Starting spawns on Metalopolis and Shattered Temple have been modified to prevent close ground spawns. Starting spawns on Shakuras Plateau have been modified to ensure cross-map spawns only. This is just laughable. Why even have 4 player maps then? This change completely removes an important dimension of the game imo. | ||

As a player I honestly wouldn't mind it, but as a spectator it would be kind of a "taking away from the game" feeling for ingame advertisement. That's our concern. I know it pisses me off in other games that do it, I would HATE to see that become the golden standard in SCII  . Sort of makes a battle between a bunch of colsi and roaches seem rather fake when they are doing it by the "McDonald's Xel Naga Watch Tower" lol | ||

Because Terran is heavily favored over Zerg in close positions? I don't see how map positions whose imbalance is highly established is an integral part of the game. BW did not have such close positions. | ||

If Blizzard can prevent close spawns on Shakuras, what's wrong with preventing close spawns on other maps? Close spawns lead to worse games, especially on Metalopolis. | ||

But, we may not have to practice for it, but honeslty doesn't it kind of mess with the zergmind a bit knowing that in a tournament i won't have to deal with this shit? Certain build trends exist due to this fear. Do we practice with out it or with it? Not hatin on the idea. just food for thought | ||

IMO it's either this, or take Metalopolis and Shakuras out of the pool. Close positions metalopolis in particular is just too horrible to leave in; it's worse than Steppes of War by virtually every measure. | ||

Close spawns lead to worse games, especially on Metalopolis. Especially since the close spawns make the map so drastically different. Close positions on Metalopolis is considered a free-win/free-loss by Jinro and IdrA. Probably by other players too. Cross positions is actually considered a good game though. The spawn positions shouldn't change the map that much. | ||

According to Jinro, close position is free win for Terran, and the other positions are free win for Zerg. He hates Metalopolis. | ||

Currently the pool has three 4 players maps, one 3 players map and three 2 players map. I think that balance correct, as it will allow a wide array of strategies. | ||

Especially the edit jobs. exactly my thoughts. think terminus is a really interesting map and would be a nice addition. but really no complains. respect for having the balls going that far with the editing and great job with the pool overall. | ||
