMT #110 IMHO, Aiur Garden SUCKS. Like, completly protected natural(jungle basin anyone?), super faraway thirds, and there is 3 bases per player spawn. How the hell are you supposed to play that, and people complain about DQ and JB? The other three are really cool though, I'm just amused that x-fire is going into GSL but isn't in the ladder yet.

Alou United States3748 Posts January 08 2011 15:13 GMT #112 Really glad this happening. Hopefully they'll be put on ladder too!

neek Netherlands51 Posts January 08 2011 15:13 GMT #113 looks sick! especially aiur garden. but biohazard looks a bit weird

Mikilatov United States3897 Posts January 08 2011 15:13 GMT #114 Yessss... More macro maps please... I swear like every good macro game is on Shakuras... More macro maps would be amazing.

e4e5nf3 Canada599 Posts January 08 2011 15:15 GMT #115 Thank you, I was starting to lose hope after the GSL made the decision that players couldn't veto maps in season 3. One step backward, but 2 steps forwards now.

We don't really know, but so far none of the reported candidates for new GSL maps are ICCUP. I really hope they pick at least 1 ICCUP maps. Those guys have put a lot of work into their maps and it would be nice to see them honored in this way since they really deserve it.

KaiJa Australia92 Posts January 08 2011 15:16 GMT #117 Can't wait till we see some of these in play as they seem to promote methodical play rather than the normal, "hmmm I hope I have rock over his scissors..." Think the current maps we have are absolutely terrible for any sort of competitive play and for me personally I've been enjoying the GSL less and less to the point I skip a day here or there or just turn off the stream half way through.

decaf Austria1797 Posts January 08 2011 15:17 GMT #118 What's Blizzards response/reaction/statement? I want to know what they say.

Fruktsoda Sweden206 Posts January 08 2011 15:17 GMT #119 Looks awesome and I love how crossfire made it in there!

rift 1819 Posts January 08 2011 15:17 GMT #120 I'm sure the VODs of Gisado's Challenge are on gomtv.com, if a Korean speaker can navigate the website. They don't cost money so it's no worry to GomTV. Not sure if it's IP blocked though, last one wasn't. Crossfire has some typical Blizzard positional imbalances--tanks can fire into mineral line from ledge--but obviously these changes are nothing short of wonderful even if they suck, like MorroW said.
