If you guys didn't know, the peoples vote is only 70% and other 30% of the votes are from the e-sports reporters. So unless someone had a huge margin like Nal_ra it was anyones game for other people. I personally like Jaedong and think hes gonna be big this year.

Shit ass maps, first one looks like a modification of NFZ only ground, the 2nd looks like a stretched out blue vagina(and probably the only interesting one, zerg is gonna have a bitch, and 3rd looks like a neo forte on crack, without all the expoes and cliffs.

All these maps seem to favor protoss, but that's just my take.

on a second thought, 2nd one is so ROFL. some guy could get 4 gas well into the late phases ._.

Agree with vagina comment.

Thanks for showing Korean names as well as their IDs! I'm having hard time matching players and their IDs. I found Two typo, though.

Geometry - Just another Peaks of Baekdu with 4 players. There isnt much more about that honestly. Doesn't seem imbalanced tho. My least favorite. Actually i like the nat set-up especially for 11v1 or 7v5. So horizontal matchups could be fun.

Monty Hall - Very interesting but I'm concerned about the sizes of the mains. Very hard to macro good amount of factories or gates in those bases. Other than that, the gameplay should be fun. Lots of scouting involved to play this map. This is better of the three. I like it alot.

Nemesis - Forte + Bladestorm. There isn't anymore to it :/ Pretty standard play out of this map.

*I think broodwarmaps.net maps would be a good choice

wtf, those are some of the worst maps i have seen in a long time

Geometry - I disagree on the Peaks of Baekdu comments. There may be some similarities because of the... well... hills, but Peaks of Baekdu is so so so different when it comes to the real map layout and especially the expansion layout etc. That being said it looks like an absolutely terrible map

Monty Hall - FOURTEEN geysirs on a two player map??? - are they fucking nuts? I still think it looks like a fun map. Certainly by far the best of the three maps.

Nemesis - Yeah, please lets make a map where even touching the natural expansion is absolutely impossible, because we really need maps that are even more macro and totally dull like Luna or Arcadia. Brillant idea..., wtf is wrong with them? Horrible map.

I am dissappointed.

All three maps look like they will provide entertaining games. No idea why people dismiss them so easily.

Yay go terrans for winning this.

zergs and protosses have no chance on these maps except the lunamap which is probably balanced because it's so luna-like.

The maps look decent. They give me a back to basics feeling. No more neutral buildings which I was getting tired of. It looks like they are kind of gas heavy and low on minerals, maybe this can bring some interesting strats and less macro mania. Damn I wish my connection would allow bw :/

OKAY WAIT THAT MIGHT BE Z IMBA, LET'S CLOSE OFF THE PATHS WITH MINERALS SO IT TAKES THEM FIVE SECONDS TO GET THROUGH THEM.
