Dual sight being popular makes my brain hurt, but it doesn't suprise me. If I'd never watched professional SC2 I might vote for the prettiest map as well. | ||

Dual Sight is a lot like Arid Plateau, only worse. Bel'Shir Winter is like they took Tal'Dariim and thought, "how can we make this map even worse in even more matchups?" Daybreak is designed such that, even if the game is essentially over in 10 minutes, it generally can't actually end for another 25 minutes. Only exception to this is pure cheese, which the map is too big to allow proper scouting for. Metalopolis is like Daybreak, only rather than locking the game down because base trades are unavoidable, it locks the game down because there's no good way to attack in the first place. Crevasse has the worst case of rotational-symmetry-borne unfairness in any map yet used in a tournament pool, and is terribly unbalanced racially to boot. Terminus is like Crevasse meets Daybreak. I haven't seen enough games on Xel'Naga Fortress, but its rotational symmetry leaves me leery. | ||

All the other Matchups are very balanced on it. | ||

Also I like those two the best. :-) Bel'shir isn't used that much in foreigner tournaments either. I think Metropolis will start appearing, it is relatively new in GSL. | ||

I mean, I don't think any map is gonna be perfect and your standards seem pretty high -_- | ||

If you're going for foreign tournament used maps then Dual Sight/Terminus are much more proper choices, as bad as those maps are. | ||

This comment made my brain hurt (along with most of the other ones but this one especially did): honestly these maps are no fun, they are too clausterphobic. i likes the original season 1 maps when we had some different maps that started in positions other than exact opposite from each other every time | ||
