You'd be hard pressed to find an opponent on it regardless, given their custom game search.


Was more interested in playing vrs AI or one of my friends. You know... testing it out before it hits the ladder.

Yeah, that was disappointing to see on the new 1v1 map. Lord, I hate rocks at the third.

Yeah, I have never understood why team maps never have anymore bases than 1v1 maps. I might be fun to be have a 10 base vs 10 base 2v2!

Blizz really seems convinced that a balanced map has to have rocks on the 3rd - to be honest, this has gotten to a point where I find this quite amusing

Rocks at third are for balance in pvz. Zerg should not be allowed to get so fast third base. Map looks realy nice but like that high ground at 3. Not like that high ground!

hmmmmm MAYBE...it is to discourage making nothing but drones to 60 while hiding behind ur great wall of evo chamber + spine + queens? unless the enemy all-ins?
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

That new map needs a lot of work. Rocks at the third is absolutely absurd. Fast 3 bases is standard ZvP against a fast expanding Protoss which is also standard. Should be cross spawn only. Fine with Metalopolis gone, but Korhol was fine minus the fact that they wouldn't make the smallest effort to fix the fact that tanks can siege the 3rd from high ground. Simple fix, but apparently too hard for Blizzard to manage. Not gonna complain too much about it being gone. It was decent, but nothing to cry over.

If Zerg can't get a fast 3 bases against a 2 base all-in, we lose.

As someone who plays a lot of 2v2 I love that they took those two maps out. And I think Molton Crater looks like a great map. Although maybe a bit too easy to cannon rush (espcially the base without the gold adjacent to it).

I am not so sure about the other 2v2 map. the player's main base is in the shape of a nut bag.
A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."

zerg is extremely strong right now, stop complaining about a map that might not favor you when your race is doing really well, if this map didnt have rocks on it it would be unplayable

great changes to the 1v1 map pool, and the new 2v2 map pool should make it a little more interesting

Haha, i love the detail for the 1v1 map description and for the 2v2 map description its like, yeah eh its a map


although I only play 2s when I'm taking a break or playing with a friend in a lower league, the 2v2 maps look absolutely horrendous.


Same, only play with a low league friend, but still, the lack of map rotation has been frustrating. And now they remove the only genuinely good map and replace Discord IV with a map that looks very similiar in function. Shared starting base with one natural, two golds in the middle with towers, a couple of outlying expos that have to be accessed through the middle of the map.
On the plus side I actually like the look of the first new 2v2 map, with the shared natural with cliffs overlooking the entrance.

The 2v2 map pool is quite horrible, but the ones that they chose to remove were the worst imo. On Discord if you positioned your army in the middle it was impossible for the enemy to reach your half of the map on foot without attacking head on. One immobile army could guard 7 bases from a ground attack.

So I get to replace my Antiga veto (can't get a 4th easily) with the new map (can't get a 3rd early in PvZ). Awesome.

Speaking as a Zerg, I am sad.

Condemned ridge suffers from the same problem on close spawn that Taldarim does:
distance from natural to natural is way too close.
