Well for shakuras there's a 1/3 chance that the game will turn into a cheese fest as your opponent is right next to you.

Edit: maybe for shakuras players cannot spawn vertical to each other.. then the map might be decent.

Anybody want to play a game on one of these maps? I wanna test them out.

Heck, if you do go to TLpickup.

IMO those 2 maps are pretty good. Jungle bassin looks like some iccup maps and shakura plateau is exatly what people are asking for. Huge macro oriented map.

Shakuras is only good if you spawn cross positions. Both left/right is too close and both top/bottom means you can back door each other's mains. Ugh.

Maybe they meant to put in New Antioch? Yellow played Sonkie PvZ on that map during the Blizzcon showmatch, some Blizzard dude probably to some other Blizzard dude was like "yea put it that 1v1 4 player twilight map"

In any case they should rehaul Shakuras a bit if they want to make it a ladder map. I always thought if any teamplay map could be a 1v1 map, that would be it. With some minor tweaks, I guess it could be done.

Jungle Basin is a solid choice imo and next to Crossfire I think it's one of the best non-ladder maps.

I just saw the new maps and...I am very disappointed. I think Blizzard is overdoing it with destructible rocks. I find that having a backdoor natural is strange enough with no "nearby" third, but adding destructible rocks makes it that much harder to defend, because it essentially opens up a 2nd front. >.<

Also, the Shakuras plateau map is just gonna be a nightmare with rush builds, because the rush distance is so small for the verticle positions.

I've played a few games on Jungle Basin, tanks on both xelnagas were a huge pain.

Jungle Basin looks alright from what I see, but apperantly it's op :/... I think the rush distance is fine and imo a better map than Desert Oasis. Shakura a macro map though? I thought Kulas was a macro map, the rush distance vertically is very short in Shakuras, and well I don't see terran imbalance here screaming, but seems like a small map in my eyes, I like the different tileset though.
