If they fix the natural, the map look squite promising though, this way, its a worse xel-naga. | ||

I'll be he's left ladder games that were 30 mins long and said.."nice all in" It does look like mutas wouldn't be ass effective on these maps as there isn't much space with no ground underneath near the mineral lines. | ||

The lower league people don't even mind the map, they just care about cannon rushing and 6 pooling... Let's see here... 1) Tournament maps aren't automatically more balanced (Bel'Shir and Dual Site anyone?) 2) People playing Tournament maps want new map pools. 3) Tournaments want new map pools. 4) Half of the current map pools are Blizzard maps. 5) "We all" don't want hand-me-down maps. | ||

If that is actually a feasible way to c-rush, then I would have to agree. Sending your probes to kill that initial cannon would take upwards of a minute >.< | ||

Although that does let you get cannons in their main base almost completely safely, they're quite a ways from the nexus. I just tested it, and I think you need another pylon and at at least 2 more cannons to even get in range of their probes without ever exposing a cannon to attack by probes (EDIT: I mean, you have to build another cannon, followed by a pylon when it's finished, followed by another cannon). As long as they spot reasonably early, they should have plenty of time to get a forge and cannons of their own. Just be sure to check the inside of your base on that map (I'd recommend checking that area with your scouting probe, as you send it out to scout). That's assuming they're Protoss, that is. Terran will have marines that can easily stop your cannons from advancing, and Zerg has creep. It's a good map for cannon-rushing against Protoss, but I wouldn't call it "broken." | ||
