And know I finally get what the change on Crossfire is, very nice aswell. This is a good step in the right direction, together with ESL changing mappool, I hope all leagues catch that train. | ||

I think that spawning positions could be imbalanced; - Zerg cannot take his 3rd easily (tanks can reach drones from terran main base) - Potential muta harras is going to be harder if terran make some anti air in that "blue area with AA" (flying around can be easily spoted by marines at terran`s natural or wall). If Terran go for 1 thor it would be even harder to harras. - Terran can easily defend his natural and 3rd against ground army just with few siege tanks placed at "T blue area"... and also stop muta harrasing by placing few turrets at his 3rd. -Zerg can take any of the bases at the 3 o'clock side. He's got the more mobile army. -Muta can go the long way and hit the Terran's third. Turrets are kind of expensive in this game, too. You can also fly in from the side. It doesn't matter if the Terran sees the mutas two seconds before they get into his base. Mutas are fast. -If the Terran is turtling to block a ground army, just take the whole fucking map. | ||

They are nice for GSL cause they play like 3 matches a day only. Hopefully, the bigger tournaments adopt these maps like MLG, IEM, DreamHack, ESL, ESP, etc. | ||

Crossfire is going to be heavily terran favor. If i spawn top i will want to control the NorthWest Xelnaga tower. If you control this tower you basically control the entire upper map and vice versa for the other one. Tank at the tower will basically be the key on this map and i dislike that alot since it will give zerg a hard time in breaking terran. Of course this wont matter that much in TvP since protoss ForceField will smash bio coming in through the choke. I think mech play will be stronger on this map vs toss | ||

I was trying to said that terran`s play at this map should be much easier than zerg`s (in that locations). zerg have to destroy the rocks to get a base which is harder to defend, than terrans 3rd. also notice that some aggresion from terran can easily prevent from taking 3rd base by zerg... (siege tanks at higher ground in the middle of the map) | ||

Just my 0.02$. The third only has 1 gas and i think that map try to encourage macro game and we shall finally see which race is indeed stronger in the late game :3. Also its a good experiment to see how well big map do and the number of bases that each race are on can effect the game. Great map for experimenting imo | ||
