SamuraiX- United States52 Posts April 17 2014 17:30 GMT #3 It's really surprising to me to see an unoriginal map like Overgrowth getting so many more votes over Waystation. I'm glad Blizzard grabbed King Sejong Research Station from the SPL map pool. That's been a personal favorite of mine.

banjoetheredskin United States744 Posts April 17 2014 20:21 GMT #5 After seeing some of the code A games on Merry Go Round, it's looking really cool, and capable of producing some macro games, not just a maximum 3 bases map.

Shuffleblade Sweden1903 Posts April 17 2014 22:37 GMT #8 King sejong is just impossible for me in ZvT, third base waaay too far away. Reapers (and later+helions) keep you from expanding forever and if you finally manage to there is great possibilities for drops in main base, push through the backdoor in the natural and at the third at the same time. With the distance between the bases and the impossibility to get creep going far enough to see anything before it hits you its just fatal. How is Z supposed to take terran on this map is just beyond me, there are great positions for tank pushes and various other advantages too. I've never vetoed a map before(Usually say just learn to play the map+get better) but it feels like the only choice for me on King sejong would be to cheese against terran and I don't want to do that. I like overgrowth, both because I like how the maps pathways flows and the extra dynamics of the gold base. Ofc there is a plus that the third is so close by I also think the actual textures and look of the map makes me feel more at home, I like the atmosphere.

FrostedMiniWheats United States30730 Posts April 18 2014 01:56 GMT #9 Sejong Waystation Merry go Round Overgrowth IMO. Really, I think even Overgrowth can grow on me too, there is no map in the pool that strikes me as just outright shit like Yeonsu and Polar night did for so long.

Penguinator United States837 Posts April 18 2014 16:24 GMT #11 Wow so much hate for Waystation, that's my 2nd favorite after Overgrowth T_T

GrayFox90 Malaysia23 Posts April 18 2014 17:20 GMT #12 Waystation is reaaaally bad for multiple reasons but the most obvious one has to be the super huge ramp to the natural. Overgrowth's ramp is quite ridiculous as well. Zergs are having a fun time on these new maps imo. Protosses are forced to go gateway expand or else they risk being overwhelmed by slings. P v Ts are fine though. Z v X are horrible. Why oh why.

ProtoDemn Croatia11 Posts April 18 2014 20:57 GMT #14 Merry go Round, because that name is epic

KirkSC 10 Posts April 19 2014 03:52 GMT #15 I think if the island base on waystation was moved further from the potential starting points i would enjoy it a lot more

KirkSC 10 Posts April 19 2014 03:52 GMT #16 I really enjoy merry go round

redbean87 Sweden21 Posts April 19 2014 04:41 GMT #17 Merry go round any day of the week

markrevival United States222 Posts April 19 2014 11:54 GMT #18 My Terran perspective: Merry Go Round and Overgrowth are fresh and fun. No major flaws. King Sejong is so damn hard because of the super long rush distance and huge surface area to cover against drops/mutas/oracles. You have to be extremely defensive against air and protoss warp gate attacks. Then on the counter it takes absolutely forever to get there. It often turns into 2 base vs 2 base because of how hard it is to keep a third and defend the main at the same time. I don't like it too much but whatever. Waystation - fuck this map completely. The long way is just ridiculously big. Rush distance makes anything other than proxies or 3 base a waste. No matter how hard I try, defenders advantage never lets you win on a 2 or 3 base timing. You either win right away or it goes to maxed armies with 10k banks and a million swarm host vipers or a million storm tempests. It becomes a rush to mass ravens. just a terrible way to play. much to big an area to cover. the short version of this map is hilarious. Terran is way overpowered with that short rush distance. Siege your opponents natural so quickly, defend all your bases so easily.

alexander670 Australia14 Posts April 20 2014 18:07 GMT #19 I really like all the new map they are all fresh and new and not so good for blink stalkers and super early cheese in general. Really huge improvement only flaw is 3rd base is hard to get on some maps but I think they did that on purpose

NKexquisite United States911 Posts April 21 2014 03:16 GMT #20 Only problem with nerfing blink stalkers by altering the maps is that Reapers are much less useful now at gathering that info Overgrowth for T seems tricky to take a 3rd and Waystation the the far spawns is hilariously far away to attack in TvZ and TvP
