Sure they will be playable, but just take a look at the GSL and ICcup maps. They are so so so so much better than those maps, surely blizzard can come up with something better. Slag Pits all over again !  | ||

The third map also takes into account the ZvP matchup; on horizontal positions, it will be hard for either player to get a third, but harder for Protoss. Zergs can take a far away third on the other side of the map or take the Gold in the center. On Cross and Vertical positions, you can easily split the map, and as Zerg take slightly more than half. Edit: On the third map, I think the middle should be slightly more opened, AKA make the "slit" in the ground a little smaller or just get rid of it... | ||

Looking forward to the balance changes Blizzard will make based on data from games played on these. More Zerg buffs to make them overpowered on normal tournament maps, no doubt. | ||

If I build in my base in map2 is it considered a proxy ? Why do they keep adding "rush maps" when everyone wants macro map ? | ||

Unlike Kerrigan’s Wrath, Shifted Sky will have varying gameplay depending on where you and your opponent spawn. You’ll want to bring multiple strategies to this map, and adjust your game depending on your and your opponent’s start locations. This map also features an extremely large number of different attack paths, some of which can be opened up by breaking rocks. Makes me pretty angry that that is their mindset. Its like metal 2.0. It is so gimmicky to have a map that is auto advantage for TvZ on certain spawns and auto disadvantage for TvZ in other spawns. I dont think any of us here want to keep rolling the dice on Spawn positions. It seems to make much more sense to do what the GSL map makers are doing, Specific map>>specific playstlyle. Crevasse=macro every game Twilight fortress= More rush oriented. So much better, so much more interesting, and so much more starcraft. | ||

Taking a fourth base as protoss seems half impossible as ling runbys will rape unless you have some serious army splitting, which is not exactly the strong point of the protoss army. Looks like a 3 base heavy map pool to me. Still better than two though. | ||
