I haven't played these 2 maps yet but the maps that GSL is considering to use are awesome. Playing on those maps makes you feel that bad players will be kicked out of the tournament and that the good players will have a blast. Resulting in epic matches 24/7. EDIT: When I get home I will be playing on these maps! Testbug looks nice. | ||

I'm not sure everyone using different custom maps is a very good idea... Personally I think a good player should be able to "wing it" on every map compared to having a fixed build order for map A and another for map B and so on. All they should need is knowledge of the general layout of the map. Having more variety in the game is very good and only enhances the viewability of the game, because you can be surprised more often. Scrap Station is a decent map and can have awesome games played on it, but after almost a year of seeing games on it we have kinda "seen it all" and a more new maps is good. The same is true for all other maps. | ||

Played one game on "iccup pawn re". This map seems a little bit dark. Design is okay. I am a little bit worried about siege tanks hitting my natural but so far this didn't occur... Played several games on "iccup testbug". I personally don't like different styles used in one map. Also i am not the biggest fan of rich geysirs. But the design and size of the map is awesome. had many great games on it and can't wait seeing professional gamer fighting on this map :D | ||

I really liked Testbug, whereas Pawn (not sure if the Re was already there) seemed to have way too many chokes and it was basically impossible to do anything against P. On the other hand Testbug looks a little TOO wide and open. especially if the rocks in the center are down - which have surprisingly low hp. I think if they had a lot hp, so that you just can tear them down later in the game (with a 150 food army or so) it would be OK, but as a Protoss, I don't know how to place my forcefields there in the midgame. | ||
