So am I just too dumb or is the new map not on EU battle.net?
I can't find the new GSTL map either. I really miss the pre 1.5 times when I could just type in GSL and play their map pool T.T

How is toss supposed to take a third here?

Maybe they want Protoss to Immortal Sentry all-in every game.

why everybody puts that ---- xelnaga tower to all maps who need that it ruins game nothing interesting just camping around it nothing more......without it will be more interesting but now all map makers just give 1-4 xelnaga to destroy nearly whole map control by one vision in middle......this maps is just destroyed by xelnagas everywhere.making maps for dumbass afk campers not exciting attack or suprise.......no scout ... also sensor towers,xelnagas why when teran have scan , protoss obs, zerg overlords + low cost lings...... Where u see on BW xelnagas ???? where????another point where was BW better sadly for SC2 now.....

I don't think Toss can beat a zerg on this map

Edit: Hang on, does anyone see this as Daybreak, except the spawns have been swapped with bottom left to top left, and top right to bottom right? Its like the whole map has been rotated 90 degrees.

Rocks in the middle, xelnaga giving sight of the rocks, a pocket 3rd just outside the nat, a 3rd long the side, a 4th further down from the 3rd, etc etc

1. See a map for the first time
2. Making sweeping generalization

Excellent!

Map looks great and the pool is fantastic overall. I am a Z and I hate Antiga but I know it can create some interesting games -- not every map needs to favor us.

The problem is that with maps where Toss can't easily take a third, they tend to do nothing but 2 base all ins. Expect to see a lot of Immortal/Sentry.

I thought GOM were taking a new approach to maps instead of adding huge maps mix in a few shorter maps which changes the game tempo but obviously my trust has been misplaced.

From a Terran perspective looks like 2 Medivac pushes are hopeless on this map in TvP and any other matchup, the narrow routes make Mech the only viable choice.

Yet another huge map? As if terrans didn't have a hard time vs zerg already...

Exactly what I thought and I don't even play Protoss lol. Looks like a pretty good Zerg map, so many counter attack paths, not sure if this will work out at all.

Looks kinda boring. Seems like it will not be different from how Daybreak played out.

The new map kinda looks like a flipped version of Dual Sight with expansions in the middle. I haven't played it, but defending the third and the main looks hard as balls, and even defending the fourth...

Really like all the ramps and the expansion placements though. Kinda looks like a new Daybreak to me! :D

I dunno if this map is really a worthy replacement of Ohana. Infact getting rid of Ohana at all seems like a really weird move. They aren't obligated to shove a new map in their pool every season.

What's the issue with Protoss taking a third on this map? Is it because it's far from natural? Isn't the issue that Zerg can too easily defend their thirds? I haven't played in a while but Protoss seems to have success with things like immortal pushes to stop or heavily damage the third if you can micro well.

Seems very interesting. I think as Toss you can deny the Zerg a lot when you abuse all the chokes on the map but it´s still very zerg favored imo. I hope some pros do games on that map so we can see how it turns out for PvZ.
