The maps like Steppes and Blistering etc. allowed for EQUAL FOOTING for both types of players, that is the creative/strategic/micro player and the macro or 'unstrategic' player. But these new maps FAVOUR MACROERS and that is not balanced. Can creative micro strategists beat macroers on new maps? Yes, but in order to do so they have to outplay them by a lot! Look, you clearly don't understand how SC2 works. With close positions terran has a huge advantage due to scv all-ins and bunkers, not to mention how siege tanks become that much more powerful.Try playing vs a terran on close-close position LT, that'll make you realize that both toss and zerg are at a severe disadvantage when it comes to smaller maps. So you're incorrect, the new maps will put the races on equal footings, the smaller maps are unfair vs toss and zerg. But don't worry, you can still do your "strategic" bunker rushes and scv all-ins on the new maps. The only difference is that your opponent will have a fair chance to fend it off. But I realize that sounds unfair to you, lol. | ||

They say 9 maps, 3 of which will be agressive, so probably the horrible Delta, Slagpit duo remains | ||

According to Artosis' interviews with the Prime.WE guys the new bigger GSL maps actually favor Protoss but I guess you know better than them. | ||

Xel'Naga, Scrap, Metalopolis, Slag Pits and Shattered temple is the best map pool there has ever been on the blizzard ladder. Close position on the 4 players maps is obviously a bitch but overall the map is certainly not unfair towards zerg players. | ||

I, for one, am looking forward to having my own Squirtle vs MVP kind of games on that map. Playing Terminus Re is like playing BW, and that is awesome. It's a solid, straightforward, well-made map that has great potential in creating some great macro games. | ||

He'll just say "Soon". Better ask him if this is for all servers or just the korean one? I guess it wouldn't make any sense to not have it on all servers but you never know with blizz, and it's a bit odd it's on the Korean forums but there is nothing anywhere else. | ||

I'm guessing your basing this on one season where protoss are winning and have the highest numbers where the best players from terran and zerg got knocked out very early. Yeah ... great argument. The stats show that based off 1 season where the best players were knocked out early protoss were beating the worser players that snuck in to the ro16. + oGsMC not like hes good or anything. I'm VERY WORRIED by what Blizzard means by Intermediate maps and Aggressive maps. Because it looks like from how it was translated that we are going to have 3 really good maps and 6 that we wan't to thumbs down but have to sick with 2 of them to total out to 5. | ||
