http://www.shacknews.com/article/67645/starcraft-2-adds-and-removes Blizzard says the company plans to add "a couple more new maps to the official ladder rotation in the coming weeks, including a user-made 1v1 map that is currently being featured in the Global StarCraft League (GSL)." | ||

Shakuras is a big map, but it is there aren't many expansions on the map, but man, these maps are actually quite big. I'm very happy with them. Slag Pits close positions is actually farther than Metal or LT close positions, which is not that bad at all for close positions. In any case, I'm happy with them. Except the rocks, delta quadrant still being in the pool, and close position spawn is still possible. Slag pits close positions are closer together then close positions on either Metalopolis or Shattered Temple. It takes a drone ~24 seconds to get from one bases ramp to the other close bases ramp on Slag Pits. Where are it takes ~27 seconds on Metalopolis, and ~25 seconds on Shattered Temple. In fact close positions on Slag Pits are the closest positions of any ladder map yet, even shorter then those of Steppes of War. Couple that with the wide open natural and basically no possible 3rd on the map and I'd have to say that Slag Pits is going to play out pretty badly, especially in close positions. | ||

Macro-oriented my ass. Close spawning positions on Slug are indeed beyond ridiculous - I cannot for the life of my cat understand how they didn't use the same system as in shakuras where such spawns weren't possible. | ||

Yea, the close positions on Slag Pits is ridiculous. But even more ridiculous is that there are really no far positions on the map. Cross positions isn't tht long and the other 2 positions are just awful. Apart from Slag Pits tho, i don't mind the other maps but i have only played a couple of games on them. | ||

And wow really how is Slag Pits supposed to be macro oriented? Hopefully they just forgot to restrict close-position spawns. Also, removing Shakuras because it was too plain? ... I didn't think it was a plain map at all... More interesting than many other maps. Hopefully in newer seasons once they get the seasons rolling they can put back in some older maps (like DO haha). | ||

Top players have so far said Slag pits very zerg favored because it's very open and it's very hard for T or P to take third or even their natural. It doesn't particularly matter if zerg third is a bit far away when the map is so open. One base pushes can be somewhat hard to stop, but not really any more so than on most current maps. Still a terrible map though. | ||
