I really like the idea of removing gold bases aswell.
What also seems pretty interesting is the removal of 1 mineral patch @crossfire. This basically forces the players to expand quicker and thereby changing the pace of the matches quite a bit on this long narrow map.
Also glad they updated CBTS w/ less rocks. I was like "WTF?!" when i spotted the double rockblocked backdoor expansion. :D

good stuff!

theys really want to see the terrans die. Even if im toss and there way to much Terrans in CodeS, this will just make ZvT pretty much one sided. No reason to attack for the Zerg, no reason to do sth else than react....


Your right we should just let terrans get 4-5 bases. Why attack? lol... If a terran secured a gold base you couldn't attack it anyway so the removal of it doesn't change how zergs can attack or incentive to -_-.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Love the removal of gold bases really feel it's a step in the right direction for balanced game play

Happy to see Terminus removed, the older version was way too Zerg-friendly, while the new version is way too ridiculous for Zerg (pretty much vetoed in every ZvX matchup this past season).

Don't like the new map, reminds me of an improved Delta Quadrant (anything that gets compared to that is not good...)

New maps look very counter attack favored

Yeahhhh fuck gold bases. Was a stupid idea to include those anyway because of how much more useful they are to terran than protoss or zerg.

edit: also I think calm before the storm could use a little bit wider area around the 4th bases (the ones with the rocks on them) because it looks to me like there is no way a zerg can push a terran third once it has some siege tanks chillin there.

Sad to see no more 3-player maps in the rotation. XnF tends to produce interesting dynamics.

Does this mean Gold Minerals are officially dead in competitive scenes?
Thank God and gunrun.

'Calm before the storm' just looks like a sort of wider crossfire in a way..

And please can they change it to a one word name, or two

Are there rocks on every base of "Calm Before the Storm" except for the main and nats?

hmm I guess gold patches + mules are being blamed for terran dominance?


I feel like it's really how some strategies would revolve around taking the gold especially on dual sight.

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.


I'm almost certain we'll see Zerg numbers collapse and Protoss numbers grow with this sort of change, with a magnitude dependant on how big a change they make. I honestly don't see many change made to Terran numbers; a choke helps Terran as much as it helps Protoss, perhaps even more so.

Well mules were reason to remove gold. Even on Antiga, the 400 you spend on cc you can get back with 3 mules which is kinda stupid if you ask me. Also seems hard to take 4th on new map but at least you have 2.5 easily secured. Can not wait for siege contain on that map great map for zerg and protoss!

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...


You kidding, I hate dual sight too but come on, Terminus was just retarded against Zerg and I'm Terran.

Doubt it, maybe others will follow but no real backlash has occured cause of gold minerals (even though they do favor terran)

GSL maps, always a step ahead of Blizz's maps!
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
