But i looked at the bottom. Verry glaring disadvantage the right side has. You are E-famous because Artosis and Tasteless mentioned this problem in their cast (no doubt that they read your post.) Congrats | ||

If you spawn close position, the farthest away clockwise has such an advantage because he his able to expand AWAY from his opponent. He can abuse those high ground cliffs which are close to his base and it seems impossible to defend the natural... ![[image loading]](http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/5254/deltaquadrant.png) TBH, i don't think i have ever taken that back natural, unless for a specific build. But as for the natural flow for getting a third, i always just opt for a gold. Since if you spawn close pos, you have the option to then expand away. Plus you dont have to worry about harrasment via cliff. The only thing you have to worry about is ground harrasment, which is countered just by having good map vision. | ||

When they were being made, the focus was on showcasing game engine/map editor/special abilities and thus haven't been thoroughly tested for abuses. That wouldn't be a problem, though, if only Blizzard paid more attention to us, the players... | ||

For people that pushing for Blizzard to use ICCup maps, its not happening, since most ICCUP maps are just make over of Kespa SC:BW map. With the situation between Blizzard and Kespa rightnow, there is no way Blizzard will obtain the rights to use these maps for SC2. Speaking of which, I dont think why Blizzard has to make SC2 maps themselves. The Korean are the BEST at making maps. Why dont just oursourcing map making to some Korean firms. Is Mapdori(the one who map many famous SC:BW map) a individual company in Korea? | ||

And you're looking at Scrap Station in a vacuum. Yes, the creep spread is not identical. Doesn't the other base have any other benefits? One immediately apparent bonus is that the close air side is much smaller on the 12 o clock base, making it easier to defend against air harassment and drops. It's very easy to make assumptions (symmetry is always better) and then cherry pick things that support that assumption (creep spread is slightly harder on this map due to asymmetry). | ||

But I can assure you they won't be ICCup maps, not least of all because Diamond is so utterly unprofessional as their spokesperson. "Blizzard, your maps and all your design decisions are absolute garbage, our maps are clearly superior and counter to your shitty design decisions, use those". Why does anyone think this kind of approach is a good idea? | ||

For patch 1.2 on scrap station: South Spawn normal creep:+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i56.tinypic.com/72r9dy.png) North spawn normal creep:+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i52.tinypic.com/15oe981.png) South spawn 1 tumor:+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i56.tinypic.com/2mz1p1.png) North spawn 1 tumor:+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i53.tinypic.com/19p1qh.png) (since creep spreading got changed in 1.2, I assumed it would be fine to bring up this topic..and since another related one was closed) | ||
