I'm allowed to say this since he match fixed and is a bad, bad man. KT players call stats harry potter because they think he looks like him. | ||

Ill use Antiga Shipyard TvZ as an example of it. Antiga's design isnt even that radical so you would think it would be fairly well understood. However that map seems to have flipped over past 3 months. 2 seasons ago in GSL EVERY terran picked Antiga in Code S in there TvZ's. It was a zerg graveyard until all of a sudden this season zergs started winning on it and terrans seem to have switched up what map they want to play TvZ on. So I dont doubt that they test there maps. However when you have maps that are as game changing as the ones KeSPA is bringing out there is just no way there tests are going to be 100% and thats fine because if something game breaking is discovered later in a certain matchup you can just not send that race out. The beauty of the Proleague format is that the maps really don't have to be balanced. It's all about strategy and player picks. Teams base who they send out based on the maps and the strengths and weaknesses of specific races and players. Since it's not an individual league and not winner's league format it allows for teams to be on a level playing field and relying mostly on strategy to skew the match in a team's favour. Luckily Kespa teams tend to be very race balanced. Having maps heavily terran favoured play directly into Proleague's hands. As many people have expressed having ZvP all day every day is really just boring as hell. On most 'standard' maps this seems to be a very common occurence at least in recent trends. The new maps let us see more terrans they we do in, let's say, GSTL. It's honestly a refreshing change for most people and really throws a wrench in what has become a fairly stale meta game. I for one am all for it. Also, shine being shine. | ||
