Is there some problem with fast double expands that i'm not aware of? Why is there such a tendency to put in destructible rocks to prevent it?

Awesome changes, not sure if I like the rocks on Terminus though.

Any masters+ people know the reason for removing this:

As a spectator, this was always my favorite feature of Bel'shir Beach.

I'm pretty sure the rocks on Terminus are there because pvz win ratio something like 30-70%.
I have never seen a pvp on bel'shir, but since there never was a ramp in the first place, shouldn't it be a 4gate map alredy?

my thought exactly, it was an awesome feature of the map.

My thought would be that they had it removed because if you drop a siegetank there with a few marines it could shell of the opponent's natural... maybe?
it has to be a problem considering balance, because the highground did make for interesting games.

The issue was punishing it on some maps.

The original Tal'Darim had less minerals at the third and one gas as a limiting factor. Then when Blizz wanted to introduce it to the ladder pool they needed to have the bases act the same as each other so as to not blindside people who've never actually seen the GSL so added destructible rocks and a normal mineral field.

Terminus used to have a closed off third and the issue became that it was almost impossible to do anything to a ridiculously fast third for any race. That's why they opened up that passage with rocks originally, I guess they're taking a step back on that modification but are using rocks at the minerals themselves to stall the timing at least a little.

I don't like the changes to Terminus. The secondary path to the 3rd was important for how the map played.

I've seen in some games where if Protoss FFE's Zerg goes quick third and maxes out on roaches before the Protoss has a sizeable army (talking 200 vs. 120). That could potentially be a reason.

Man, why remove the main choke high ground on Bel'shir? That was a great feature.

I don't particularly like the Terminus changes since it'll just lead to more turtling on 3-base into 200-200 deathball fight, but if it's necessary to help Protosses then I guess that's how it has to be.

I am hoping that the Terminus changes mean that it's going to be on the ladder, I love watching games on this map.

I'm not sure about the Bel'shir changes, I really liked the high ground on the choke.

The high ground on Belshir does give a pretty nice defender advantage, which is never a bad idea.
Besides, those other changes are pretty interesting

The part where no ZvP really went past midgame because quick third always lead to a huge macro advantage as long as the zerg prepared for warpgate allins (or even if he didn't because those builds are used less often now because it's risky to assume that the zerg won't have enough to hold it off). Slayers_Min v Genius comes to mind where he maxed out on roaches and amoved by the time Genius had like 110 supply. Much faster thirds being taken and learning better defense shifted the game really heavily in zerg's favor to the point that if they play well enough protoss basically is always fighting an uphill battle. You never see infestors or anything of the sort making that much of a difference, just getting bruteforced by tons of units in the midgame.

I havent been a big fan of Terminus from the start, less so with the rocks at the third. But I guess it's necessary given that TLPD shows 23-7 Korean ZvP and 118-71 overall ZvP.

Doesn't the removed high ground mean that it's going to be a 4gate map for pvp ala TDA?

Yep, infestors never appeared on the Korean scene. Infestors was simply another option for Zerg to use which defeated 2 base all in play and/or deathball play. 2 base infestor gives Zerg an option which doesn't require taking a really fast 3rd base.

If anything, Blizzard's new patch was catered to the foreigners (in regard to infestors).
