Persona is awesome.

I am so looking forward to seeing what strategies will be used due to the swarms.

The best part thought is that Badlands making a comeback finally. Badlands ftw.

All we need now is Ash maps.

omfg, completely agree with L2W, dark swarm = lurker rape, and I think maybe Z will expo like crazy on those maps, all u got to do is lurker those ramps, and put up drop defense

Finally, a map where TvZ is going to be way more difficult than PvZ

Nowadays the map editors are so advanced that you can pretty much do anything, like add trees or minerals on ramps or something.
In this case the map maker has just added some of that rock thingy in top of the ramp.

You can download some great map editors at Star Edit Network if you're interested in trying it out.

Those dark swarms are really... interesting. Especially that they're over expansions? ~_~

Because no1 ever hears about a zerg player turtling, and if the terran player turtles in that map, he gets raped by swarms.

lol, Persona is like zerg having tier 3 at tier 2. Once you get lurkers you can just take another main + nat for free, your opponent can't even break the ramp with tanks, I love it.

nobody knows how the map will work out until we actually see games played on it.

for once though i'd like to see a ZvT favored map after like three shinhan seasons of T-favoritism (yes i know savior won in shinhan3 but he was like the only Z with winning records vs T on some of those maps)

swarms make lurks pretty much invincible

this is normally dealt with by the fact that swarms dont last for too long and terrans can pick off defilers.

the map eliminates both of those. if z gets a few lurkers on your ramp your only choice is drops, which are inefficient for anything other than harass and the z will know thats your only choice, making it even worse. even if you manage to keep them away from your ramp they have 4 free expos once they have lurk tech.
terran is gonna be forced into mass drop play and z will be able to devote everything to stopping the drops, since it takes 6 lurkers to close off all 3 bases from the ground.
