I don't understand this misconception that large "macro maps" won't have as much micro as smaller maps. There probably won't be as much cheese, but have you watched the two Taldarim matches? There was constant engagements between the two players, where each of the engagements were won and lost in micro. When there wasn't micro, that only shows that a player has room to improve, not that micro is unimportant. If anything, the larger maps allow a player the possibility to come back from an earlier mistake through good use of macro/micro.

Exactly, bigger maps = More micro intensive, clever play. Less A-move timing pushes and cheese.

I may be the odd man out, but I absolutely hate the fact that it's so easy to secure several expansions on some of these maps.

I fear that the days of small, micro-intensive battles will soon be gone...


Well these maps take map size and close expansions to the max. I too feel that they are too big and will be big macro-fests. They are great concepts, but can only be balanced if they are much smaller. Tal'Darim Alter is something like 156x170... LT is 120x128 or so.

Not enough players in the GSL resulting in not enough points to participate .. if i remember correctly..

You needed at least 8 players if i believe..

If ZeNex can use Zenith and Nex players.. i was hoping oGs/TL could use liquid guys.. oh well ><

after oGs got slaughtered last night, we will have to wait until next season hehe

The difference is that ZeNex is a new team made up of Zenith and NEX players. oGs/TL is a partnership, but they are still two separate teams.

Not exactly eight people. Team Liquid needed one more guy in code A to get even in points with SlayerS, or one more guy in code S to beat SlayerS.

Is it just me that feel like maps that has 4 starting locations and the main + the natrual point towards another main - is bad/umbalanced when two placers spawn close-position? let me try to show u. X=Main base/spawn and the arrow is where the natrual entrance is:

X <-X
\|/
/|\
X-> X

just like Crevasse and Terminus Re.
I just think that if a Terran spawn at 6 and P/Z spawn at 3, the terran player will can allways just load up a drop-ship and drop other player's main, kill of alot and then be back and def his natrual when his opponent pushes out. the player at 3 doesn't have the time to drop the other players main while he pushes out but the player at 6 does. and with the fact that drop ships are faster than a common coloussous/HT P army or an hydra/roach army off creep, I just think that some of the 4players-map is imbalanced when all natruals "points" towards a main
it's a good day to die
