At first glance, I only "like" one of these maps, but they all look short and stupid with so many rocks. I disagree. If I were to use my corperate partnership to come up with $80k, to throw a tourney where the map-pool consisted of Fastest Map Possible variations, should all maps be made fastest map possible? With 80k on the table, the elite players WILL compete. This doesn't mean that fastest maps possible are the way the game should go | ||

Hrm  I hope they at least have some ideas in mind that they're just not ready to implement in the PTR just yet for whatever reason. | ||

Map 2 i don't like the natural and kinda goes with map 1, 2 rocks to deal with + a ramp. Will make allins specially from toss very strong. Will make fe'ing with toss very hard as well vs zerg. Same thing but to a lesser extent on map 1. I really dislike all the open naturals as well. gsl maps please too | ||

The largest problem with the maps was size, and how close the expansions were to each other (creating a central tension zone, so no large strategic movements are possible) I think that these new maps are much much much better then the current ones, and are a step in the right direction. If you think about it, there were some bw maps with a ton of destructible stuff. I don't necessarily like the amount of rocks, but its interesting none the less. | ||

GSL maps are way better. Yah, I know I'm "jumping to conclusions" but fuck it I don't need to play on maps to do basic analysis. There aren't even really any new techniques employed on these maps. I'll play em, and maybe one will bypass my pessimism. | ||

I'll hold off full judgment though since I didn't like xelnaga caverns the first time I saw it | ||

I don't necessarily like the amount of rocks, but its interesting none the less. there were destructible stuff in bw maps, but they weren't for blocking expansions, they were used well, like blocking secondary paths and allowing the user an optional building (that can be later destroyed) to narrow the size of their choke. i can't name a bw map that plopped a large, destructible building on top of an expansion. | ||

Just because you want to macro all the time, doesn't mean the game was intended to be an hour long snooze fest every game. I like the short maps like SOW that force u to play in multiple engagments, instead of one big one and then steamroll ur opponent. I think the level of QQ for every map to big is only from lower level players who aren't scouting properly. Actually, larger maps are more condusive to multiple engagements than small maps, because on small maps it's nearly impossible to come back from losing your army, since you don't have time to remake one. | ||
