EPTWhat the man says definitely seems true. It seems I spawn close positions nearly 100% in ZvT -.-

Also, the pathing from any given main to either opposite main passes through the same midpoint in the map. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/4pG01.png) If you look closely, the top left and bottom right positions are actually the closest rush distances you can get. Bottom left and top right are the furthest, and then either close air positions are in the middle. The rush distance is something like 5-7 seconds for zerglings between the close and far cross position spawns. What all this means is that if you fear some kind of rush, and you spawn on the left side of the map, you should always scout bottom right first because it's always the closer of the two positions. If you spawn on the right side of the map, you should always scout top left first. A game-related application of this would be like so: In PvZ if Protoss opts for a 13 forge to fast expand, he will die to a well executed 6 pool if he spawned top left and zerg was bottom right. However, he will be completely safe if he spawned top right and the zerg spawned bottom left. Those five extra seconds allow enough time for the cannon to complete before the wall can go down. Conversely, those five fewer seconds allow the zerg to dismantle the wall and take down the cannon, killing the protoss if he tried to complete the wall instead of pylon/cannoning his mineral line. FYI That's a picture of the old version of Shakuras Plateau. I believe on the new one the pathing between close by air spawns will go past the Xel'Naga tower instead of through the middle. | ||

I just pulled the map off liquipedia and I didn't notice the rocks. | ||

He wasn't trying to mislead anyone - he was making a pointless comment, and that was inappropriate "In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog" - Wikipedia | ||

Yeah, he definitely disrupted normal on-topic conversation. Take a look at how many posts are actually relevant to the topic 2. Notice the 'or' statements? It means that not everything there has to be true. Even if one of those statements are true, it makes the poster a troll Back to the topic: I think all maps should have predictable spawn patterns. If spawns are random, too much of the game is based on luck - being able to scout earlier is an obvious benefit, especially at higher levels of play. User was temp banned for this post. | ||
