wow hwarangdo looks like a very excellent map.. a bit like nostalgia but i like all the new additions and changes. only concern is the middle area seems a bit too small, controlling that area seems to be the emphasis of the map

No gas at natural and just 1 in main? That can't ever be balanced...
I predict 8-10 minute T>Zs; not enough mutas or lurks possible.

Hello. You must be new. Let me tell you about a map called Nostalgia. This is one of the greatest maps of all time and had, gasp, only one geyser between main and nat.

well they actually took also the main/nat/multi expo layout with 2 bridges and a highground connecting nat and multi :D

Hwrangdo seems like Terran Turtle and possible drop on Z opponent.
Terran favored?
Except some of the rocky grounds that cant build turrets.

I was going to say that!

BTW, who besides me thinks that the new Hwarangdo map strongly favours Terran?

Not much room for large flanks, further complicated by all those obstacles; cliffs next to nat allow shelling it plus the other expo; walls around 3 and 9 expo also facilitate siegeing; the mains are quite a distance from their cliff's edge, making muta harass of mineral line risky.

Ha funny, i just played nostalgia about 5 times yesterday. This is going to be interesting. The natural is not quit the same, on nostalgia your base is directly behind the natural, but they made some holes in there now. And after the two bridges you can't build anymore, not even on the sides.

16 April....going to be a long wait...

Great! A new OSL! Like all addicts, I badly need my dose.
However, I think the map pool really favors T, especially over Z. Good for Flash, bad for Jaedong. But what do I know? Wait and see.
Bad news imo, is that Anytime has the toughest group, with July Frozean and Mind. And I would love him to reach at least semi-finals in this league. He really deserves it.

I guess Group A will be as close to a group of death as we can get.
