They look nice, and they removed the maps that needed removing, so I'm glad.

I just wish they would finally get rid of the old maps and replace them with some of the TL Open/GSL maps earlier.

Going in the right direction now though, I think.

Eh Nerazim was fine IMO but I like having more 2 player maps back in the pool.

The 2 player map looks pretty good, but on entombed valley, if you can shell the natural hatch from the low ground down those narrow paths Zerg is fucked in vertical positions it'll basically be slag pits vertical positions all over again. Or like close positions where your back is to the terran's ramp except you don't have watchtowers to keep an eye out for the push and it's too narrow for a flank.

I hope that's not the case.

Just to make sure, you spawn Top Left/Bottom Right on Arid right?

Would you look at that? MORE ROCKS!
DOUBLE THE ROCKS OVER PREVIOUS MAPS!

PROGRESS!

... at least they removed those two foul additions instead of removing Tal'darim or Metal (again).

Hmm. On first glance both these maps look more or less okay. Kind of excited for them honestly.

I'm so glad they removed Abyssal Caverns and Nerazim Crypt, these new maps don't look too bad either.

Well at least one of the new maps has no gold bases. And those maps sucked.

I think the more important announcement of the maps is that Blizzard is seriously considering the TL maps

I dont know how toss is going to get a third on the 2 player map... its not going to be easy, looks like a great map it just might lead to a lot of 2 base timing attacks.
No Artosis, you are robin

Killing the opponent's fourth in ZvT looks kind of impossible on the 4 player map.

I dont like the 2 player map, natural seems so abusable from backdoor side.

The 4 player map seems like Antiga 2.0
seriously.
