Someone tell the Prime brothers to STOP MAKING BLUE MAPS. Yellow, brown, and red are appreciated.

We need more than cool blue, green and black. VARIETY is the spice of life!

Not enough Shakuras maps!

GSL has Antiga on cross positions only... why can't the ladder do this too x.x

Why would they change the beautiful summer beach into an ice map?

Nice I missed those safe natural expansions behind your main. Now expanding in PvP will become a more likely case. I can't believe dual sight is still in the map pool while they removed terminus...

I really like Calm before the Storm. I hope it produces some really interesting games because it's very different from the other maps in the pool.

Great. Now get rid of Xel'naga caverns and all the terran based maps are gone

What's up with the dual sight hate? Isn't it one of the first GSL-introduced maps and I thought everyone loved it for various reasons (such as no rocks).

I never liked Dual site. Too claustrophobic.

it's really imbalanced for zvp for one. i dont think i've seen a protoss win in a macro game on that one.

I liked close positions on Antiga, I feel like turtle strats will be too strong with cross only there. also, expect more proxy 2 rax on that map.

I love the layout of Calm before the Storm, hopefully it will be as good of a map as Daybreak.

I like the removal of the Gold at Dual Sight, but on Antigia it doesn't make much sense to me.

The Gold base on Antigia is insanely hard to get up / mine from as it is, and now as a normal expansion i don't ever see it being taken, so easy to siege up / counter attack into.

looks like it has come a point where map makers believe maps caused the terran dominance.

Oh wow the Calm Before The Storm reminds me so much of Luna, except you have a backdoor expansion. Pretty neat, albeit I'm sure winter Belshir is a bitch to play on because of the blinding whiteness~ T_T

Well it's not 2002 anymore. I think todays monitors can handle white snow maps just fine.
