Sure it has stuff in common with Daybreak, but it's nothing like Ohana at all. You can't just move down your natural ramp and have a third instantly secure.
It's nice to see fresh maps. I do wish, however, that Blizz would always just go ahead and add the GSL maps to their ladder pool. (instead of stupid shit like Tal'Darim with no rocks) This way the community would be more familiar with the maps and it's always more enjoyable, imo, to see games on maps that you know well/can relate to.
im glad to see ohana gone from the pool and whirlwind stay in, but shiiiiiiit antiga is so boring and tired. holding a 4th is damn near impossible unless you're a terran with a planetary on a gold base.
The map terrain is different but the expansion spots are almost exactly like Ohana's. In fact, the map looks like Ohana but with more trees and hills relocated to center.
Am I only the one that thought the map looked like Ohana at first glance?
The new maps looks nice, would like to have seen daybreak/entombed/antigia be removed before ohana. Hopefully more tournaments change there map pools as often as GSL does (I wish it was more but it's better than never)
