Just wait until KeSPA Protoss players start utilizing 4gate on Guillotine. D:
Desert Flower looks pretty much like I was expecting it to. Still my second favourite of the maps that were posted, with CalDeum being my favourite. If they improve the proportions of Desert Flower a bit, I think it'd be a very, very good map.

Needs more gold bases. And more rocks.

Just watch the VODs, games on the new maps are so fun. Can't wait for the new season.

Well, 4gate on Gullotine already happened in the SKT vs STX showmatch

I'm really excited to see how these maps play in SC2 tbh.
|
Even though Gullotine has some deports to narrow the choke, it's still too wide open and no high ground. It's gonna be so much fun to see all the 4gate and 2rax

Desert Flower is literally just another boring map like all the other maps in SC2 atm...

It really isn't.
Notice how much harder (a great thing) it is to get a third? It requires you to actually HAVE AN ARMY to defend your third, which is a massive problem on SC2 maps are right now.

These maps have been made in SC2 for A LONG time. most of them have been in custom games since season 1

Yeah but beeing made doesn't mean you are used, also now that they are between kespa's hands we can expect that they are gonna adapt to competitive play.

The third isn't common and the center needs more than 1 game to be figured out, I think there is a lot of possibilities ( and abuse?)
Most of those maps are so new, a lot of stuff will have to be figured out since it's new (obviously --') and it wont work like BW

Any idea where to download these maps maybe?
|
it would really cool to play these, any way to play them on na server right now?

It's massively different from all the other maps in sc2. Here are some big differences:
1, third is very far away and difficult to take
2, third has narrow choke to you but bigger choke to your enemy
3, natural has highground surrounded.
4, the center has two high-yield expansions in the high ground with two very very small chokes.
I would image PvZ will be very hard.

Anyone knows where to download these maps?
Ps. I know many have asked already, but I am so eager to lay my hands on them!
|
Yeah, are these on the NA client in custom games section? Apologies if I missed something ^^'

Wow, the Bisu v Classic (?) looked a lot of fun. I liked Bisu's consistent use of Blink Stalkers to set up flanks.

Um, no. SKT did a defensive, slower 4 gate with sentries, while STX did a blink build. Neither did the 4gate all-in. Either way, the game was silly and ended with 1-base vs. 1-base, which was basically as expected.

Where can I watch this match???

no xel naga towers will be pretty bad for any matchup

These maps must be able to function with the current WoL meta game and with the meta game in HotS. Surely HotS will be featued in Pro league as it will last for so long next year and the fact that HotS is shipped in march. I don't think it's possible to maintain map balance for both games.
