I didn't realize Golden Wall was so much liked. Overgrowth surely wouldn't be able to deliver a game like Dream vs Astrea :D

For stuff like Backwater vs Fractured Glacier it really depends on how you weight things. Just based on the layout Fractured Glacier is obviously the worse map of the two. However given that it saw no play it's just vacuously bad. Whereas Backwater is aggressively a bad map since it tortured us with awful awful games, which is why I'm voting for it.


I honestly thought everyone liked backwater and my not wanting to use it made me a black sheep. I'm glad to know I'm not alone.
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

Huh, I don't know if I have a severe case of dementia à la "bad matches on Backwater" but I genuinely thought it was decent. The only truly TERRIBLE match that I remember off the top of my head on that map was the Maru-Zest finals where Maru did a proxy concussive shells meme but that didn't really have anything to do with the map?

That's just the tip of the iceberg of awful turtly games. I watched the same TvZ play out a dozen times on Backwater. It literally always came down to whether the zerg can grab some of the bases on the other side of the map while terran is turtling on 5 bases and crawling to grab a 6th (Dark and Maru played a few important game like that), or if the zerg fails to mine enough from base 8 making for an even more drawn out death animation where terran out-efficiencies zerg on 7 bases for half an hour.

If anyone has 2 hours to waste here's a bo3 featuring both the longest game I've seen on Abiogenesis and also one of the longest games in LotV played on Backwater.



edit: Oh this is even an abridged version since Wardi left to watch another game for twenty minutes. If you really want to see the missing twenty minutes there are non-English casts of it.

The only good thing about that game was:

Oh wow the upset happened. Get wrecked epitome of standard HotS mapmaking. Too bad backwater lost the fight for worst though.

Still amazed that Bel'Shir Beach beat Neo Planet S. Hopefully Tal'darim Altar will put it to rest.

YOOO We did it!!!

As for new votes KSS was the easy pick, I voted taldarim as well, but I could see that vote going either way. Searing Crater and Ruins are more horrendous imo
