This maps are a great addiction to the GSL.. but not to the ladder , im sorry but i dont want to play 1 hour matches , im in lower leagues and i prefer small to medium maps.. these maps doesnt make players macro better they just make them live longer..

"Crevasse" makes my dookie twinkle, god that map looks superb! I have my doubts about the rest of them since they seem a bit, I dunno, narrow, too many small chokes and not that many wide open areas

i'm curious the lopsided results...how the maps work. i think the rush distances should help z/p tremendously. very obvious statement. but i wonder how much of that was a factor in this pervious gsl.

these maps resemble more xel naga caverns. anyone got some stats on xel naga caverns?

It feels like it would be really easy to siege the counter-clockwise main on TerminusRe from the natural third.

edit: never mind the distance is longer than it looks.

Also, it seems the mapmakers overused destructible rocks. On a couple of the maps you can't even take a third without enough units to kill the rocks. Even though zerg responding to early expands by fast expanding twice has kinda phased out, still doesn't seem right.

Havn't got to play them first hand (gonna put that on today's to do list) bu from what I see and have heard is that they are pretty dam nice. I am glad GSL is doing this.. this in hope will lead to eventually adding them onto the ladder.

Looks like the people at gomTV dont' understand the Terran race.

The sheer size, and how the naturals and 3rds are situated, automatically make these maps difficult for Terran.

try to adapt to new maps...or better yet..wait until the pros spoon feed us with free builds.

Adapting to a new map is a necessity for players if they want to evolve in SC2.

Terran whines are just ridiculous, Zerg had to deal with maps like Steppes or DQ for months and you guys complain before they are even out? There are new maps, deal with it

I hope that the turret price will decrease back to 75, so you will see terran spam turrets once again whenever vsing zerg. Dont you terrans miss the days with 15 turrets per base? That should be the macro terran we should see in future. I see SKY terran more viable on these bigger maps too. Just have to fix raven stupid seeker missile back to beta.

Seems nice, some off the maps are looking almost too big but then again it seems that 3/4 of the maps can have both close/cross positions which would be cool since it adds variety to the maps! Looking forward seeing the pros playing on the maps!
