Yes, such maps should be tested in casual games before they can be used in actual tournaments. That goes for the first map as well... Not sure what happens with creep on the low ground when lava rises.

Creep doesn't die.

Seriously, a map with gold bases and a layout that puts the thirds within spitting distance? Who made these maps? How is zerg supposed to do anything on these maps? I'm usually not this negative about stuff but this is fucking stupid.

Okay we get it, you don't like new maps. Hush.

Why's everyone so negative on this map? We really don't have enough games to call it imbalanced. Golden decided to take the gold base, as I understand it the standard should be taking the farther ones, right?

Interesting that the shorter push distance led to bomber trying to control the strech between the thirds with tanks+mines.

It would be nice if pros would actually play our maps and test for us.

And creep tumours go explodey

Apart from the fact that the mapmakers surely tested the maps extensively, they actually hosted a Redbull-sponsored tournament with pros to test the maps. Not liking a map doesn't mean it wasn't tested.

You're not forced to take the golden base and put yourself close to the opponent. And if you do, maybe use the income for defense instead of wasting a thousand zerglings in very bad counterattacks.

They went explodey in TLMC, but we patched it.

This is true. If Golden took the standard bases he would have been muuuch farther away from Bomber. They both took gold bases which are super close to each other. Honestly, I feel the Gold base is a trap for zerg players.

I'm not saying Golden should have won, Bomber was better and that's fine. I'm just confused why any serious tournament would use maps that would have been shunned like the plague in early 2012.

And giving a terran a gold third that close to the zerg is like giving him a free win. I'm just disappointed, this is not a joke, these guys are playing for money and to support themselves, they deserve to have their competition treated seriously.
