Abyssal City had potential, make third a little easier and remove the damn water theme!
But glad to see 2 not very good maps for Protoss macro play go.
|
Daybreak and Cloud Kingdom... Lord, why do you do this to me.
|
noo, rocks got nerfed... we need a patch to fix that!!
|
Seems to be a really interesting map pool to me : ]
Can't wait to see them played. Especially Icarus.

Neo Planet S is a really cool map. There have been some amazing games on it on Proleague.
Too bad they didn't get rid of Daybreak.
I like the other changes they made to Bel'Shir Vestige and Whirlwind. The change to hide "overlord towers" at the natural is something that should happen on more maps since that often gives so much free important info to Zerg that the other races don't really have any way to get.
double edit: Apparently I misread.
Edit: Also 2 gold patches at the natural on that new map. What? That seems really cool though. The GSL map makers seem to be taking inspiration from the Kespa map makers and adding crazy to their maps, which is exactly what this game needs after a year of rather stagnant gameplay on maps that are all kinda too similar.
It definitely seems like they want to help the 5 Protoss out a bit.

wow this is awesome news 
|
No reason to take a free overlord scout away on one map but leave it on cloud kingdom and daybreak. Shit needs to go.
|
Two gold patches at the natural is kinda weird but I can dig it. Im curious how it will play out so I certainly want to see more of it.
It is a shame that Daybreak is still in the map pool but hopefully HotS will bring about the retirement of one of the great (albeit dated) WoL maps.

I wonder how it would play out since you cant repair a neutral supply depot so for example you cant go cc first at the top of the ramp I believe.

did nobody else notice that there are freaking rocks at the 3rd of whirlwind and belshir? lol wtf is this If you can't balance the game, balance the maps !
The Brood War approach.
That worked so this can as well
|
the new maps are very protoss favored, also since the 2 protoss maps got removed/reworked, the 5 protoss players are gonna go further than youd think
|
Thank god Antiga is gone, among other things. Good job, Gom

Then Wings of Liberty can end just as the Brood War did, with a Protoss victory =)

Can someone upload those to EU? I only found Neo Planet S 
|
These look like more balanced maps compared to the kespa ones

A terran victory for the end of Wings of Liberty would be better !

The changes on Icarus are quite bizarre. I think GSL is buying the FRB thing, let's see how it goes.
No easy third base. And the back base can give a mineral/gas income boost, but for a short amount of time since has less total resources. The extra income allows players get bigger and stronger armies faster and with less worker supply. But porbably it can't remake them since resources will run out.
At this point, there will be two options: Two base all-in or using this stronger army to get more bases. Let's see what will happen.

Ladder pool pls
Blizzard pls
I am fed up with LoL^^

lol, 2 gold mineral patch in the back expo on icarus just makes me laugh
