Who would want to go to Bel'shir beach in the winter :s?

Calm looks intresting and really good change to eliminate terminus, it was such a boring map.

Is that a backdoor rock-blocked expo I see on Calm Before the Storm? Is JackyPrime trying to get this map on the ladder?

All-in-all, good changes, I think. Bel'Shir being winterized is kind of cute. I like the new map, jokes aside. It looks really positional. Interesting that they shrank the map-pool, though, and we'll see if the deblinging helps the Terran dominance. .

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

I saw the bastard child of Luna and Fighting Spirit in that new map personally

Calm Before the Storm looks like an absolute nightmare for dealing with mutalisk harassment...

Winter belshir beach is kinda cool haha. I like how theyre considering the seasons.

And I guess getting rid of gold bases is a new thing.

I don't like taking out the gold expansions at all, to be honest.

I also wish we'd kept Terminus and Metal and removed Dual Sight and Crossfire instead.

Terminus was very bad for ZvP and ZvT (ZvT especially because of Terran being able to take and defend 3 full bases and take a 4th as they push out while Zerg found it very very hard to take a 4th).

However, the new map, calm before the storm will play out sort of like Terminus except with a 4th not as hard to take so I dunno how it will be balance wise.

Wait, if they're removing 3 maps, they should add 3 new maps in too. At least I would have liked to see 3 new maps because I like introducing new maps every now and then. I agree with others, that cross fire should be removed.

The golds needed to go.

Protoss cant chronoboost a gold mineral patch.

Zerg can't inject a gold mineral patch.

Terran can mule a gold mineral patch.

End of story. Why put advantageous minerals in the game if one race has an even bigger bonus upon securing the base than the other 2 races.
