Voted outsider, almost every single game on that map has been of high quality and entertaining. All of the (actually) new maps seem pretty balanced with the obvious exception of Battle Royale. | ||

Its extremely imbalanced for Z, one of the worst maps ever. What confuses me even more is that people are voting for the map wtfff | ||

voted outsider. the double gas (or just the middle of two expos) makes things interesting. | ||

Where else have you seen a 34 minute ZvZ? Plus I <3 ZvZ for some reason. | ||

 Outsider, on the other hand, is awesome. Lots of dropship/shuttle plays, hidden expos, mineral glitches, 1 vulture expo denial, etc. | ||

voted garden, probably because I haven't seen many games on ridge or outsider. neo medusa's a big step up from old medusa, but there's no way it's going to get votes over new maps for entertainment value. | ||

ZvZ suck and only some very few weirdos disagree. And those ridges in God's Garden incentivated creative drops much more that I could have guessed. | ||

But now that I've seen many games on all those maps. I voted God's Garden because it produced some much better games than all the others. ZvZ suck and only some very few weirdos disagree. And those ridges in God's Garden incentivated creative drops much more that I could have guessed. Man, spawning on Gods Garden so that you have your opponents back exp facing your main is fucking golden. As a Zerg I must say I like the cross positions much more though | ||

Now I think it's totally clear that it's the best map out of the bunch. Actually, yes. Ashworld maps do not get much love in the Starcraft universe. Maybe outsider would have been more interesting if it weren't on a Ashworld tileset. | ||

God's Garden is too standard, at least Python at the corner expos and Andromeda had the edge expos. Heartbreak Ridge's terrain just seems useless and constricting. Battle Royale, yea. Outsider, the outside of it hasn't been used to its pull potential, and kind of gives it a detached feeling. I guess I like this one the best. | ||

If you make a map that produces one matchup exclusively, yes you will occasionally get to see a good game in that MU. That one game doesn't excuse all of the painfully awful mirrors. The only people voting for Battle Royal are Jaedong fans. I refuse to believe anyone else could be tempted to vote for it. | ||

Gotta say, outsider is creating some great games. God's garden should hopefully be another standard macro map that stays around for just about forever. | ||

i should rephrase that.. why do ppl lke GoG BETTER than outsider? Outsider by far is the superior map than any others. Its sooo good and well balanced it also involves more strats(my opinion) on the map. guhh using FD (for terran mainly) to pick off workers from both sides expos and main base = automatic gg i just like the new map style such as the Outsider its sooo phuckinggg gooodddd | ||

If Battle Royal was in the WL pool, it would be near impossible for Protosses and Terrans to all-kill. It might not be *great*, but it'd be a lot better than 24/7 ZvZ. Watching the top players deal with these imbalances can really be a lot of fun, if they aren't incredibly hideous (then it's just painful and saddening). Thing is we can't really know just how bad the map is. Logic would dictate that even a small to medium advantage would heavily weight the map to zvzs. So really it may not be too much more than that.. and we keep seeing terrans come out each week so far too. Map sucks though, don't get me wrong. | ||

It would end up being sad, not fun. Hell, it's sad in proleague. | ||

I think that's giving Oversky not enough credit personally. He dismantled Flash with perfect timing and positioning. He basically beat pure goliaths with pure hydras, not mech. | ||

Outsider is good, although i can't stop thinking this is a slightly terran map. Heartbreaker Ridge is awesome, we'll see very monstrous games on it, i believe so. Battle Royale completely sucks. I like Oversky, but i'll be damned if he can beat Flash in fair fight while being ACE player. | ||
