I'm so glad that kespa has started making SC2 maps, I hope GSL can use some of their maps too No, no, no, no, no. The maps may be entertaining as hell but they do absolutely not indicate skill. the do indicate skill what the fuck. Not being able to scout your opponent on Arkanoid pretty much throws skill out the window. on the other hand its quite unlikely they'd attack you so early that you won't be able to handle it. You'd be surprised how quickly you'll die to a 4gate warp prism even on maps where you can scout it. Or you know... how do I know if my opponent goes super fast cloak banshee or penta-CC opening? It's just a stupid gamble imo. have you seen a game on the map by the way. Working too much to catch any games at all T_T I did see they may be entertaining but you really can't call it as skill based as the current maps. Changing up a build for early scouting just to see your opponent triple expanded must feel pretty bad but nothing you can do about it I guess unless you blindly went 4gate warp prism or a similar build. It just... kinda forces you to get air based scouting out as early as possible which your opponent can gamble on and just sneak in an extra expansion or two. Too gimmicky for my taste and definitely too imbalanced. Well, it's proleague. They pick the players for each match beforehand. Racial imbalance shouldn't play that big a role considering the teams can pick the appropriate race for each map.

You'd need Clide there too, maybe as the observer.

Yes, new maps are fresh and exciting. But we still have to make sure they are decently balanced before we use them in individual leagues. Let's say Steppes of War never existed previously. But it is released now, do you think it would be a good idea to use it in GSL just because there would be new 'tactics'?
Again, I am not saying these maps are imbalanced (we just don't have enough data) but we don't need to jump the gun. This next week will be interesting because we will see some TvZ and TvPs on Arkanoid.

Especially since those matches tend to take the longest of all mirror matchups.
As long as I get to watch Polt or MKP in TvT, i'm quite fine with it  Just don't show me endless streams of Marine clashes or Tank clashes. Biomech vs Mech (I wish there was a rule that this matchup had to be played like that)
