LOL Akilon Flats. What a shit decision. Absolutely the worst map they've put in in a while. The mixed minerals are pretty dumb imo. Guess we'll see if it yields anything interesting or turns out to just be a normal expand with a little bit of extra love.

What's up with the rocks and the gold minerals? I thought GSL stopped that stuff.

I would have really liked if they had KESPA Neo Bifrost in the map pool, that map has really grown on me.

Its about time GOM brought back timed destructive watch towers. They only did that for one map, I can't remember which.

Xel'naga fortress had a timed one.

ICCUP Testbug had a destroyable one.

I much prefer the zerg and protoss play on Neo Bifrost to their play on Neo Planet S, but the Terran play is better on Neo Planet S.

I am very glad that they removed Abyssal City, one of the worst maps for Protoss and Terran (to a certain extent) against Zerg and Antiga, which was a 2-base fest for the toss. But it sucks for Terran because it has a lost a good map for them. And Entombed Valley was a guaranteed Protoss win because of the easy to secure third base.

I'm really liking this! ^^

A lot of changes. It's...interesting. We'll just have to wait until they actually get played to see.

Does anyone now if it's imbalanced ?

It was EXTREMELY imbalanced for Toss and Terran against Zerg. The third was very hard to defend for P/T. But I am going to miss the floating death animation!
