Due to the random structure of the map, it will call for some unorthodox builds. I think this is the first map that guys beyond the standard, and with its seemingly cursed boundaries of luck based confrontations, it will call for protoss/zergs to stand even stronger against the menacingly evil that is Terran. Or will they?

OSL now back to 16, and now this
coincidence: I think not.

Pros will have alot of time to prepare for these matches, and a good idea of who they will end up playing.

My guess is that OGN has had this map for a while and has been waiting for the perfect moment.

the map looks really cool, and it should be somewhat balanced cuz it's a lot more about luck than anything with the starting positions =P really cool idea imho.

Here's a better pic of the map, it doesn't cut off the vespene geysure at the bottom island expansion.

I definitely agree.

Its like I want to argue that this map isnt balanced enough but really, it will be fine. Its a tight map, i like it a lot.

The variety could end up giving it classic status.

The point of asymmetrical map is that it's not balanced 50/50, players will have to make up the difference, in favor or detriment, through skillful playing. People do that anyway, It'll be fine.

The map looks pretty cool, but the positional balance may be pretty bad. I remember a 3 player map from a couple of seasons ago (I have no idea what the name is) that had different routes between the bases. It turned out one of the positions was pretty much auto-win vs. one of the other ones. They got rid of it after one season.

We should see some interesting games at least, because the players will have to improvise a bit more because there are so many scenarios to prepare for.

Hopefully, they'll make newer maps like this which have some balance.
