Analyzer Image

As many of you know, I released a map "Pawn" about a three months ago. Since then, it has gone through huge changes. Expansions have been changed to balance particularly ZvP, with issues regarding the 4th (HY) bases. Most notably though, iCCup's newest map team addition, Oliver "Koagel", has professionally re-textured the map.

  • Spawns: Top Left, Bottom Right
  • Size: 128x96
  • Expansions: 10
  • XNT: 2
  • Tileset: Custom Space
  • XNT: Two in center

What contributed to Pawn Re:
Chat Channels- Since the release of chat channels, "iCCup" and "obs" have been running test games all day. We have gotten huge amounts of feedback from professionals and lower league players. All of this taken into account helped contribute!

MotM- As many of you may know, the original Pawn made it into Map of the Month Top 5. Because of this, the map has gotten feedback from high level testing, including input from MorroW himself. His feedback supported the general public's only complaint; The 4th is too hard to take.

IMS- This map was used in the iCCup Map series. Top players such as TelecoM, Bad, Antimage, and Sin gave feedback. Thanks! IMS 10: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/ICCup_Map_Series_10

TL Feedback- Many people of TeamLiquid have given great insight into all of the iCCup maps. We thank you! Our maps could not be where they are today without a healthy dose of community feedback.

Internal Testing- The iCCup map team has been extensively debating and testing iCCup Pawn Re. Special thanks to Koagel, neobowman, GWen, prodiG, and Nightmarjoo!

hmmmm.... this is a very interesting change. The gold is now possible to take and hold .

Obviously this comes before having tested it, but this looks good!

P.S. I can see my tweaks in there :p

Nice change!

What exactly does the "Re" stand for? Remake?

I'm not going hide my despair--I liked the crazy textures of the previous version! (except the ramps) Pawn is an awesome map, I can't wait to see the MotM tourney games on it

Looks great.

Mains are a bit square but I don't really care.

this looks AWESOME!!! if i'd choose, the HY would be where the other base is thats closer to the center (a little more down the road) it would be more hard to defend.

I completely agree. I haven't played this version yet but I really like the texturing and rusty feel of the first version.

For the record I fucking love playing and observing on this map. I really like the new skin and modified layout... I'll be sure to play it!

I played a game on this a while ago, and won against a Terran, which usually doesn't happen for me. *YAY*

Therefore this map rocks.

I like the textures in Pawn better than Pawn Re. I think it was just the ramps that I liked though, idk.

Textures have been changed.

The OP has been updated with a new image. Polls added, please vote for which you like more! The map will be used in the ESL EU, this is important.

At least it's brighter but still it's hard to see the different cliff levels.

I like the lightening up although the darkness didnt bother me that much, some of us in the team actually liked it the dark way.

In general its an awesome map now, great work, looking forward to ESL cups.

Thanks for doing this so quickly. Really shows that using iCCup maps is the right way to do it for the foreigner scene, cause you accept feedback and change very fast and accordingly (unlike Blizzard or maybe Korean mapmakers could).
Although the dark version is aesthetically better, the new one is more practical and will receive less criticism by players and stream viewers, so I'm all for it
