Gaema Gowon port looks better than its bw counterpart. Bifrost is an amazing concept map but very cheesy. Guillotine is an oldschool macro map (ie not that macro) that I think is remembered for two games today. The layout is pretty strange. Arkanoid is another concept map that was imba but had a few excellent games. So it's pretty clear that they are not trying to get balanced map through bw ideas, but looking for old concepts that might work in sc2. Not at all the bw superiority complex you guys fear. I think this is exactly what sc2 map making needs, less balance, more original maps. Edit @tidus of course, best game ever  | ||

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. Just reserve judgement and wait and see how the pros figure them out. Unless you're pro. | ||

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 ^_^. I guess 43% is a very good terran map these days vs Zerg | ||

Thanks Plexa. ^^ But I am super excited for some new crazytown maps getting serious play! For the game's sake I hope this spurs western tournaments to use new maps more often.

While most of those maps look completely unplayable at least it shows a willingness to experiment that a lot of tournaments are lacking at the moment. Also this. ^^ | ||

SC2 stagnated so much maybe we can see some evolution after all with these maps! To a brave new worlds and to OGN/Kespa for pushing inovation into map making since like 2002! | ||

And maybe blizzard can get a different way of looking at their game with these new maps and if they do they might be able to see that they can balance the game in a different way in a way that doesn't make playstyles so restrictive in SC2. | ||
