The hell, the natural on Arid is worse than Xel'naga Caverns... 6-7gate TvP will be so hard to hold. Gonna veto that ASAP

They don't look too bad, atleast better than the two they are replacing.

It's not as bad as XNC. At least they're mildly out of the way so it isn't a natural third/planetary. I've always disliked XNC for that reason.

those which meet our standards have a chance to be included in future ladder seasons.

In other words, if you want to be featured you need 3 things.
1. Rocks
2. Difficult 3rd bases
3. Rocks

It's nowhere near as bad as Xelnaga.

That part is good, but the nat is painfully exposed. Not a huge fan of the dual (fairly wide) entrances.

arid plateau looks OP for zerg, so many counterattack paths. don't like it. entombed valley looks promising though.

Oh thank god that they removed Abyssal and Nerazim. I vetoed those maps anyways, but at least I can have some more map diversity now.

Well, instead of having a huge front entrance and a narrow backdoor, you now have two medium sized entrances. Pretty bad :/
The other map doesn't look bad though.

Arid looks like a super good terran map, looks so easy to defend their natural and third bases from muta

They removed two of the only maps that you can FFE on. Thanks, Blizz, as if PvZ wasn't hard enough already.

It's wide, but I think FFE can still work. You might need 2 cannons, but clever placement will cover the expansion.

The 2 player one looks like it might be hard for toss to expand. Four player one doesn't look bad tho.

im alright with the maps they removed..but Arid Plateau will definitely be veto'd. that third looks horrible to defend if terran gets a siege right at that choke leading to the third.

i might give it a shot, but will likely be veto'ing it :/

as for entombed valley im not sure how i feel about it. too many rocks, though sheesh. starting to get sick of the gimmicky design. i just want straight up play. nothing fancy. GOM seems to have the idea down, unfortunately blizzard seems to disagree with that notion

You can't safely FFE on metal or xelnaga.
