Wondering how the heck a Protoss is supposed to Forge Fast Expand on Whirlwind. What's up with the Supply Depot at THE TOP of the ramp to the natural?

Good riddance, Dual Sight, never come back! Worse than Steppes.

Whirlwind looks INCREDIBLE ! I think It will provide good games ! As for Musselheim, I think It's gonna be pretty boring, unless pro-gamers adapt more '' map specific '' strategies.

Always good/interesting to see new maps. Wonder how they will play out.

why cant add at least 1 map for 6m and see the results?

That would be more interseting for gsl.

Ohana is a terrible map, in my opinion, the second worst in the ladder after Korhal. Dual Sight's removal seems to be a good thing. I'm excited to see the new maps in action, specially Muspelheim (the realm of fire).

Well i have kind of the feeling that all of the sc2 maps look the same.. the layout etc... The sc1 maps were a lot more enjoyable.
I know its because of balance issues, but i think that the mapmakers job is really way too restricted by the players

Whirlwind looks like one of those maps where spawn locations have too big an impact on how the game plays out. Any close spawns allow for pushing into the natural or the third. Will be interesting to see nonetheless.

That said, Atlantis Spaceship needs to go.

If Whirlwind was just a little bit bigger i think it would be the best map we ever had for starcraft2 but i think in some spawn locations it could be a little imbalanced in tvz

Whirlwind as I expected, good standard 4p map. I only worry that 4 bases are too easy, would have preferred to have half base thirds/fourths.

Muspelheim is pretty good and the coloring is sth we haven't seen yet in comp maps I think. One thing I dislike tho is that the main hugging base is utterly useless to both players imo.

9 maps?

Atlantis needs to go, and I don't know why tournaments used Entombed in the first place.

Same reason they use Antiga Shipyard or Metalopolis for so long etc, least shitty ladder maps but not actually good maps when you compare them to all the maps that are out there.

GSTL is bo9, so it needs 9 maps lol

Altho I don't disagree with a team league having so many maps in the map pool, this logic is just flawed. Why do you need 9 maps for a bo9, can't you stand seeing a map twice during a clanwar or what...
