It must be so frustrating for Blizzard to be held to such a ludicrously high standard for mapmaking, then have someone at kespa vomit up something like arkanoid and watch all the fanboys go nuts over it. Don't get me wrong, Proleague is the IDEAL place to see crazy maps like this, and I am a huge fan of the format and games it produces, but arkanoid isn't even comparable to the kind of maps that are in GSL or WCS.


because why, it hasn't 9000 games played on it? Like ohana does (~7000wonwon), like CK does (bl\infestor everytime)? Why so close-minded and kespa-hating lol


Lol, Kespa hating? He said PL was the IDEAL place to test these maps... How is that Kespa hating??? Fanboy much?

a good place to test shit maps is a shit league, should i explain further what did he mean?


No because I agree with what he said about Proleague being perfect place to test maps and not for the reason you made up. Its perfect because if a map is imbalanced you just dont play that race on it. Thats why they could make a map that is only good for TvT in proleague and it would be fine because you can just send out terrans for it.

dont forget KeSPA has their map strictly tested by proteams as well. And so far theres no map that frequently features only once race, albeit a few PvP on Caldeum. At the same time, just look at Kerrigan Altar LE or Wonwonwonhana. Just tell me which map needs to be phased out after Round 1 please, no bias please.
People calling Proleague a map-testing league just because their maps are unique is pure shortsighted


Different races are coming out because nobody has any idea what they're doing. Metagame takes sooooo looooong to develop.

Here's my question, now that I've thought about it: How can "interesting" maps (like Arkanoid) make their way into non-proleage format tournaments (like GSL) in a way that is tolerable to the tournaments, players, and community? The idea that mapmakers throw so much random stuff at players that the metagame can't keep up seems like a poor way to develop real game balance. But too much stability feels "stale" for the community. What was the situation like in BW? Was balance achieved through a deluge of unique maps that kept the metagame from stabilizing, or was there a standard (stale?) maptype with only minor differences between maps?


We have to remember BW didn't get 'balance' patches in terms of units and so forth. So that eliminated one of the factors of a changing metagame. So maps was used to change/balance the meta.

I'm with the new maps, it had been a long time with stagnating and boring metagame.

Thought it was a standard rule by now, stream chats for events are always bad as fuck...

This one is even worse, since it's your general awfulness combined with people trolling even more overtly to piss off koreans. It doesn't look like it's being modded either.

I wonder, after all this talk about arkanoid, what do you guys think of Planet S and caldeum, these maps are definitely individual tournment level.

I'm happy now I didn't write out my joke about Shine and Alive.


I do think Stats, Alive and Shine all look very similar.

The only player whose looks ever freaked me out were UpMagic. He looked like a serial killer. I'm allowed to say this since he match fixed and is a bad, bad man.

Calm down.

Alive and Shine are both good looking guys with manly chins.

Little "fucked up", no?


I feel bad about my joke now. I apologize to Shine and Alive.

But they do look similar.


Shine had work done. Koreans and their aesthetics.

I think they are quite good, Planet S especially. Flash vs some Zerg on Planet S was a lot of fun yesterday.
