Regardless of whether Hyvaa could or could not have won on another map, that map was just bad for SC2. Bad.
You mean I just write stuff here and other people can see it?

Dont whine pls, its the same with every map with ramp, one FF and you block it. It was good strategy for this particular game.

I agree about the stalker spot, but a 1 FF choke at the main is STANDARD in all maps. That warp prism attack would have played out the exact same way if it was on a map with a normal ramped main.


there are no maps with 1 FF chokes between main and 3rd..


because normally your main isn't connected directly with your third O_o

Forcefield is seriously one of the dumbest ideas Blizzard has ever had...

Yeah, it's one of those ideas which looks good at first, then you play with it for a bit and it's still good, then you're kinda like 'eh? this ain't as good as i thought,' then everyone realizes it's crap except for the people who created it in the first place cause they're too proud/dumb and the game stagnates and dies due that crappy idea.

I don't like forcefields.

Hyvaa had another base connected to the main by ground to reinforce with, remember that, that's actually even better than having main with ramp.


The other base is also blocked by one forcefield?

1 FF choke like Daybreak, Antiga, Entombed, Cloud Kingdom, etc..... It only worked because Best was able to distract hyvaa by harassing the natural like that.


so what we're saying is that all maps are imbalanced?

A player abusing map features against an unprepared player doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the map.

I'd rather watch interesting games than fall asleep during Daybreak / Metropolis games. -_-

That's because there aren't any other maps where the main is next to the third.

I don't see why this is any worse than the normal warpprism/sentry thing people do on other maps. I guess letting it happen here is even worse because then you lose 2 bases but either way if you let it happen it's gg.



Because the 3rd is just too far away. On other maps, you can at least keep some of the army at the main and still be able to reinforce if attack goes to the third. Not sure what Kespa is thinking with direct ports of maps from BW. Yes, new maps are nice but you need to test them first.

You Rain anti-team guys are brave, Bogus is a lot better than most of Rain's opponents will be.

Seriously. I'd much rather pick a really bad player and two mid tiers than one top tier and two really bads.
with rain you can pick two 1 pointers who will never be played
and rain is indeed overpriced at 12, which usually means anti-team

Different strategies I guess. I think JD was the more glaringly obvious high priced anti choice with zenio/thorzain being an easy 2nd if you want to pick a 1 pointer 3rd.
by the way, i was only theorizing about rain on anti
i myself went full T8 on anti

I like the map mix up, but I think it's funny that so many are praising them because if blizzard had made these and put them in ladder there would be no end to the lamentations of how bad they are


Well, maybe but one of the main reasons why these maps are being praised is because it's being used in a team league / pro league where imbalanced or favored races don't matter as much (again, teams can decide which race to send on which maps).


No they can't. Maps are drawn after teams have sent out their players.
They do that to make sure you don't get mirror matchups all the time because, for example, everyone sends out a P on Daybreak every time.



They knew the map list first, then arrange the lineups.

Hyvaa could have just as easily done a two-base muta or burrow-move roach oriented build and saved himself the forcefield silliness. The map is weird, yes, but no one should be taking that game as evidence of imbalance.

.... So you have to have two sentries in two places, instead of 1 sentry in 1 place blocking one ramp. This map is harder to forcefield than normal maps, period.

Why are casters saying this is abuse? Everyone knows you can do the sentry FF insta-win on virtually every map with a 1 FF ramp. It's just most Zergs nowadays are knowledgeable enough and prepare for it and shut it down quite easily.
