yeah thezerg actually went random in that game on DMZ (no double races are allowed) and he got Terran, so they ended up with a terran/terran team. Here's the vod of the game

Excellent writeup for what looked like such a promising map! I was so disappointed with the outcome of violet's game while watching it. He was making probes every time the camera went to his main and his wall's 3rd cannon was poorly placed inside the zerg's main. It seemed to me like he was being too greedy.

Your observation that he couldn't scout made me rewatch the game just now because i thought he could get a probe above the gate. Later on we see a ling up there so i thought he just wasn't taking advantage of it. It's probably one of those ling only things, but at the time i thought it cost him the game.

Yeah I just did a quick check, probes can't get above the gateway but lings can.

I assume that most of the games weren't that epic, otherwise that map would have stuck around, SCV rushes or no...

When 90% of the games end up with a mass SCV cheese rush, something's definitely bound to happen. In this case, killing the map.

Wow, that was a great read~

I like ZvZ and love Zerg victories, but the map must go. All the victories here seem so hollow...
this is my quote.

I think the worst part is that we don't see much from Jaedong in PL other than ZvZ. Even his two games on God's Garden were ZvZs. As much as I like seeing Jaedong cream ZvZ, it does get tedious without any games from his other MUs.
