Wow, 5 teams in the GSTL are "partnership" teams between two teams... lame. Notice that those are mostly partnerships with western teams. They will have like westerner sitting on the bench for the western audience to cheer for them. Also. Any one thinks after GSTL we will have either SK.Mvp or SK.Nestee?
Doubt it. They just landed that huge sponsorship deal with LG for those two players specifically, I believe.
That's why they're LG-IM now.

Whirlwind looks great, but am I the only one who thinks Muspelheim looks kinda boring?
|
Whirlwind's gonna be good for terran drop play from the looks of it. Massive ground distance from 3rd/4th at the front to main and hardly any air distance
|
Excellent news, can't wait to see how the new maps play out.
|
It was not mentioned in the OP, but is Calm Before the Storm removed from the GSTL map pool?
|

ooo whirlwin dlooks so cool, i wish it were on the 1v1 ladder
|
Whirlwind is fucked if not cross only. 4th for zerg is impossible with close ground pos.

at first glance they looked like team game maps. but upon closer inspection i think these maps have great potential. i hope they show us some good games!
|
On whirlwind as protoss you can defend 8 bases with few walls on ramps and 1 choke, that just....
makes up for the imbalance ;P
|
Looking forward to this =)
|
I really feel that muspelheim needs to have the lighting on it redone, it's way to dark as it is currently. A name change would also be nice but not as necessary.
|
more 2 players maps... 4 player random spawn maps are just imbalanced 
at least atlantis is back <3
|
Glad to see new maps. hopefully whirlwind plays as good as it looks :D

Cause one player always decides to cheese on it.

Super confused why Muspelheim is in, and why Atlantis is still in.... Agreed. I would give Antiga and Entombed the axe as well. very excited to see whirlwind tho! 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.
It's kind of a Zerg's nightmare, especially in ZvP, but also in ZvT, the base setup makes mutalisk play next to impossible, makes it extremely easy for both T and P to grab a quick 3rd. Then, if the zerg wants to take a 4th, they have to somehow hold a wide open base against a very scary 3 base push from the terran or toss.
The choke to the 3rd is also tank and forcefield HEAVEN, there are so many places to stick tanks and forcefields that just murder melee units.
This is coming from someone who played zerg, then switched to protoss. The map is stupidly in favor of toss in PvZ.
The aesthetics are also completely half-assed, someone at blizzard probably made that map during their lunch break.
On the other hand, its a great map for PvT, mirror matches are more interesting because there are 4 spawns, and brood lords are quite good on it. I just feel that the style of map could be a lot better than the way its done on entombed.
