However, relooking at the map, since rush distances are so long, there shouldn't be too big of a problem with it, since one of them is easily walled off as well. Very pretty map, love it a lot. Usually when a map has the middle mains, the corner expos behind the mains become very underused. Not the case here. I can see them coming into great use. I played it on the Kr server, the rush distance is quite short. | ||

Since I played and obbed on this map, let me say that people especially terrans in TvZ expand to the central expo as their third while being agressive. The conventional third is actually more difficult to secure than people think, that's the reason why people take the central expansion, I think. | ||

Oh yeah, that's obviously another expansion pattern you could use. I was just trying to point out that the sixth are neutral-ish. | ||

The proportions seem particularly good to me, and I enjoy small features like the "backdoor" path into the third. The distances between bases and possible expansion patterns reminds me of Cloud Kingdom, and this map reveals the same solidity in its initial base layout. The middle is much different, and even though it's reminiscent of Daybreak, it should play out rather differently, not in the least due to the watchtower placement. It encourages far more aggression throughout all stages of the game. Honestly, I feel the middle map is just about flawless. I can't think of a more promising map in recent memory - I'm excited to play on this map and to see it really stress tested. I reckon and hope this map has a bright future. EDIT: Actually, the one thing I can fault is the name: "Abyssal City" is a little underwhelming and doesn't quite roll of the tongue. I don't know if that's still subject to change though. | ||

Too bad it's not on EU T–T, but from what I can see on the overview it looks really solid. | ||
