I disliked this map when I first played it but I haven't played it since then, so if it has been judged this highly then that's awesome!

This map is soo bad! almost impossible for Zerg to win on this versus either terran or protoss. There isn't one area on the whole map which isn't narrow making engaging a toss favourably impossible, and there are just ledges which scream siege tank abuse everywhere on top of being narrow being good for terran too.



I wonder what race you play....rofl.


Grats Pat, glad to see the map team getting recognition. <3

There's only one Korean "Starleague" and it still hasn't used a foreign map.

though the ITV ranking league used a foreign map way back when

Actually found out about this after, but even from Bill's own description the iTV was a "for fun" league, not really a Star League. Also you will find that most people lump up things like MSL into the term "Star League" (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=226236).

So yea I learned a bit today but I still feel like this is fair.

They have to add rocks and sight blockers first, then it will be on ladder.

I just tried a couple games on it as each race, I really like it.

The "SL" in GSL stands for "Starcraft II League". Diamond is correct in that other leagues are often lumped together as "starleagues" by non-Koreans, and for that reason I think his usage of the term is fair, but technically there is only one Starleague and that's the Ongamenet Starleague.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that Ongamenet has trademarked "Starleague"

Hope to see an epic TvT. I wonder what the different TvT styles will look like on this map!


It's like Xel Naga Caverns:

Bio can be really strong early on because of all the different ways to maneuver around the map, but as the tank number grows the chokes become really powerful, and help secure the foward positions/bases.

Except you have a natural you can actually defend, and splitting the map by the xel nagas is impossible because of all of the surface area you have to cover (plus that fucking roundabout route on the side expansions).



Ah, thank you :D. Cloud Kingdom is more vertical too, meaning sensor towers will be better, which will help mech as well :D

I personally never thought about that in relation to mech/sensor towers, interesting.

I'm guessing this map has been included because it's FUCKING AWESOME. This is actually one of the best custom maps I've played on. I don't know what makes this map so frickin' good, but more maps need to be like this. The best 2-player map I've played on in SC2 to date.

I enjoy seeing any map that has wildly different features than your basic maps. As for balance i tend to trust the koreans and the gsl. they dont just pick their maps at random so im sure this was tested and found to be passable. only time will tell but at least they are trying out different things!

Maybe Diamond should rename the thread title to:

"First time a map has featured in the premier korean tournament to be associated with a starcraft game"

and people would be okay with it TT
