nice nice
GSL map snuck in!

Backwater Gulch also has the ramp moved to lead into the natural, back your natural easier to defend. Still a bad map, but a big improvement.

Great thanks for the noce write up and pics i had a hard time understanding what you ment until i saw the pics, not sure how i feel about the changes they made to tal darim alter but i think ill get use to it. As for the changes to shakuras i think they are great removes that back path the protoss and terren could use to pressure zerg.
|
These are actual changes, going live?
If so, boss.

Thanks for putting this into one topic, but doesn't GSL Taldarim have two geysers at the 3rd, just with 750 each?
|
Huge improvement for backwater gulch, might actually be possible to expo now!
|
So Shakuras is coming back better then even and a GSL map? What can get better?
|
Sounds like some really interesting changes to the map pool. Shakuras, in particular - I can't decide whether I like the changes or not. Will have to play a few games and see. Looking forward to trying these on NA!
|
Wow awsome. I was really eager to finnaly play on tal'darim, my favorite map next to shakuras. I like the modified 3rd on altar. I like the removal of Backdoor rocks, but i think rocks on third were good on shakuras. Thanks!
Btw, did thet just add maps or they removed some?
|
Really great changes! I like them!
|
Damn i wish they put in Terminus as well.
|
Yes! I always loved Shakuras. As for Tal'Darim.. I am speechless. <3
|
Looks good, can't exactly see what change to backwater gulch in the pic though.
|
All these changes are great, anything that removes rocks that backdoor your main is EXCELLENT.

Nice additions!
Shakuras I'm not sure but it looks more interesting now. The controversial backdoor rocks are gone now, but there's still a concept of backdooring, just now it's at the third. Pretty smart IMO.
Very nice change to Backwater!
Tal'Darim I'm not sure how that makes it more "ladder" friendly. The rocks aren't much of a problem to me, since it's just at the thirds, but why turn half bases into full?
Edit: The picture of Backwater is too big, so open it in another window/tab. Then you'll see. Basically they moved the ramp leading to the natural so that the natural is actually defendable now. Basically, the ramp points at the natural instead of away from it.
