Garbage maps. Blizzard should just give up and let the Koreans handle it.

Well I know that I am getting here a little late but does anyone have any suggestions for which maps I should veto as a toss player besides condemned ridge now that tal darim and shakuras are gone?

Everyone should really just veto both of the new maps. They're literally shit.

Newkirk: will be a split map 200 v 200 turtle fest, or people will all in early to avoid it which will make for pretty uninteresting game play. If anything it's a downgrade from shakuras which at least had 'a way' to avoid the middle choke. Not that shakuras wasn't antiquated, just that this map isn't a suitable replacement.
Akilon: My biggest complaint would be it's uninteresting and drab. The 'two choices for a third' promotion they gave it will likely not live up to it, one or the other base will become 'the' choice for various reasons. Will have to see how it plays out it's 'better' mildly then tal, possibly better then shak, but if it is at all it's not by much.
Overall with so many other more competitive more interesting maps coming out of the leagues it's just hard to fathom why blizzard insists on trying to create their own in house maps. As it was put already a non blizzard ladder at least for competitive play is long overdue.
Have you played Newkirk before? The middles pretty damn big so it's hard to split the map.
I played my first ladder game on Newkirk earlier today. It lasted 2 hours.
Oddly I still like the map though... it's definitely very similar to Shakuras, but not quite as narrow (which was the main flaw of Shakuras).

Newkirk city is really good, and that desert map isn't too bad either. I'd much rather have these than maps like Arkanoid and Bifrost that's for damn sure.
But I guess it's the cool thing to do, hating on Blizzard maps that is no matter if they're really bad or not.

The desert map isnt actually that bad imo. Except the towers are quite ridiculous... don't really make much sense. The other map is just as bad as shakuras for protoss. I doubt any protoss are playing on that map unless they're all inning
