Arid Plateau looks 2-3 base allinish. How are Terran and Protoss supposed to take a 4th vs. Zerg?

The same way they do on daybreak or Xel'Naga or Metalopolis, which all have a similar setup of bases.

Maybe Blizz's definition of balance is putting a Zerg favoured map and a Toss/Terran turtle favoured map into the ladder pool at the same time.

...lol

Are we really calling 3 base pushes all-ins now?

arid plateau is a joke, the natural is undefendable for non-terran races.
If they fix the natural, the map look squite promising though, this way, its a worse xel-naga.

I like Arid Plateau. It's a lot different.

LOL, you're right, that post was ludicrous. Sad state of affairs. 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.

good they got rid of those two maps, so zerg-unfriendly. let's see if the new maps will play out, gl

bit disappointed tho, i thought they'd add daybreak or belshir beach or the GSL macro maps
It's all about the journey, not the outcome.

Ah good, looks like I can take less risky fast third against FFE protoss on these maps, although it might be tricky with horizontal positions on entombed valley. I'm satisfied with these changes, might not be the best but its still ok.

On the 4-player map you can cannon rush like this:

where a pylon is blue, cannon is red.

Broken map anyone?

Why does Blizzard NOT get 1 year into the game that we want all tournament maps on there? 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.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

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."

Hmm, considering the maps they are removing for these new ones, I am happy with these changes. They look interesting...would be fun to play on them for a bit, at least. If they end up being horrible I have plenty of vetoes to spare!

Although it's possible, it seems kinda pointless. More likely used for warp in's via an observer

i dislike the first map, it will be really difficult to hold the natural because zergs depend on the connection of the main ramp to the natural for hellions and other pushes so the defenses are in one area.

the second map seems pretty good! i kinda like it
