According to his sign, LS has worked for KeSPA and apparently, the map is ordered to be removed from TL and Crux | ||

Belshir vestige? looks like another big zerg map. Abyssal city is big and heavily favours zerg against terran so far. Whirlwind is awesome in tvt but has problems in other matchups. They still seem to have a "bigger is better" approach from what i've seen. Actually whirlwind has been awesome for tvz as well. It's produced some awesome games and it's not heavily zerg favored either as it makes going that bl/corr/infestor ball not viable. Big maps like whirlwind (at least vs terran) make those kind of armies not viable because terran can just go for a base trade if they have to and the zerg will not be able to defend vs it if that is what happens. Big maps make ultra/ling/bane/infestor a lot better and more entertaining to watch to. I'll never understand why terrans hate big maps like whirlwind in tvz when it's not bad for terran players at all except for tvp, but that's because of warp in and what ^_^. | ||

Less time to prepare map specific builds or strategies and less time to practice against others. Aside from that, the maps do look diverse and interesting. I just hope there won't be too many exploits or racial imbalances. In the short term it would result in lower quality games, but it has the potential of increasing overall quality in the long term by requiring players to work harder (more maps to study) to achieve good results. However by having Kespa players play in maps that GSL players don't play it would handicap Kespa players in GSL tournaments. | ||

That's why some people, me included, are voicing concerns, because some of the maps have attributes that according to conventional wisdom would be bad, especially for Protoss. Only because they were great for BW doesn't automatically make them great for SC2. | ||
