I like those changes. I have not played a lot on Bel'shir but the main was really smal. On the other hand, I kinda liked the high ground entrance, allowed easy PvP 4 gate defense so it was one of the non 4 gates maps. Not a big deal anyway, would love to have the reasoning tho, should be interesting.

soooo bel'shir is just a 4gate map like tal'darim now?

I really don't like these maps (tal'darim, belshir) that just completely ignore balancing an entire matchup...

The changes to terminus are fine. The changes to Bel shir beach are very very good and now i will probably be playing on that map.

Great changes to Bel'Shir Beach, now it has great aesthetics and the layout is nicely balanced. I'm looking forward to watching games on it a lot now.

Terminus is even worse now though, the entire concept of the map is to allow quick thirds. The rocks are really just a nuisance to deal with, but don't solve any problems that the bases are far too turtley. Once you break them, I can see games becoming even more stale and long unfortunately. We'll have to see though.

I thought the rocks to the 3rd on terminus was generally considered a good thing and hampered uber turtle mode on 3 base?

I'm really worried about the Terminus change. What's Z supposed to do against FFE into really, really fast third base turtle? I mean, Z can't take third early because of the rocks, they can't pressure the third because the other rocks were removed, so what's he supposed to do? 3 base Protoss is incredibly powerful against any number of Z bases, especially when P gets there fast an unmolested....

Which is why they have to get molested early with speedlings in the first place?
I don't know, I'm a Terran and Protoss player.

NOOOOOOOOO DESTRUCTIBLE ROCKS

UGH! Hit by the Blizzard virus

Agreed. I died a little inside seeing GSL mapmakers put destructible rocks to block the 2nd expansion

Thanks for the info good sir, I am quite happy about the changes to zerg beach, should make it a little more balanced for the rest of us

Explain what a bad map for terran is.

Anyway, Terminus changes are obviously to help protoss in ZvP since on every other map Protoss just dies when they try take thie third.

Hmmm, the Terminus change at the 3rd bases kinda remind me of the changes to Tal'Darim to make it a ladder map. Perhaps a subtle hint that Terminus might eventually make it into the ladder? I do like it a bit more than Tal'Darim.

Also, I'm not sure if I agree with the removal of the high ground thing at the main base choke on Belshir. I always liked having a bit of high ground advantage there for early defense. If it helps balance out the map, then I guess I'm fine with it.


I liked the highground too, the best use of it I've seen is in one of the PvP's I think it might of been JYP vs a Prime protoss, he sim citied so well so that he defended a 4gate with his 3gate no problem.

destructable rocks on terminus means we'll be getting it on the ladder soon

I agree with the changes to both of these maps...although am I the only one getting the feeling that this could be hinting at the addition of Terminus to the ladder pool in the future and the removal of Tal'Darim perhaps? The addition of destructible rocks and a 8 min/2 gas base feels like a change Blizzard would get behind.

Edit: Seems I'm not the only one!

you would be surprised how bad some maps are for terran but it is the superior race in korea so it doesn't matter.

Such as? I mean, specifically in TvP, I don't think their can be a bad map for terran.

I don't like the removal of that little high-ground bit for Bel'shir. It seemed a like a cool way give the defender a high-ground advantage without your generic "base up a ramp" style of thing.

Crossfire I feel isn't a good TvP map.

Yeah, it was definitely a cool feature of that map and there wasn't really anything wrong with it except for the fact that people weren't utilizing it much in GSL games. Like I've seen 4gate v 4gates where the defender could have got a few couple of extra hits if he warped a Stalker at the top of the high ground (where he had a pylon) but he warped it on the low ground instead.
