Two at most, it just seems like such a weird map how everything's laid out.

You can blink into the backyard as well as warpin, not sure if bad or brilliant, we will see.

Apart from that, really cool map in terms of layout, finally something different.

I like this map a lot for how different it is, yet I don't think it does anything stupid or over the top.

How long it can remain in GSL or if there is imbalances remains to be seen, but for the time being I have high hopes for unique games

I'm just glad there's a GSL map for the first time in a long time that is taking a few chances. It may not be perfect - we'll see on that - but at least it is trying.

I honestly have no idea what to make of this map, but watching tasteless and artosis talk about it should be a lot of fun.

How did i miss that?

Yea 4.5 bases per player is... a questionable decision. And even then 1 of the bases for each player is centered thus practically impossible to secure.

Even on Ohana with 5 bases per player the low number of bases have been a frequent problem, even without centered bases.

What are they thinking exactly? Suddenly i am not too sure about this map.

I think this is the purpose of this map, it's meant to force people to do 2base pushes and potentially expand behind it. This has been the overall flow of the GSL this season by also basically putting rocks on all the thirds on older maps.

the 3rd is very difficult to take, but if thats how the map will play out and the creator intended to, then im ok with that.

I love this map and I'm so glad GSL are finally moving away from every map being basically the same.

It's all well and good having maps that support really early 3 base play, but when every map in the pool does it it makes the game almost unbearable to watch as every game plays out the same.

I love the design, the base positioning and the cool backyard nat (unseen for ages, crevasse was the last one right?). Hope to see more maps like this and more experimental ones in the future with HoTS around the corner! :D

This gets map gets worse the more I look at it. So awful. It's not creative, it's just bad. Even on maps where the third is harder, it still has to be possible to take it. Ripping half of the strats out of the playbook doesn't improve play. Why doesn't someone from GOM look at the awesome and creative community maps and pick one? They are 10 times better and balanced. Seriously, I am so mad at this.

Don't see the point of the 2 gold minerals, but this type of map is long overdue. I like the way the lowground runs across the entire map stylistically, but I also like the general layout of the expansions. The overview's slightly headache-inducing, but overall I approve.

I like the map overall, but I feel like the reintroduction of gold bases is a bad idea, that said, I'm not a map maker. Maybe he has an intended purpose for them.

Because there are apparently people that really like it? Look at this thread for instance?

Why do people always think that everyone shares their opinion. So this is a map that you don't like? Great, it's a free internet, your opinion is your prerogative. I think the map is original, I don't know yet if it will be good but it seeks to achieve a certain specific thing and it seems to do that well. That's my opinion.

This is honestly a plague infesting that mapmaking commuity, so many people are like 'Oh man, this map pool of this tournament sucks because it has at least 3 maps I don't like'. Well, there will always be at least 3 you don 't like because everyone likes different maps.

The purpose is clear, he wants it to yield less income than a normal gold base but more than a normal blue base?

Probably to even it out for terran. The gas itself is a rich vespene so by adding two 2 gold patches it is ofset slightly compared to zergs who go hatch first and then take the rich gas first.

Well he is not exactly basing his intentions on established map science then... do you know how long we have to go back to find 2 player maps with just 4.5 bases on ladder? Season ONE!! You rememper the map pool of utter garbage that everyone critized? And they were all trashed even by Blizzard of yester-yesteryear after just one season baring Xelnaga caverns.
