And Scrap Station and Shakuras?
QQ more please.
Lost temple is fine, Nestea easily demonstrated that with his horrible anti cliffing play and still managing to get into an advantage at one point. Steppes is just a terrible map, really I just don't understand the justification for it still being on the map pool Desert Oasis is much better.
last map should not have been in the rotation IMO it's clear it's the most anti-Z map in the rotation, far beyond the larger maps available which may favor in some situations (which can obviously be offset by proxy raxing).

so what?
Foxer in my mind hasn't shown a whole lot really innovative - except for scrap station, that was a pretty cool build and defense. He almost had that game, and his plan was pretty cool. Too bad that it didn't work
the other games were just not that good. He is showing that he knows how to play and somewhat control a BoX which is nice as well
his post is dripping with sarcasm... obviously he's not saying that foxer's play on steppes or LT is innovative

Zergs love it because most of the map pool is awful for Zerg, before Shakuras and Caverns it was just Metal and Scrap Station that they could comfortably do a classic macro zerg style.
You're not going to find anyone claiming Metalopolis as an imbalanced map*.
*except for the stupid micro imbalances because blizzard is to stupid to even make perfect mirror symmetry.
