Well since its loser picks it will mean the Ace match is on the most advantageous map for one race like either Atlantis Spaceship or Daybreak if its against terran or Antiga in a TvZ/P. | ||

I hope this can set a bit of a trend towards maps with all spawns enabled again. Wait whirlwind has all 4 spawns enabled? That is going create some strong drop play if you get bad spawns on a map that I already figured you could really easily get 4 bases if you spawn right. | ||

REALLLLLLY excited for Whirlwind. It seems in non-cross spawn situations, if your opponent is to your right, you take the third to your left, and vice versa. For cross, it seems like either is viable. | ||

I know it's tricky to design them, but when it's a 2-player game, they just aren't symmetric at all most of the time. It's really sad every time the caster starts a Tal'Darim TvT with "Well, A is going to really like these spawn positions...". Is THAT why Fighting Spirit is so bad? O_O | ||

I think there are still too many maps though, am I alone in thinking 5 maps is plenty and we can just repeat them (as long as they are good)? I guess in a team league extra maps is ok, but I'd still prefer less. | ||

It seems very BW-esque, which isn't a bad thing it itself, but I feel as if it could REALLY favor Zerg. Line of sight blockers, hard expansions to defend against Zergling run-by's, and what seems to me a serious lack of options for certain play styles. EDIT: Kind of reminds me of Fighting Spirit or Sniper Ridge.....I think......don't know my BW maps as well as I used to. | ||
