Oh god, another way for casters to ruin my viewing experience. I'm fine if this is in postgame replay analysis but plz don't try to have anyone use this in game.

The map overview tool could be really useful in those dull moments of the game, really showcasing what could happen (TvT anyone?). Also for people kinda new to the game this could really help them understand whats going on. I think its a really sweet tool. Could be annoying if overused though, just like in the NFL as an example.

This is great! But i think the drawing part should look better if it is to be used live in big tournaments.

Really like it! Dunno if it's good for big live tournaments, but awesome for analyses.

Man Day9 would love this!!! :D

Cool, this is one of the things I've known is possible with the map editor and was hoping Blizzard would be kind enough to implement into every game. Hopefully this pushes blizzard to make it a standard spectator tool.

What's that you say? This man should be hired by MLG or IPL? I couldn't agree more

Wow great tool! This would be perfect for like day9's style of commentary. You just know there's going to be tons of amateur casters that are going to be scribbling pointlessly all over online tournaments while important things are happening elsewhere on the map for the next few weeks though XD Will be great when used well though!

This looks awesome, if this is as good as it looks it could have a very positive impact on the casting scene, although I'm not quite sure if arrows being drawn over battles as they happen will be a good thing, though it should be great for casting from replays on Youtube( so you can edit out arrows put in the wrong place, at the wrong time), and this looks like a godsend for Day9 and others who are teaching the masses.

This has some serious potential. It would be awesome if casters started to use this. Good job !

Wow this is really sick. Is it possible to have that map feature used with the mini-map? I think that would really add alot of value as well i.e. for post game analysis.
