Highground doesn't mean much fo anything past early game (except maybe TvT a little bit more). You can say "behind a choke" tho.

Muspelheim looks a bit odd for me while I really like whirlwind. These will obviously add new flavor and styles to the GSTL and I think that it might allow snipers that can analyze maps well to play really well. I'm curious to see how it turns out

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.

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!

Great looking maps. Interested to see how they will play out in GSTL. It's going to be funny seeing the Korean casters try to pronounce Muspelheim (무스펠하임) hahaha.

Seems like a solid map pool. I don't find Muspelheim too promising, though. I don't think many games will go past the second base. Guess we'll have to see.

Whirlwind should be interesting as you can choose which 3rd to take based on opponents spawning location.

Ya, agree completely.

How do you propose they play a bo9 series with less then 9 maps?

That sort of ruins the format though. It's loser picks, and you can only use each map once. That's a very key aspect of the format, because you can pick a map you don't want them to bring out later, and there's a lot more strategy.


Or just have predetermined maps like Proleague and coaches have to decide which players play which maps beforehand. That requires even more strategy! D:


And that's a completely different format, GOM wants to use "winner's league" or all-kill format


i.e. "The only reason we win is because of we have one guy who carries us-format" *cough*Prime*cough*



Prime has the 3 headed monster of Ghostking Marineking and Maru to defeat to beat them and thats why they win. 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.

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.

How well balanced is Whirlwind exactly? I've been running custom games on it with all the races and it seems a good map for all races

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 =\

Why is there always so much hate for Entombed? It's statistically quite balanced and has made for imo many of the best games in GSL.

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.
