looks good except some of your mineral formations.

I would go and copy a few off of a bliz map or one of iccups ones, straight line formations don't work very well

this map reminds me of match point so much

I liked that you tried to keep the textures similar to the BW map, very cool

I think gasless expo's have been found to not work very well in SC2, as gas is such a more valuable resource. You could maybe compromise with one gas.

Oooo Match Point. With straight lines. A lot of straight lines.

Otherwise, the map looks aesthetically appealing and shiny. I don't really like the backdoor from the main. It's really weird, how it doubles as a cliff to the natural. That forces a Zerg player to take out the rocks/debris/whateverthatthingyis to protect his natural, which also makes the Terran's job easier. A Terran player could send his entire army through that path and wreck the Zerg player's main. I'd remove the part of the backdoor that connects it to the third, but keep the cliff to the natural, so it functions like Andromeda's cliff. That would be interesting, I haven't seen any cliffs like that in SCII except for the one in Starchild, but then again that one's kind of different.

Wow you really took the shears to it. But I like what I see!

So simple but so good. I just love how this map unfolds as you take more bases.

The only thing I would change is that the main doesn't really need to have tank buffer with the gold, why not add a bit of roominess?
