Blizzard would use professional Brood War maps back when they held BW tournaments. The sc2 team is pretty ignorant and stubborn with their map pool. (been cited many times as referring to their map pool as "casual friendly")

Close spots are still enabled I take it?


Blizzcon qualifiers used those same maps. They disabled close spawns.

I don´t know why everybody is so surprised, they used ladder maps for the qualifiers too.


I'm pretty sure I remember a Blizzcon game with a protoss ffeing in close positions on shattered against a zerg.

You do. It was NaNiwa. He got rolled. And it may have been a 3gate expand.


I must be remembering wrong then. I was pretty sure, I remember that because of the supply depots at the base of the ramp and that people in the LR thread were making fun of Blizzard because their invitational was not even using Blizzard maps .

GZ MVP.


he'll still crush anyone not MVP and Blizzard will take this as evidence that close-pos are fine or zerg favored.

Then Dimaga saw the prizepool..

Thank god!

I wonder how many games does MVP have to play on Friday before GSL Finals... assuming he makes it to the semis of course. The schedule on Blizzcon's page doesn't give any details, only listing Starcraft II Match 1, 2, 3 etc. Winner finals will be played on Saturday 1pm.

Frankly, any of these maps would be better than Dual Sight. The map pool might not be ideal, but this knee-jerk rage reaction from so many posters seems way over the top.

Sure it may be knee-jerk, but to be fair this is a pretty big tournament held by the game developer itself. If I'm not mistaken, there's a significant prize pool involved as well as the pride of being the annual Blizzcon champion (global champion?).

So the reaction about the map-pool is expected because very few of the current Blizz maps are used in the majority of the tournmanets. Sure, a Blizz map may be better than dual sight, but is dual sight really that bad? [see Nestea v. MVP game 4 (MVP wins)]

Also, I hope they do not have close positions on any aforementioned "trap" maps. They just ask for short and coin-flip games.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

I honestly hope he does; the guy is sick good. There is a possibility he can face MVP in round 3, which gets me all excited because if there's one zerg that can take down MVP, it's Dimaga. =P

OMG did you see the Zerg %? They really want Zergs to win this... And I'm a Zerg player, but 2 protosses and only a relevant terran is bullshit.

Blizzard still trolling us after 1 year, what will be next? Release HotS and introduce twitter integration??

This is more of a map 'puddle', no?
I honestly cannot understand blizzards arrogance. No one thinks they are the best map makers except themselves. They should suck it up and copy another tournament instead of insisting these same old maps are quality work -_-

If there's one Zerg that can take down MVP, its Nestea lol. Dimaga can't touch MVP right now, and please don't bring up a game that had to be regamed that occured over 6 months ago.

MVP is the kryptonite to Nestea though. Nestea just can't break him.

And yes, I will bring up a game that was regamed over 6 months ago. And the follow-up game. Who won that tournament btw? Who was the terran that was on fire during that time?

Fast forward to now: which Terran is on fire? Which zerg provides the most innovative and crazy enough builds to throw him off completely? (I can maybe throw Stephano in the mix, but he wont be at Blizzcon so meh).

Bayyne, you can say what you want, but when Dimaga gets crushed, well we can come back to this. To suggest Dimaga can take down MVP is silly. He has maybe a 10% chance, if MVP is sick or something.

omg lol are yo ukidding, i know you (Bliz) want to make it fair so that everyone has maps they know, but i'm pretty sure no tournament has really ever used abyssal caverns and it would be much safer to even use a map like taldarim altar which is in the ladder <_>

btw why is select korean, it shouuld be american flag since he is living in america currently no? (oh apparently it's cus of liquipedia)


Would you be French if you lived in France but were born in the US?


Well i was talking about the player sense, but i forgot liquipedia does it by nationality. So i get what you mean but your example is bad, you would be french if you became a french citizen but not if u didnt.

And that's your opinion, which in my opinion is silly too. =)
