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) in fact you CAN FFE: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=295188 lots of surface area though, so you'll need more than normal vs. roaches. Decent jpg on the second page. | ||

Because, if you spawn, say in the bottom left, the natural expansion (whatever it might be), will be pain in the ass to protect. It's a two player map, with spawns in upper left and lower right. You can tell by comparing the ramp sizes from those locations to the wider ramps of the other two. The others are wider. | ||

Thank you very much!  | ||

That leaves only 3gate expo or 1base tech unless you're comfortable building 6 or 7 cannons when roaches show up. Dont get so technical on me yo! You know what I mean. You just cannot FFE every map.. We as tosses need to learn better openings/builds other than FFE..and thts how the game should work..Its really crappy sometimes to FFE and then see a zerg get on 3 base EZ PZ..3 base zerg with 6 gas is a nightmare to handle many times, unless you do a 2 base strong timing. Anyways.. I am looking fwd for Arid and how it plays out..Just need to smarten up and add finesse to your opening/BO | ||
