That's gonna be a top map for sure. I like the complex pathing, and I particularly like the watchtower placement, its vision range covers a very precisely controlled area, offering complete vision over certain paths but nothing more. Nice one.

I'd wanna play some games on it, personally. My gut feeling right now is that the early game will be awesome, but then the design degrades into frustration come mid/late game. As a Terran, I'm looking particularly at the third base options; either the gold or the back door. A terran sitting on that high ground pod has easy access to both drop/siege the gold and walk right down to the back door.

I also think taking that back door for a third will have some Blistering Sands syndrome, where the attacker can move around in mid to hit either the nat or backdoor, while the defender has to take an extended trip through the main and its tight chokes to get from one side to the other.

Basically, I think defensive positioning beyond early game is going to be a nightmare.
