The mapmaker mentioned before the tournament that he was thinking to change that area so that there would be a ramp to the corner bases.

uThermal's late game TvZ isn't very good. He seems allergic to taking fourth bases, or building units that can beat ultras, and his pre-chitinous timings are dubious. Ultras are very good in general, but he's playing in a way that makes them unbeatable.

Someone should team uThermal to build a 4th base. Does he have a mental block of some kind?

I don't really see why the AI issues with the blockers is such a problem. It happens to both players, so just get good and deal with it

Having games hinge on whose AI bugs out doesn't seem that great. And just because the AI issues are symmetric doesn't mean they are equal for the different races.

Have you ever watched or played BW? This whole blocker deal would count as a very minor inconvenience there ...

If a pro game is decided by known AI issues, it's 100% the player's fault they just need to practice for it. It's not that different from all the other things.

SCII ain't BW. If a bug disabled unit control groups on a map, it wouldn't be okay just because the Dune RTS didn't have control groups. Sure pros can and will practice for AI issues, but they shouldn't need to. Also while map balance should solely be based on the highest level, map playability needs to consider the average player.

edit: Those LOS blockers on Goojira are... messy.

Everyone knew going in that the blockers would be an issue. I think just remove them, the map still works without them.

Incredible. uThermal built a fourth. He could have built it at the seven minute mark on site, and Nerchio probably wouldn't have denied it out of shear surprise.

I cry every time a pro Terran sets up liberators in a way so that biles on one spot can kill multiple.
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.

I think he could have won that if he had had the nova ability from the Xel'naga artifact.

Yeah. Map editors need to get on and implement that.

I am not really getting what happened to uThermal. I know him as being pretty good, but here he keeps heatbutting into the same problem over and over again with the same approach that just doesn't seem to work. None of his wins were from a solid game and even sometimes using the bullshit of the map didn't work. I am not surprised by Nerchio winning, but I wouldn't expect uThermal to look that bad losing.
