But arid plateau ....... did they test PvZ on that map?? Cause within 5 seconds of looking at it I realized there is no way to forge expand, and therefore no way protoss will be able to deal with muta ling on that map (how will you ever defend a 3rd against muta ling when your natural is so much later than the zergs) Because protoss will need quit a bit of units just to defend that natural. I can see zergs taking a lot of bases on that map once mutas are out. Look how much ground toss would have to protect to defend his probes at main and natural + buildings from muta harass. Maybe I'm missing something obvious here (just got off work am I'm tired) so someone help me out here. | ||

Very favorable for runby lings or terran pushes. It's kind of reminiscent of xelnaga cavern's natural...slighlty worse | ||

I look at it for PvZ at least and see about the hardest FFE I've ever come across, plus a huge, flat plain perfect for surrounds and a tremendous, un-blink-able separation between main and nat. | ||

I think the first map Arid will not be chosen by most of Protoss players because it looks so hard to defend 3rd base against drops/mutas/zerglings/... Even the 2nd base has 2 entrances. Zerg players won't like this map too because it not easy to have the 3rd base. So, I expect only TvT on this map then, lol. The second map Entomed look pretty solid. I think that there is a chance this map can become a tournament map like Antiga. | ||

Getting the natural will be a little awkward, but not too bad because of the rush distances The rush distance on this map is comparable to Shakuras Plateau or the longest distance on Metalopolis. If the rush is about the same as Cross Metal, then it's not so bad. As Zerg, once you have that nat, you have a choice of two fairly easy thirds, the other one of which you can use as a fourth. | ||
