Clearly the fact that the bases are on high ground is enough to conclude that the map will be extremely Terran favored. Whirlwind is huge AND open, if anything it will be zerg favored. | ||

[/QUOTE] I don't agree, denying bases will be hard for terrans aswell, and they are the ones suffering most when both players get to four or more bases, as they can't reproduce fast or build a good deathball. But hey, we wont know before we see the maps in action. Always exciting with new maps! | ||

I think if you could pick one team that was carried hard by 1 player it would have been MVP the season they won it because it felt like everytime they were always down 3-0 or 3-1 and DRG would have to come in and win and then he did that. | ||

Whirlwind is huge AND open, if anything it will be zerg favored. I dont see a huge open map. It seems like a huge chokey map which would intheory be terrible for zerg but with a lot of flanking opportunities which is good for zerg. I see some good TvZ games coming out of it though with some good 2 base pushes for terran seiging tanks at that forth and elevatoring the main/natural and also possibly taking a super fast 4th on top there 3rd and doing a lot of drops which will be fun to see. | ||

That requires even more strategy! D: You're basically demanding they change their entire team league system, and remove all of the strategy involved in picking maps etc. just so they can drop a few? On top of that you act like a complete douche bag when doing it. Definitely one of the dumber posts I've come across =\ | ||

A lot of people don't like it because It's rather Protoss favored, but I agree that it's a good map and should stay. Lots of great games have been played on it. | ||
