MongHwan looks like it'll provide us a lot of great games, but from the progamers' perspective it'd be a bitch to prepare for.
Not only do you have to practice a specific matchup, but depending on what position you get, and the position your opponent gets the gameplay could vary a ton.
But according to the interview with the Sparkyz coach about the new map, the progamers enjoy play on it, so we'll see how it turns out.

It translates to something along the lines of
Fantasy
Which sort of makes sense.
|
the map combination isnt too apparent to me 
|
The "Nostalgia" nat has a geyser though, right? ;o
The embracing of positional imbalance is a bold statement to say the least. It looks interesting, and if the pros like it, then it's probably a good map. Although the Gaema nat always is scary for Zergs, the opponent at least doesn't know that the Zerg is at such an abusable location until a starting build order has been chosen. Thus, a normal 12 hatch expo build is reasonably safe even at the Gaema starting location.

Yea I would translate it as "Illusion" or something along those lines.
Saw Byun explaining it last night and I was balling out
Crazy map.

It's Fantasy.
It's an awkward map to look at. Hope we'll get a better image of the map to look at soon. I'm for asymmetrical maps anyhow.

Whatever the name of the map is, it looks kickin' rad.
Although balancing it must be a bitch.

It looks like Genosky has the easiest defendable expansions. It will be fun to see how games play out, though.

hmmm, from what I read, the dates are not final. But it says that it will be once a week, so I doubt it'll be much different, if any at all.
And yes, the sponsor will be announced next week.

지노스카이 is XenoSky
And I guess we'll go by Fantasy for the map name.
