Abyssal Caverns? lol did they just draw maps out of a hat at random?

No matter what people say about Dustin Browder and David Kim watching GSL and talking to players, etc., this proves that Blizzard just does not pay attention to competitive play, period.

Well, it is a Blizzard tournament, so I guess they have to use Blizzard maps, but... :r

With GSL maps MVP could have made over 100k in under a week. I think it will be way harder for him with these maps.

Actually i disagree with you. Nestea and MVP are favorites for a finals match if the brackets are set up appropiately. The maps are more going to hurt Nestea more than MVP though. MVP's style is fine here, and he is probably going to demolish everyone. Nestea's weakness is zvt and with these maps T has alot of shenanigans/builds that are gonna beat him.


My heart is going to cheer for Naniwa to sweep, but we gotta be honest here.

Blizzard gets so much backlash from the pro scene from having these maps in the ladder pool and recognize pros hate these maps (Abyssal and Xel Naga Caverns) but they put them in the tournament pool? I really have no clue what the hell the people at Blizzard who deal with maps are thinking.

Oh god, let this be the death of Xel Naga. The longer it is around, the more I hate that map.

Obviously Blizzard will use the ladder maps, they put them on ladder because they think the maps are of the highest quality. They are always the last to recognize any balance problems, be it in play or when it comes to the maps.
I can no longer rest under the tree of wisdom, since you have axed down the roots feeding it.

Abyssmal Caverns official map description per Liquipedia:

Your first expansion is easy to defend but additional resources are harder to protect. Rocks can be destroyed to open up additional paths or resources. A Watch Tower marks the center of the map.

What they really mean: Zerg go home!

What's particularly annoying is that with 5 minutes of modification, Antiga Shipyard can be a really good map. The MLG version (based on an ICCup version I believe) hosted some really good games at Orlando.


Map stuff aside it is really exciting that we might see BRAT_OK. He just vanished after Beta, I believe he was in the WCG grand finals as least once as a BW player wasn't he? It's good to see MoonGlade in a major international tournament again too, I've been hoping to see one of the former TFT players kick some SC2 butt!
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

I think it's more a matter of pride, they just don't wanne publicly admit that their maps have flaws.

I just realized BRAT_OK is going up against Nestea in the first round... If he abuses this map pool (and get close spawn on shattered) Nestea might be going out in the first round...
