Oh man now lets hope Blizzards smart and adds these to the ladder pool :D.

Also awesome that GOM made it possible to not double bunker block on Lt/Meta/xelnaga .


Let's hope Blizzard's smart and watches these maps closely when determining how to make new maps.

I always liked the fact that GomTV matches and SC2 in general is very fast paced. Creating large maps that favor macro play will make it less entertaining to watch.

I don't think the maps for GSL itself will change for at least another season or so to wait and see how GSTL turns out and also to see how Blizz will react in ladder (though I doubt they will do anything except maybe add crossfire as the sub for basin).


Thing is next season of GSL starts in march, and from how I understood it the first season of GSTL will be over by then. After GSTL gom will come to some sort of conclusion on wether or not to include them in the GSL. So next month we'll see.

"March GSL" actually only ends in March and in fact begins Feb 14th. GSTL is a week earlier and takes only 4 days. Considering GSL map pool has to pretty much be announced earlier than that, they've to decide whether they want to use these maps before GSTL.

Looks like GSL wants to favor some Macro late game with some of the maps. I see a lot of 3 base play coming

Dear Idra, what do you think of these maps and Zerg's chances on it?

The fact that they fixed the bunker thing by themselves speaks volumes as to how much blizzard is slow and idiotic about fixing things.

Way to go GSL peeps.


I really don't think Blizzard would want to fix the blocking ramps with 2 bunkers. The inability to easily block ramps is needed in the big tournament. But for the ladder game, it would kill a variety of strategies.



That is some incredibly terrible logic. wow.

The only thing blocking a ramp does is hurt zerg and decrease the already low number of strategies zerg can do. Terran walling off with bunkers is far from a strategy that needs to be preserved.

Modification on Blizzard maps for the league
GomTV modified Metalopolis, Xel'Naga Caverns, Lost Temple for their league. Blocking the entrance with two bunkers is no longer possible.


THANK YOU GOM

would very much like to see the possibility of close spawn positions to also be removed, but removing the ability to block a ramp with 2 ramps is a very nice move to make for spectating quality. non-blocking offensive bunkers (in very early game) are already obnoxious enough.
E-Sports is competitive video gaming with a spectator fan base. Do not take the word "Sports" literally.

I haven't played on Tal'Darim, but unless I'm looking at the map wrong, it seems like you can take 3 bases uncontested while defending just one ramp. As a Zerg, that kind of...gives me pause.

On the other hand, I'm sure macro Terrans like Jinro are salivating.

EDIT: Actually, little known fact - I'm blind. Didn't see the second flat ground entrance into those 3-base sections.

I am glad the new maps are here. Crevasse seems to have an easy third and quite a few chokes... I am eager to see how that will turn out.

Crossfire SE looks familiar... Peaks of Baekdu?

Tal'darim Altar will have some massive macro battles. Looking forward to how that map changes the game.

So there's no way that Gom could implement something that prevents close position spawns? The change regarding the double bunkers is all good, but I'd prefer they just remove close position spawns on LT and Meta entirely.

I saw some excellent TvZ on Terminus, really pumped about this.
Taldarim is gigantic >< And what's the point of putting rocks in all expansions, it prevents fast double or triple expand, why would you make a 1v1 map with a 4v4 player size if you put rocks everywhere ?

so the lategame will remain agressive instead of 200v200 camp like for example on metalopolis when everything's mined out.

Will this new map pool also be used for the non-team GSL?
