Wall-in on Arid. I think I could do a bit better at the top, but the pylon + core = ling-tight side entrance.

Edit: Actually, yes, the top part of this wall-in is a little silly. I could've moved the gateway up a little and then the top cannon to the right -_-

Either way, this works. The side can be blocked off entirely with a cannon and a core, which is the part people were unsure about.

He is right. They should probably put rocks on your main ramp too so you are safer to cheese and can get into long macro games!

Horizontal spawns on Entombed looks like an interesting third base to take...

Also I'd have thought they'd have learnt from Shakuras that an expansion which has two ramps to it both blocked by destructible rocks is just a nothing feature, it never really becomes relevant except on stupidly long games or when one player is so far ahead...

Also I really don't like this double downward ramp in to expansion stuff especially where a 3rd / 4th location is ambiguous...

i like the new maps, but i really hate big 4 player maps where you have to scout all the other bases ( tal darim / antiga ) so much. so i hope this new 4 player map isn't too big or only has 1 or 2 possible spawn locations



that 4-player map looks like it has a really long scout distance due to the main being way at the back of two ramps.

2 player map sucks if you aren't Deezer and that natural is horribly abusable. Great work on encouraging onebasing Blizzard.

FFE was so nice on Abyssal Caverns and Nerazim, and looks impossible on these maps. Ugh.

Arid Plateau is pretty much a Xel'Naga Caverns... I dont like it because you cant forge expand

Entombed Valley, 2nd ramp pretty big = very hard to forge fast expand

That means I'll probably "Thumbs down" new maps + Xel'naga... I dont get it how Blizzard is so stubborn and did not take any maps from GSL (CALM BEFORE THE STORM FFS), dont get me wrong I still see progress from steppes of war and other maps but its still not even for all races. A lot of Pro protoss players said that if P dont Forge fast expand in PvZ then its almost impossible to win (f.e Naniwa) I agree its not maybe auto lose but your very behind (and 1g + exp is bad)

Arid looks like a nightmare PvZ, going to be so difficult to safely take the natural.

those 2 blizzard maps actually look pretty fun and particularly balanced/interesting at least at a first glance compared to previous seasons.

Edit: Didnt think about FFE, zvp seems easier on these 2 maps, although the entombed one has plenty of chokes, probably a lot of 3gate and 6 gate timings.

Finally rid of Abyssal Caverns
Nerazim was ok, but nothing special.

New maps look... interesting, only one way to find out if they're good or not I guess.
Plateau looks cool, but I fear the gameplay on it won't be.
Entombed Valley is looking sweet though
