BUT why the fuck is xel naga caverns still in the pool? The map just sucks for almost all the matchups. Meta and Shattered should go soon as well. Oh yeah and lol at them talking about 4 player maps having spawn positions that might favor one player over another and not having antiga be cross only... | ||

entombed is going to be too easy to take a quick 3rd for toss and terran and turtle. there isn't really an easy way to muta harass and the only ways into any of the bases are two ramps that are basically right next to each other. arid plateau has a gold expansion >< | ||

Just that ladder map should be constantly replaced. We still have those maps for practice. Blizzard can replace Tal'Darim with some other GSL map too, there are alot of great maps on GSL map pool. Yeah, I don't like Shattered much, and Tal'Darim is okay. | ||

I didn't take the screenshots myself -- they're straight from the Blizzard post. I'll double-check with the editor when I get home and update the OP if necessary. | ||

It's good that Blizzard have realised that spawn positions on 4 player maps can provide 1 player with an unfair advantage. PvP on Antiga is pretty bad for that. But then again Blizzard should just follow the tournaments lead and force cross positions on that map anyway I guess they haven't caught on to the GSL trend of removing golds but to be fair that base is far away, very wide open and requires you to break down rocks just to get at it. It's not like metalopolis where you can just float a CC there, drop down 10 mules and strip mine it dry in 2 mins | ||

Z can try their optimal econ build--15 hatch--on you, but it's pretty risky due to the possibility of a cannon rush. So they can take that risk or they can go pool first and be safer. There's nothing written in stone that says you are entitled to a 100% safe FFE on every map. The game should have risks. That's what makes it a game. So I assume we can double FFE safely when you 15 hatch right? No, because as a Protoss you can't defend it without cannons and as a zerg a 15hatch is perfectly defendable. | ||

The 2-player map is somewhat okish, although it's probably pretty zerg favored. | ||

in fact i can already picture tvz on horizontal positions on that map. terran takes 3rd quickly and easily, then later moves down from the 3rd's ramp to almost immediately arrive to zerg's equivalent "3rd ramp" (which most zergs would not take as a 3rd in this situation). terran siege pushes up this 3rd ramp, toward the location of zerg's rocks, sieges the zerg's main ramp + natural choke from a protected narrow choke position (both behind and in front)...all very quickly due to the short distance. Scary.. | ||
