Does anyone know if there are legal issues if Blizzard were to use the GSL maps, since they aren't created by Blizzard? I wonder why they don't at least add them, too... And give us more options to thumb down. -_-;

According to the EULA, the GSL maps are the sole property of Blizzard entertainment.

You can still close spawn, you still have some really short rush distances. Thirds are still difficult to take on 3 of the new maps, maybe 4. Seems like whoever made these maps wasted a few hours of their life.

No matter how good these maps are, it's good blizzard somewhat cares about maps, and puts them in a PTR so that they can see how the balance works out.

New LT looks fantastic. No more cliff, and not so choke heavy. and the island is kind of a logical 3rd for a defensive player. Other maps loook pretty good, will have to play them to get a feel for them in the long run obviously. Much love to blizzard for fixing up our broken pool! And remember everyone this is just a sneak peak according to blizzard so there is a chance we may see some GSL maps included.

Lol, more narrow maps with no big open spaces. Seems to be a theme

I would agree if they were any different from the previous blizzard maps.

Gonna add my voice to the chorus of "not too impressed with the ladder maps." I like map 1 but that's only because it's an improvement over LT.

I'm glad the PTR's back up so I can practice terran and toss without worrying about my ranking though.

It's a minor patch, it's interesting enough to have 5 new maps

Can someone upload them into normal servers so we can try it out?

My thoughts now that I have had some time to look at them (haven't played).

TestMap1 - Close posistions short rush distance. No accesable 3rd
- Close by air Terran can elevator siege tanks. 3rd easily defended
- Cross posistions should be fine

TestMap3 - Close positions short rush distance 2/3 of spawns (build barracks and float to 3rd for super close rally if T spawns 11 or 5). 3rd very hard to defend. Gold impossible to defend, maybe with PF.
- Cross posistions Terran drops PF on gold and sits army at natural ramp...
- Overall Natural looks very hard to defend with 3 possible entrances.

TestMap2 - Seems the best overall, hard to see specifics. Again 3rd is going to be very hard to defend.

TestMap4 - No 3rd except gold...LOL
- Natural is WIDE open
- Terrible Map

TestMap5 - Close posistions short rush distance. No accesable 3rd
- Close by air (shorter rush distance when you take down rocks, I'm thinking reaper opening (1 or 2) to marauders is going to be quite good here)
- If there were no rocks in the back (just wall or open air) I think this map is decent in air/cross spots.

I've played games on all of them.. I think that they're pretty bad.

New LT and map 2 are great though.

Map 3- Too many destructible rocks.. close positions are wayyyyy too close.

Map 5- Impossible to forge FE on almost.. encourages 4 gates in pvz.

Tested all the maps vs AI.

All map spawn position combinations are possible.

A lot of people are neglecting to mention how much wide open spaces these maps have for flanking.

Also, the rush distances on all maps are pretty decent before any rocks are broken down.

I only see a potential problem in map 5 with reapers ignoring the 2 destructable rocks directly to the opponents mineral line, and lifted off barracks from the main to opponents main or in between the destructable rocks.

5 new maps, 5 old maps will be out it seems.

Test map1 will obviously replace Lost Temple.

Test map2 seems to be new.

Test map3 seems to be a new Blistering Sands.

Test map4 seems to be a new Delta Quadrant.

Test map5 seems to be new.

3 probably replaces, hopefully one of the other 2 will replace steppes of war as well.

Let me guess... only US players will test the new patch?
That's unfair.

if you really can spawn in close positions, map 4 is probably the worst map i've seen in my entire life. [when spawning close] 2 sec rush distance, impossible to not ninja a third. all-in play highly appreciated. yay.
Things are laid back in Unidenland. And may the road ahead be lid with dreams and tomorrows. Which are lid with dreams. Also.

Probably. They run the PTR servers out of orange county (judging by the latency I get and the fact their HQ is there)
