I can see Zergs really hating Arid Plateau. But really loving Entombed Valley. I am looking forward to the maps was hoping for more to be honest like 4-5 new maps.

These maps are actually not bad! They still look weird and a bit awkward but I hope they're not that bad.


If Blizzard continues the "6 tournament maps, 2 blizz maps" philosophy, I actually like the new maps being weird and experimental. I can always downvote them if they don't work, and if they do, then a tournament mapmaker can steal and polish the concepts.

It looks like hellion builds will be really... interesting on arid plateau with those two entrances to the natural.


It still seems defendable with 2 Spine Crawlers and 2 Queens. Xel'Naga was much worse, and Hellions weren't auto-win there.

I agree, the removed maps I haven't played once but the new maps aren't the best either. I think I just need to get used to it and actually play on it. ^-^

Arid looks like the most interesting sc2 map Blizz ever made. Is the way to bottom left/top right mineral blocked by the geyser at the nat ? This map will need some adjustment before it can make to a tournament pool.

The side entrance to the nat on Arid is really really narrow, and ought to therefore be easy to wall off. You should keep an overlord there to watch for sneaky bunkers. The third base is a good place to proxy rush.

Hm. I'm not sure how much the open natural will actually matter. It's a really awkward angle to attack from, and it's easy to get flanked. I think it's just something to be aware of.

At first I looked at Arid Plateau and assumed it was a 4player map and thought, "seriously, wtf, and of COURSE they're not going to disable close spawns..." then saw it was a 2player map, and was pleasantly surprised.

Promising, expansions that somewhat lead to your opponent. Let the siege lines begin.

How many zergs are placing baneling mines on the far left and right pathways of entombed?

I feel like zerg wouldn't be too good on that map as sure it is open in the middle and easy to grap a quick natural there seem to be a lot of really good defendable chokes around the bases. It looks like terran could take an easy 4 bases and defend them pretty well.

But otherwise I like the look of the second map but the 2 player one looks really bad I will probably just end of vitoing it or I will just vito both again because the two maps they took out I already vito'ed.

These seem like free 3 base maps, probably quite good for mech-terran and turtle protoss.

Entombed looks alright.
