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

I am very very please with the new maps. Thank you GOM!
Finally the games should be longer than 10 minutes now...
|
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.

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.

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?

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.
|
Very excited to see this in action.
|
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.
|
Is there a direct download link somewhere?
|
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 can't wait to play on terminus. Lol I have 3 bases with one choke :D. Yay for Terran!
|
Cannot wait to see even more macro games, great job with the maps GSL!

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.

Thank you idrA. Thank You. Actually Fruitdealer is the one who was complaining for the korean scene

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