Nice to see the XelNaga Towers time out on Flats. Seems like a good idea. | ||

Doesn't seem to bad of an idea to me to be honest. Their vision is really important in the early game but later on becomes less and less crucial. It pretty much requires you to work a lot harder to gain vision (e.g. for tanks). I like the idea because it requires more map presence and activity (or so I hope). | ||

I think that's a great change. Reduces cheese, but doesn't reward lazy play. | ||

I can't wait to see who does a better job microing their workers onto the gold minerals on Icarus, though. I'm having flashbacks to Kulas Extreme. I did really like Icarus when I first saw it and I'm glad it was picked up by GSL. Seems like a cool map to try... not too wonky but not completely orthodox either. Well, maybe it's pretty wonky... But I like it, anyway. Might watch more of this season than the previous, if I can find the time. In my opinion golds have been fine since the mule change a year ago. I'm sure plenty will disagree with me but once everyone could make use of gold equally I don't think there was a problem. We saw that in MLG for a while, they kept gold on Antiga (which is funny because it's a bad map for gold. He who holds the middle already has an advantage on that map. And yet still saw the same racial balances as Antiga without gold. I'm glad Kespa wasn't afraid to mess around with gold minerals. | ||

I would be ok with removing them from the game completely to be honest, when i think about it i actually would like that very much (im zerg so i got free scouts with speedlings all game long anyways, not to mention placing out overlords with speed on key locations). This is nothing new though. This has been around in some tournament maps such as Testbug for almost 2 years. | ||

If your concern is ladder and tournament maps being too different than removing towers isnt going to change that because blizzard isnt going to remove towers from ladder maps anytime soon. | ||
