I'm beginning to wonder myself if a FFE will be viable on that map. Perhaps at the forward choke where the two trees are. A Metalopolis style FFE doesn't seem possible judging by the distance from the ramp to the nexus but that could always be avoided by the 2nd path. Hmmm

not a fan of that either, looks like it could be missing a set of rocks somewhere.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

yeah ffe works on every map with something you can consider a natural expansion. Baneling busts don't really work againt an ffe in any way, simply because targetfire by canons ;o.

I would say arid plattoo needs an additional pylon to be save but thats it. But a zerg will have tons of problems against early aggression, means its better to apply aggression while getting your expansion down.

It's hard to tell until we can actually play the map. The distancing just makes it look too vunerable.I think zerg will be able to easily take 3 bases on this

I could see a 2 gate/Stargate opening working on the 2 player map. Use pressure on the Zerg expansion since taking a third will be very difficult to defend and use that pressure to take your natural. Transition to drop play and the Zerg will be playing defense all game. I do think that a FFE isn't wise on the map though.

New maps look ok, but I have to agree with pretty much everyone else in that I don't think that first one will be around for very long, haha. I think the big deal here is the TL Open comment. People should definitely take the time to let Blizzard know we would really love to have some community maps in the map pool.

I wouldn't mind seeing them add GSL maps like Bel'Shir Beach, Daybreak, etc.

Arid plateau's natural is really far away so i think a fast expansion is out of the question for Z in any matchup the second map has a really hard to defend 3rd so im not really sure but lets find out!

Hey, Blizz? If you're talking about "tournament ready" maps, why don't you put maps that actually are used in tournaments, aka. the maps created by the professionals at GomTV and the GSL? Give me Calm Before the Storm and Winter Bel'Shir Beach!

Two vetos out, two more vetos back in.

my only complaints:

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 ><


that encourages a macro game and fast 3rd, right? you can't expect to be able to roach ling into contain every game...now protoss can have the same income as the zerg.

there's a difference between a takeable 3rd and an easy 3rd. i just think its way too easy, maybe if the ramp up to the third were farther from the ramp into the natural, or if there were more airspace behind the mineral lines to sneak mutas in, then it would be ok, but as it is, its just too easy.

Hey, Protoss. Here's a little food for thought.

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.
So what? The way the game is built is that Zerg is meant to be up in expansions, it should be easier to take. What he said was right, we dont deserve to be able to FFE every single map. Wider natural produces different things for every races, in our case it might mean were forced to- omg do the standard of two months ago- and 1 gate fe!

Looks like gold bases are out. Fuck yeah! Though Blizzard really seems to keep their fetish for rocks in the open.

Anyone know what tileset Entombed Valley is using? I'm trying to update Liquipedia and I just can't figure it out and feel really dumb for that.
