is this a multiple choice question? So we can't loose as long as we stick to avoid social pressure?

I'll be rooting for an underdog, as i always do in these silly polls


How easy is to judge people. It's not silly. I wanted to know what are the maps people enjoy the most. The reason is I'm organizing a competition and I want to have an idea on what maps should I add to the map pool. So from my point of view, this question is not 'silly'. And I think people would also like to know what are the most enjoyed maps, as no one really made a 'study' on this yet.

Unfortunately this is not a multiple choice, I would have opted for that, but I didn't see an option for multiple choices when I made the poll. I'm sorry if I missed it.

My favorite map was also an underdog, namely Backwater Gulch.

i voted Tal'Darim Altar because it's a sick map from the community, even though blizzard fucked it up by widening the entrance to the natural and adding their precious destructible rocks to the third.

it's just your "op" should be much more detailed and full of eye candy for funsies..
AND mostly,
i feel you should ask more questions for this thread to get fascinating... as it stands it's not very conductive to constructive debate.. debates which we both like and want


This wasn't meant to be fascinating or eye-candy. But if you feel the urge to give me some suggestions or ideas, you are free to do that. I will post them if you feel they are really needed.

I am not looking for a career in forum posting, nor need the people to be fascinated by my posts. If I need the answer for a question, I ask, wait for the answer and go.

This forum is free for every member of its community. There isn't anything hindering your ability to start threads that are 'conductive to constructive debates' if you like and want them. I am not a payed forum entertainer. I am a normal human being just like you, who is looking for the answer to a question because he needs it.

Honestly, I hate TalDarim Altar as Zerg...

ZvP is impossible at the same level. I can't double expo vs. a forge FE, there is unlimited proxy pylon space including cannons behind the natural, chokes make it easy for colossi and FF around the 3rd, and the map is gigantic so I can't stop a protoss turtling.

You might want to read the Ten Commandments (link), especially this part:

For you this means, when you create a new thread, make sure to include content worth discussing in it. A link or youtube video is not enough. An opening post should set the tone for discussion by being thoughtful and well constructed. We will not hesitate to close threads that don't have enough OP content.


@topic: I like the new Shakuras and Typhon Peaks the most. I'd include Metalopolis if it wouldn't have such a short rush distance on close positions. Taldarim Altar seems almost a littke too big for imho, I like to see it in tournaments but I don't really enjoy in ladder.

Yeah I feel the same, things like a slow tank push on the natural can be rage inducing.

If you take a fast third in response to the FE that T/P can nearly always do it feels really difficult to get out enough stuff to defend it from a quick 2 base timing push, but if you don't take the fast third it's really easy to fall behind.
It just feels awkward.

It's a good map but I think a lot of people are jumping on the "it's in GSL so it must be awesome" bandwagon without thinking about how it actually plays.

I like all the maps, they're big and impulse macro games except when close positions, but my favorite is Tal'Darim even though I haven't played a single game there!!! Still I think that Blizzard should add Crevasse!!
Still great map pool!!!
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

Well, I see people are discussing on the topic. If admins see this topic not worth it, they will close it. Don't see the problem here. And I don't really see what more can be added, as the topic is quite self explanatory. It's a poll about the user's favorite map from the 1v1 map pool.

If you don't like its simpleness, please tell the admins to close it and let you open a fancier one. It's the same thing to me, as I am only interested in the results. Or if you don't like the subject, just don't visit this thread. It's that simple.

just out of curiosity, who voted for slag pits? it's a shitty map with no 3rd base and close position rush distance comparable to steppes of war. (then again, that's just my opinion)

Still waiting for your suggestions. Vague general guidelines don't really help. People are tired of words, they want facts!

Tal darim except for the Blizzard-version with rocks on my third -.- Makes taking a third really quickly vs Nexus/CC-first impossible.

I really like new Shakuras so that´s no1.
