Entombed Valley has a cool idea that I wonder how it will balance out for a 3rd. I can imagine fully walling off the ramp to the other 3rd vs zerg and its still a pretty safe expansion to take as either protoss or terran in PvT. I can imagine the 4th being a little tricky but managable to take if it came to that and like most 4 player maps after 4th leads to an easily splittable half map game. The routes around the middle will probably need to be pylon/depot walled like the backdoor in xel'naga if it goes into a half map. Im also a little curious if that lowground patch below the natural can be landed on | ||

So how will this play out: 1. turtle 2. get 200/200 3. attack 4. lose army 5. go to 2. Unfortunately people will like it cos it's so easy to macro... (2) Arid Plateau is quite solid I guess. Again the third is a bit easy, the nat is probably a bit hard to defend properly PvZ and the gold ... well it's a gold... The middle overall is quite nice tho. It's nothing outstanding, new or fresh really, it's solid work with some flaws that will likely ruin it. I'd not want either of them in tournaments and I really really hope no tournament will use them just because they are on ladder. | ||

2. I'm surprised, thinking those were the TL contest maps, I expected the maps brought from TL would be better than these. 3. Actually read the OP "we're considering adding your good maps" 4. LOL Blizzard just let TL handle it omg what is that first map wow. At least no more Neverzim or Abysmal, those were awful. | ||

These maps are actually not bad! They still look weird and a bit awkward but I hope they're not that bad. I forgot the first one was 2 players so i looked at the base with the rocks behind it and i was like... the natural is so far... and it... IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE ENEMY? oh nevermind it's 2 players only ^^ 2nd map has no gold =O Again they look weird but they might actually be decent. Hopefully they are. Anyways they probably are better than nerazim/abyssal caverns, and if not, those 2 weren't the shittiest maps around, much better than blistering sands and kulas and jungle basin, haha. And searing crater (for recent map comparison). | ||

the first one is bright, the 2nd one doesn't look too bright but it certainly isn't dark, neutral I guess i wonder if a PTR will go up? | ||

Second map looks okay, but I think 2 base all ins are going to be really common on horizontal positions, what with the rocks and the really awkward alternative thirds. Any better Toss than me have thoughts about FFE on these? | ||
