What‘s the rush distance with and without the rocks? Since the naturals are at the corners of the map instead of the mains, I think it‘d be fine. Compare with Antiga Shipyard. If you really need the rocks then put them on both sides to maintain positional balance. I think low ground paths would be fine since they‘re just additional paths. You‘re not hurting how open it is by opening it up. | ||

If I put rocks on the other ramp then players are completely sealed off on 3 bases until rocks are broken down, which negates all scouting and the entire early game. I don't see how that's even manageable. | ||

-image removed- (old photo) 1.6 on NA 1.8 on EU 1.2 on KR 1.7 on SEA Changes: 1) Main bases were downsized a little bit, primarily behind the gas geysers, as well as between the natural and high ground pod. 2) 3rd low-ground base resources moved 1 hex closer to the naturals 3) The chokes between each high ground pod (where all the doodads are) is every so slightly wider. There were small pockets of water there - they were removed. | ||

There was too much space behind the gas geysers in particular, which allowed for hidden drops and warp-ins to be a little too successful too often. Plus, the air space for overlords needed to be bigger because previously overlords couldn't watch over their low-ground 3rds without an overlord literally being in range of enemy units from the mains. | ||

I feel like how easy those rocks are to break down greatly changes how this map plays out. Are there any VoDs of good games on it? The rocks are standard HP, and they are used to open up additional paths as well as quicker rush paths depending on where your opponent spawns. But until the rocks are broken down, every player, regardless of spawn, has to go through the center of the map which is nice because it makes use of the watch tower in close spawns. The map has been used so far in the ESV Korean Weekly, as well as the recent Team Dignitas Reverse Race Tournament, which can be found here. Near the bottom of that tournament page post you'll find several stream links. Visit each one, click on 'videos' near the bottom, then click on 'more videos' at the very bottom. From there you can watch the recent tournament broadcast where Khaydaria is featured several times throughout each stream. So far the testing has been good. | ||

I mean you lose the obligatory five points for using protoss decals but that's it. I haven't been playing much but I want to get a few games in on this one. Really, really good stuff. | ||

Seriously, I really like the idea of the small path leading to the middle. | ||
