That has big problems too but I won't say too much, can't be giving away too many of me and Libo's strats XD | ||

ive been playing alot of teamplay lately and i think graystone ravine is currently one of the most balance maps in the mappool. crooked maw/geosync quarry/isle of slaughter are also good | ||

There are many many other team compositions that work just fine on sacred path. I agree with the rest of your points though, and shared bases definitely allow the most balanced gameplay but that's not necessarily the goal of the shoutcraft maps. Sacred path is definitely competitive but unique in its own ways that adds a twist to normal 2v2s, meaning that unfortunately some team compositions will fare worse than others | ||

Mostly because the players have not prepared well may I add... Also, conciser switching Starbow map to Fighting Spirit. I feel Python is just too open to be a good Starbow map for the clan-wars. More shameless plug: Starbow ladder cup starts in 3 hours for some high level Starbow play where players have prepared quite a lot: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-tournaments/445613-starbow-ladder-cup | ||

also python is like 3 different maps in one, because of how the positions work, maybe a different map would allow players to prepare better | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Would have been sick if Ruin had been able to win the 1v2, looked like he was getting pretty close actually! A few mismicros with his blink stalkers really cost him a lot though I think (the blinking over the rocks fight) and also his ally Lucky really needs to learn how to do something other than szzzzzzzzzzzz . . . Not sure how his 4 oracles weren't able to just straight up kill Snute earlier though, I saw they only killed like 6 or 7 drones or something. Also TB maybe Bunny was able to get enough money for those tanks thanks to Snute feed, although he might have just had the money saved up himself anyways I wasn't quite sure. All in all a nice 2v2 :D | ||

Is SC2 BW still in the mix if team agrees to it ? On March 29 2014 23:36 TotalBiscuit wrote: I might just switch it out to Fighting Spirit honestly. DO IT !

Guy sent as ace, does not know the map. Funny in some way. Some games are really good. Catz vs Nxz. Too bad TB doesn't want seperate thread. Because there would be polls for people to vote for in order to be included in the "this week in SC2". But that takes time so i understand. Also Mister Biscuit, how do you chose the music at the end of matches ? | ||

I put up 3 on the calender for the first week but barely anyone signed up for them, so I had no viable matchups. I've put 10 more down now that I've seen the WCS schedule, so I'm waiting for teams to sign up | ||
