hmm I guess gold patches + mules are being blamed for terran dominance?
|
winter belshir beach? O.o
|
Interesting, trying how the game will go without gold expo's. Also wonder what the new Belshir Beach is going to look like o_O
|
Hmm the image isn't working, so i added an external link to playxp.
|
Lol removed meta now when it's back in ladder pool again. They could have removed Dual sight instead imo! 
I also like the changes about gold expansions. Get rid of theM!
|
Hmm new map, Calm before the storm kind of sounds epic. I'm sure i won't be disappointed in GSL maps just the terran -.-
|
Winter Bel'shir sounds pretty neat. Much love for snow maps. 
I assume the removal of golds is due to the recent trend of Z early expanding to them and then just turtling before overwhelming their opponent.

should have removed crossfire instead of xnf but w/e.
|
Can't wait to see winter bel shir
|
That's a shame. I'll miss you Gold bases!
|
like the getting rid of the golds. Um the new map aesthetics look really good, not sure about balence tho.
Oh wow, they got rid of Terminus. Really glad about that. The new changes they made to that map were really bad for Zerg with the rocks. Though i never really liked Terminus all that much.
|
Crossfire really needs to go IMO.

Imo, looks like a mix between crevasse and delta quadrant. We all know who those maps favoured >_>

GOM is taking balance into their own hands. The very open maps which protoss struggle on has been removed or modified while terran favored gold bases are being removed.
Calm before the storm is also a very protoss friendly map.
Calm before the storm map thread

Let's take bets how long it will take Blizzard to keep up... 6 months? 
Pictures of the changes would be highly apreciated!
|
the new map seems to encourage some 3rd hardcore turtle play. feel it kinda hard to secure 4th on this map vs muta/drop play.air units can bounce between bases so fast while walking distance is like so far

Lol that's a good call. I see it. I think it has a bit Crossfire in it too, With all the seemingly narrow-ish paths.

Nice, the removal of Gold bases in Dual sight is understandable.
Many games in that map were decided by hidden golds(although I think thats more to blame on players not scouting but whatever) Same with cross fire.
Removal of gold in Antiga I am not sure, I don´t think anyone will take the gold now as it was a very risky expo. Only cross pos is cool though
Winter Belshir sounds neat, hehehe I want the snow tileset from HotS.
Terminus was a boring map IMO, i don´t know why they removed Xel Naga fortress. Was it that T favoured?
Metalopolis is a super stale map, I don´t know why people wanted it so much.
