And yea, Condemned Ridge looks a little too Protoss friendly (this coming from a Protoss player). If that choke point is small enough, I think you might even be able to just FFE from the natural ramp to the third's choke, while having a cannon kill the rocks. | ||

well just another map where it depends on spawing position to take a hidden or risky early third base | ||

that would have been the worst Z map that ever existed ...good thing korhal is out so i get one of my vetos back YES on the other hand i'm not sure what to think about the new map... at least the mappool gets smaller so maybe if i don't have to veto it i can finally play only on maps where i don't have a disadvantage against at least 1 race | ||

- Rocks at 3rd: zerghate. - High ground cliff behind 3rd: Terran love (siege tanks will own there). - Only 1 (!) entrance to defend all three bases. How easy can you make it for T and P? Looks like their mapmaking "team" still consists of clueless people... and there definitely is no Zerg player among them... sigh.. I guess we have a new insta-veto. And why no Metropolis? Why didn't the mapmaking "team" just fix the Metropolis issues instead of creating this collection of wasted bits and bytes? | ||

Metalopolis simply isn’t being used in tournaments anymore, and this map has some balance issues as well. (4)Metropolis LE is an improved version of this map that will see use in a future ladder season. Is there a typo here? How can Metropolis be an improved version of Metalopolis? | ||

Yeh looking at the picture, the choke at the 3rd if anything seems smaller than the ramp at the natural so just FFE at the 3rd seems crazily easy. Maybe theres some blocker to stop it, otherwise Im going to enjoy FFE into 3 base collosus timings | ||

Lategame will be funny, as you can plonk down a PF and defend 3 bases at once with it. Terran income is save ! | ||

Did they even mention whether horizontal spawns are enabled or not? If they are, then christ, that has to be the worst "macro suitable" map they've ever released. It's like they've never even seen a game go past the five minute mark. | ||

It is not like Z needs any special help by the map pool nowadays. And it's not that bad if you compare it to the early days of horrible maps for Z. | ||
