Ahaha, Monty Hall is a genius map. I didn't know it was the name for one of my favourite math riddles, but now that I know the 3 mineral "doors" are mad funny.

I only hope the games will be as exciting as the idea itself :o

Simple. Anytime has more fans.

Well, Anytime enjoyed a small but fairly comfortable lead over Pusan in popular vote.

GoRush had a HUGE lead over Jaedong in the popular vote of several thousand.

If the "expert vote" can overturn that lead, why couldn't it overturn Anytime's lead over Pusan?

AT's been doing worse than GoRush recently. A lot worse. At least GoRush didn't get slaughtered like a pig in OSL.

I think anytime really sucks at pvp is all. He is one of those rare tosses where his PvT/PvZ are nearly equivalent, and seeing there will be no mirror mu's, why not put him in the fray? Pusan, sure, he has strong macro/strategics, but his PvZ is lacking, and I don't think they could afford that.

We don't know the reason some "expert" vote like that
Just we can guess "maybe they favor Lecaf Oz?" or "they prefer Proleague?"

Fuck you guys, these maps are gonna be cool.
Just like Hitchhiker is a good map that got so much hate, how no one liked original peaks, and how everyone thought Arcadia was gonna be cool, I think you guys will be wrong on maps.

Nemesis has shorter rush distance than any recent map that's come out, and that with a easy backdoor nat is gonna make for some interesting dynamics. At the same time, lack of any non-main land expos and the wideness and fatness of main bases will be interesting dynamics in early.

Monty Hall is crazy, I don't see how anyone thinks this map will be insanely dull. It's like Hitchhiker x 3. Plus two islands? I'm down with that. And not only that, but the 3 paths are HUGE. I can only imagine how arbiters can be abused on here, of the many other ideas with all that gas and the huge open areas. And yes, Hitchhiker made good games.

Geometrey is just cool. It will be a very plain macro map, and yet at the same time, the plateau are all the map-feature you need when you are fighting on a buncha hills. Armies will run around each other and crash screen v screen. Just like all of peaks main battles minus the infinite marching distance that armies had to go on the original Peaks.
And Kingdom will destroy everyone with shuttles.

I think these maps are very cool.

I agree they are ugly, but I think the games will be very nice.

14 vespene geysers on Monty Hall... is that an all-time high for a 2-player map?

Looks like they really like the multiple-paths approach more and more nowadays

You are slow sir :D

But indd, lets hope its as exiting as the thoughtwork put behind it

.

And the chessboard looks ok too, allthough a tad uninspired.

Nemesis = sighface.

Yeah I guess so :o

Anyway, I have no idea about balance so far (I don't trust anybody's word if they say they do, either), so I'm really expecting some mixed and exciting results from 31st.

Geometry looks like it has the potential for lots of retarded cheese. Unless that's unbuildable terrain? it's kinda late, and i'm not seeing things right.

Yay for Monty Hall! (The problem, not the map). I can't say I like it that much. Just a bad "vibe", I guess.

I think nemesis will be awesome to watch some games on. Reminds me of maps that have passed on.
