Muspelheim looks like it has ridiculous positioning for T to siege the nat/third with the high ground areas and the way the bases are laid out, I'm hoping it ends up being good.

They really called a map Muspelheim in an international community... not sure they thought that all the way through

Muspelheim is easy to pronounce. You all overestimate its difficulty.

Mus-pel-heim.

Anyways, great maps. I'm excited to see how both maps play out. Muspelheim seems to have a lot of LOS blockers, which should be interesting to see.

muspelheim is really good for zerg muta ling, very counter-attack orientated..

I absolutely love Whirlwind. Muspelheim seems a bit boring too me at first glance, not as interesting as Whirlwind to say the least, but nevertheless both maps look like good additions.

Though I think they should have replaced Entombed and Atlantis with these two maps instead of just adding them. But awesome news nonetheless.

Both look beautiful!

One request: someone from ESV make a damned beach tileset map! I miss the beauty of Bel`shir.

Wow, whirlwind looks amazing. Proabably the most intelligently designed map I have ever seen.

Also: Yeah, Bel'Shir was awesome (really loved Bel'Shir Winter, we need more seasonal maps [I want some sort of Autumn map with fall colors and leaves and stuff, that'd be sick!]).

And the flying shark better return on one of these maps. Seems like it'd be a good fit on Whirlwind.

pretty sure Ohana uses the beach tile set.

i'm pretty happy with these new maps. but isn't the map pool still kinda huge?

Wide entrances, hard to get 3rd in pvz, easy to get 3rd in pvt, can go up to about 4 bases or 5-6 in very "special" situations... well, that's something new that will surely help the 2 non mirror matchups that are atm more random than mirror ones.
Honestly, i would really like to see some new map designs, doesn't have to be steps of war-ish nor Calm before the storm-esc but something new... if not, than why not keep the old ones so at least the meta game can evolve faster due to the older maps.

At least the art design is nice... finally there is a "volcano" map that i might like environment wise
