All games have been good so far tonight. None have been standard, wacky stuff in all of them. They're all short-ish too.

Do you really want arkanoid in something like Dreamhack, MLG or even the GSL?

why not? win rate for each race seem balance for the last two weeks, games are extremely interesting. viewers turn in just to see this map. The best thing is that I can still imagine a million more ways to play Arkanoid.

you say it's balanced after like, six games?

Ain't no team going to see arkanoid and say to themselves "We're going to play a protoss on this map"

It's only going to be ZvZ, TvZ, or TvT.

well team8 and jaehoon disagree.

With HotS and the "air focus" there it might become a viable idea ...


That's definitely true, HOTS is going to change a lot

But just look at it from an econ point of view, terran can CC first and relocate it later, zerg can put hatch down for free, protoss will have to kill the tumor (you don't need detection and I think the tumor only has 200 or so HP) but you won't be able to go nexus first, have to go gateway first

Arkanoid is a proleague map. The entire point of PL and the Kespa map makers is for it to be rediculous and help show interesting games. The fact that it's a best of 1 and you are practicing a strat to take out ONE player on a single map is the reason all of this can work so well. It's why PL is so fun to watch and why the normal rules and commentary do not apply (nor should they).

When standard play starts to become boring or stagnant it is IMPERATIVE that the tournaments utilize maps to change it up and keep things fresh.

The big reason I don't play ladder 1v1 anymore is because the map pool hasn't changed in nearly 6 months with some maps on it being there since 2010. I want new maps, keep the metagame shifting keep the game alive. This stagnant metagame we have now is not something I enjoy.

That's the problem with having such segregated tournaments all over the world. That everyone looks out for their own immediate future rather than long term future. Kespa have always made new and exciting maps because they have a long term league. They can patch it, and players can develop new strategies and create new metagames.

Take Arkanoid. We have reaper openings, mass mutas with air upgrades, different type of playstyle from the snorefest that has become reactored hellions into marine tank vs infestor delay into BLs.

Current maps aren't balanced anyway. Maps are not supposed to be balanced. Current maps pool lack variety.
