Er... with the exception of those two...and a select few others...

But I just like watching new maps come into the pool. It freshens up the place and whatnot~
this is my quote.

I just tried out Plasma and nothing else can't describe it beside "weird". The thing that really bothered me was that the ramp was by the mineral only instead of the natural. So.. taking the 2nd gas quick may make you very vulnerable to tricky cheeses. I can already see factories pushing vultures through the lurker eggs and harassing early zergs and protoss trying for heavy econ builds.

Does anyone here think there's a shot in hell that Plasma will end up being balanced?

Did the map makers get permission from the lord of the ring owners or w/e to use their names?
And how would some of these maps be unbalanced too? Examples of MUs plz

Edit: Ok, plasmas imba like crazy, terran would win ez mostly, unless toss goes real fast carriers. In tvz, terran just has to set up tanks in front of opponents eggs.

The first new OSL map is called Plasma And yeah, it does look very odd. It's a 3 player "timed island" map that screams creative and cheesy plays. Routes that connect the main bases are blocked by lurker eggs, which makes the map island until the eggs are destroyed. There are two close expansions very close to the main - a normal gas expo and a mineral only. Depending on how a player decides to use those eggs, games can vary heavily.


Cut short?

These maps look gosu as hell and I'm looking forward to seeing games on them :D Although Return of the King looks a bit like a remake of Namja Iyagi.

Yeah, I think they just wanted to reuse Namja Iyagi after balancing it out a little more or something :O

And there is no fourth OSL map, afaik.


they announce the fourth map when the first round (ro36 this time) is done.

I just played plasma, and managed to get the probe throu egs with "return cargo" bug. I guess progamers might use this.

Byzantium and ROTK are horrible. But well gay macro maps with terrible pathfiding are popular and turtle terrans will be happy.

Plasma might be imbalanced but looks fun at least.
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

Aren't the minerals placed close by the eggs designed so you can get through without cheeses? Just get close, and hit gather mineral on the other side of the eggs, presto.

I think plasma looks brutal for zerg.. i suspect that the win ratio will be super low. without proxy hatch there is no way to push the issue
