I could see the middle of the map playing similarly, but the main/natural/third layout looks really different. The following is a comprehensive list of similarities between this map and Central Protocol.
It's an OK map, although I think there are plenty of much better maps blizzard should be considering (including some by Avex). | ||

Yeah I was surprised too, I like a lot of avex maps but this wouldn't have been the one amongst them I would have chosen. Nonetheless it's an interesting map and it would be better than a lot of stuff we have so I have no real qualms. and grats if it does make ladder! | ||

Central Protocol's idea was to have a natural nearby the main, but at a sort-of awkward distance to create some difficulty in defense, as well as a path blocked by a rock, leading directly to the main. Further, the third is meant to be more difficult to take and much more forward from the main and natural, rather than in a standard means of expanding. I feel like when Blizz saw Invader, they saw that instead of having a backdoor rock and ramp into the main, I have a path that splits the third and natural that goes both into the single choke ramp towards the main, as well as the path to the natural. The third is still far away, but in a reasonable position to where it's not ridiculously hard to defend, but difficult enough. | ||

Can't say i'm a fan of the close air distances and a weirdly placed third. The map aesthetics looks great tho. Blizzard isn't too interested in really long macro games, and the distances between cross were ridiculously long. | ||

OT edit: although, I think a map that has different possible spawns for different matchups would be cool in the future, if Blizz or any tourneys would ever allow it. For example if it was this map, if the matchup was TvZ or TvP then cross would be disabled, but TvT and all the other MUs it could be enabled. There's other maps that could use this to greater effect, I think, but it's easy to use this as an example. | ||

Yeah I really wish we could do a per-matchup spawn setup, but I think that'd be complicated to display. | ||
