Great player selections; cant wait to see how things turn out. As for maps... geometry, looks simple, but should be a little interesting to play with all the high/low/high/low... monty hall, looks like it has some influences from hitchhiker, quite a bit of gas... nemesis, bit bland for me, especially the middle.

I'm afraid Monty Hall will quickly be known as sAviOr Hall :-)

Holy crap, Geometry is going to be very interesting i believe, if you move your units in the wrong direction it can hurt you very badly. I guess, they are trying to do what that PGR21 articles said about the "age of napoleon" or something similar, you have to make very smart troop movements, because there are so many different paths one can take.

I really like the Zerg line up

Julyzerg - The past ( Because he hasn't won anything lately)
Savior - The present ( Don't argue)
JaeDong - The future ( XD )

OMG, Monty Hall is my new favorite map ever. I love how they took the classic puzzle and created a Starcraft map out of it.

If you've never heard of the Monty Hall Problem then take a look at the Wikipedia entry.

Also, it's total BS that Jaedong is in instead of YellOw Jr.

Personally, I think these maps are really cool. I look foward to seeing what strategies the pros use on them.

Everyone just loves to bitch when something new comes about. You'll all come around.

Alright so Jaedong was picked over GoRush due to his superior performance in Proleague yes?

But then why wasn't Pusan picked over Anytime? That was a much smaller difference in votes, and I don't remember the last time Anytime won in Proleague (lost to Reach, Rainbow, Bisu, Pusan, etc, etc) whereas Pusan has been doing well and contributed to MBC's Proleague championship.

I'm so confused T-T

i like the lineups very much. Only thing that is concerning is how Anytime is going to perform.

On the 1st map the choke from you main to your nat will crowd easily and when fending off a terran timing rush, you won't get high ground advantage when he is at your nat. A big difference though, is that you can use dragoons vs zerg more effectively here because there is no narrow passages in the middle of the map.

The 2nd map is pretty cool. The chance of terran scouting an fe is only 1/3. Playing against a terran might be kind of annoying because he can tech to vulture and float the fac overthe mins and harass. If he doesn't do much damage, the mins that will protect him.
In tvp the terran static def won't work as effectively because you will have to either choose one section to defend. The protoss can just go the other way. If the terran splits his army and tries to defend mulitple areas, the protoss can pick off the armies in pieces.

Also none of the maps have min only. I thought that was kinda weird.

i think geometry is a very big map for his mineral content, it is 2 empty all over
Monty hall, its ugly and it seems to be very wide ;x ;;;
nemesis = blade storm without gas nat and +2 islands

and yes u can fit nexus, cc and hatchery there but it kinda cuts ur path LOL

Simple. Anytime has more fans.
