If all tournaments should adopt the ladder version hopefully a change designed at simplifying things for low level players doesn't upset the balance or the awesome games it has been giving at the highest level of play. There must be a reason they made it have less minerals in the first place right? I also remember a video interview with david kim a while ago saying they won't be changing the tournament maps anymore after people complained about what they did with tal'darim but I'm not going bother finding it again. There are already multiple versions of Daybreak, and most tournaments can take the extra two seconds to type GSL Daybreak instead of Daybreak LE. On Ladder, people complained about the changes to Tal'Darim because rocks are terrible. If it's just making Daybreak's non-standard expansion into a standard expansion, I don't think there would be much outcry at all. | ||

I guess the back door is looking a little smaller than I originally thought because it kind of gets blocked by the resources, but that means hellions can easily shoot those patches. Xel'Naga Caverns may have been much worse, but I have had it vetoed for quite a while now. Xel'Naga kind of had an excuse being such an early map. | ||

But like seriously? What's with the ugly textures all the time? Why can't they take a note out of Bel'shir Beach. Despite its imbalances its got a beautiful tile set. Also the design on these maps is horrid. They are too obsessed with rocks and short games (herp derp 2 base all-in maps). | ||

 The 4player map does look decent though. I'm a bit concerned about the 2player map's naturals but we'll see how it goes. | ||

The 4 player map looks awesome! Should allow for some maneuvering around terran siege lines making it easier for zerg. Turtle expanding terrans might be able to expand siege bunker push all the way across the map though. Glad they removed the maps they did. | ||

I'm glad to hear they're taking the TLMC maps seriously as well. | ||

Thank you Kennigit ... I am absolutely sure, that you deserve the credit for this change ! Now we can at least veto all the shit maps and be left with pretty good ones :-D | ||
