I like the way they got rid of the usual "big-ass-space-behind-all-your-bases", i really hope they'll set new standards in map making as they did for BW.

They might not be balanced for now, but they feel so much right to my eyes that the sc2 ones.
I have to return some videotapes.

I'm a zerg, and zerg has the most to lose from new map ideas usually. But I'm so tired of the stale maps the map pool is full of currently. Glad to see these new maps.

New maps can certainly help on some balance issues.


And some will make them ten times worse. I still think that's a good thing, though - all maps can't be 50/50 all the time and still be innovative and fun to watch.


Sure, that's why we need to try.

I would hope for less balance whine, more map whine plz.

ick, the whine about atlantis and metropolis was pretty bad haha


That's still better than recent balance whine. Because it can be easily changed, people will believe they have a chance with another map, not another race. Better for esports.

YES! Get rid of this 3 base before a unit bullshit into 20 minute macro into 1 fight.

I feel like porting BW maps to SC2 is a mistake. There's more rules you have to consider when designing a SC2 map.

I can actually see this working really good! Might shift the metagame from 3-base macro every single game aswell :-)

Holy crap I've just got to say that I am so happy happy happy HAPPY that KeSPA is doing this.

They are willing to take it further and fuck up the current state of the game to provide for a better game longterm. Gogogogo KeSPA! Fuck up the current state of the game!

what's funny is historically there's not very many actually 50/50/50 balanced maps in kespa history, at least not in more recent years. They've had some pretty biased maps but that was part of the strategy of proleague and/or the tournaments, knowing how to abuse your team/players against others, and forcing map wins to come unexpectedly. So all of this searching of 'perfectly balanced maps', seem kind of counter intuitive coming from a pretty proleague heavy loved community.

Seeing these maps being played will tell us how important those rules actually are. I'm glad they are trying to mix things up.

Gaema and BiFrost were always two of my favorite maps in bw, even if not always the most balanced.

I feel like increasing the number of maps that players are required to play will decrease the overall quality of games. 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.


Hmmm, I think it would have the opposite effect. Think about it in the most simple terms...shouldn't more maps equal more map-specific builds? We're not talking about adding hundreds of maps here right? A few more maps here and there will create more diverse thinking/strategy and subsequently better games.

Can't believe there are so many enthusiasts... You guys realize it's Kespa ?... I don't want any shit from them no more. Enough is enough.
