I think Hannibal early game will play somehow like R-Point, the expo a little far from the expo and easy to grab third. Dunno, its more open, but seems that kind of map...

Very nice. This actually gave me quite an appreciation for these maps and the thoughts that go into designing them. I may never be able to look at a map the same way again

Oh the other hand, I hope they balanced them correctly this time.

Actually, you can't destroy the neutral crystal block in Othello. This is because it is supposed to have 10,000 hp, but sc can only display up to 9999, so the end result is an invincible neutral building which you cannot attack.
It might however not fully block the path, I dunno. It looks like it might be open enough for lings or workers?

I love these gameplay analysis articles

I think for people like me, who don't play regularly, map understanding is one of the most difficult things to grasp. It's hard to tell why certain maps force gameplay to lean one way or another... until Daigomi showed up! heh heh

Although: no Hunters? Come on! I demand an analysis for Hunters!

Great point about the throwback to creative geography. Last season's maps did feel a little too whiz bang boom. This seasons' feel more grounded for sure.

I'll do Hunters. Hunters is easy.

Reach started his StarCraft career on this map. Clearly it is the best map out of all of these. Expect Reach's resurgence with a 22-0 undefeated streak here.

I think on Colosseum Terrans are going to have to revert to later expansions / FD-sized armies to take it. 2gate goons won't be stopped by that puny wall. ==
On the other hand we'll have to see rush distance ...


And Last Romantic, you're wrong.
Expect all the progaming teams to hire a bunch of hacking BGH newbs to play for them this time around, what with all their fresh blood laughing and throwing up blood at Hunters. Kekeke ~

I was just watching the first televised Hannibal match-up in the Averatec-Intel Classic and I noticed that there seems to be at least a couple patches that are actually two patches stacked up on each other in each main. Can anyone else confirm?
Super serious.

Thx for the article! TLFE is allways worth a read and when it comes to maps i'm excited nomatter what imbalance might occure.

I don't analyse maps beforehand so it's good to have someone like you writing something down. Thx for the insight now i'm even more hyped, the break is killing me.

By predicting the predictability of the predictable!

Mmmm, awesome Daigomi you have the analysis FE's and Plex has the nostalgic and/or cocksucking FE.

The cocksucking ones are good BTW!

Since a few people have asked this now, I'll explain why I didn't do Hunters: This FE is about predicting the playabillity of the new maps. Hunters is not a new map. Thus the Predictabillity would be 10, the Richter scale rating would be 0, and the excitement rating would be however exciting games are on Hunters. It just doesn't fit into the FE.

That would be very interesting. If this happens it takes away some of the need to expand early on, and allows players to stay in their bases a bit longer which would be something of a downer. On the other hand, the small base sizes will still reward those who move out, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Actually, you can't destroy the neutral crystal block in Othello. This is because it is supposed to have 10,000 hp, but sc can only display up to 9999, so the end result is an invincible neutral building which you cannot attack.


Interesting. Well that also changes it slightly. It depends on whether units can get past. If units can get past I would say the effect of the ledge is negligible, if units can't get past we just might see some ledge action. Once again, it will be interesting to see how that pans out.
