Mr. Chae answered, though, so I guess making that post is not necessary anymore: Crossfire will be removed from the mappool in the next GSL season. Yay! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/0l4oG.png) edit: Because a lot of people have been asking about Dual Sight and Bel'Shir Beach I tweeted at Mr. Chae again, answer came pretty quickly. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/rqQVO.png) So apparently no definite decision on if those maps will stay or go. | ||

With Mutas being prevalent and strong in ZvP it's very hard/impossible for Toss to beat Zerg in a longer game. You need to be able to turtle on 3 bases to defeat Mutas properly and the bases are very far from each other on Crossfire. | ||

But yeah players didn't like the map and you could see it in the choice of strategies, so removing it will improve the viewer experience. | ||

Good to see it go, especially if a better map takes its place. It was an interesting case study of a decent BW map not quite transitioning very well into SC2, and perhaps a lot can be learned from that. | ||

It's just too hard for any toss to actually move out. Walling in areas is also too difficult for the map due to the wide but multiple attack paths into the third. Lots of maps are good muta maps, but the good Protoss players defend them admirably. The stats don't make this map look completely imba, it should still stay. | ||

On February 17 2012 21:31 Baum wrote: Dualsight while not really being the best map has produced a lot of very fun to watch games and Bel Shir is a good map and it's very hard to play so I think it definitely should not be removed. I mean if you want those maps gone you really want the map pool to consist only of 4 player 3 base turtle maps? I wouldn't mind Dual Sight but Bel Shir should stay. Therre's enough 2p maps that are by far better than Dual SIght or Bel'Shir. It's just a matter of testing them and picking them up. Some examples: - Sanshorn Mist, used in Korean Weekly since forever now, also IPL map - Korhal Compund , obviously ladder map now - Odyssey, One Must Fall, Damage Inc, currently used and tested by NASL - the last top5 of Map of the Month + if you look through the thread you'll see even more good 2p maps as submission for the next month I'd be very happy if Dual Sight and Bel'Shir would finally be removed. Crossfire was also rly obvious. | ||

Also, I never liked Crossfire. It always felt a bit stupid to me; the bases were all over the place and taking your third was tough. | ||

Two of the best looking maps that offer awesome games? At least Crossfire was somewhat skewed balance wise :/ | ||

I don't mind BSB too much, because I enjoy having one map which really encourages base trades. It's fun. I think mappers today could implement that idea in a better way, though. | ||

What has happened to "Terminus" in GSL ? I liked both versions ( 3rd has an blocked entrance and 3rd has no second entrance, but was blocked by debris. It is still played a lot in weekly EU Cups and tournaments. | ||

Crossfire, with its narrow routes of travel, strongly favored AoE units like colossi and siege tanks, made forcefields insanely strong, and hindered players from getting concaves (esp bad for zerg). The positioning of the ramp to the main allows a player to FF the ramp immediately upon approaching the natural, giving a zerg no time to react in case a part of his army is up the ramp. | ||

The actual design of the map wasn't bad, although it might not be popular today because the natural was easily siegable. If the map had been twice as big as it was, it probably would have been the best in the pool along with Metalopolis and Xel'naga Caverns. Conversely, it doesn't matter how large you make Crossfire, the map is bad. I never played on Peaks of Baekdu in BW but if people enjoyed the map there it must have been because it was a different game. Way too many chokes, but at the same time way too many attack paths, but at the same time way too few defendable expansions. At least on Steppes if you somehow made it past the 6 minute mark it was relatively easy to hold 3 bases. | ||

Are you saying that because you don't think Daybreak is a good map or because you hope the standards get so high that a "good" map might still be the worst map in the pool? | ||
