Omg those comments about the rocks on Whirlwind are hilarious. Someone posts how its Taldarim LE now, next one corrects him. Post immediately after complains again. The OP should better update it haha.
Still wonder how it is possible to think there are rocks blocking a hatch from going down, when it is stated in the next line that it is expected people take a fast 3rd now because of the rocks.


Right? And it still goes on. People just can't read apparently.

Is it just me but on Icarus your natural has 2 patches of high yield minerals?

No, I see them too

Very nice addition! I am actually surprised that this is the first map I see this on. This actually might add some spice to the early game.

I think all present maps should have 1-2 gold patches in their main, just to see how this would change the game

Thank Flash for the temporary Xel'naga towers. Sounds like a great idea.

Finally Abyssal and Antiga are gone...what shitty maps.

When I saw Bel'Shir Vestige at first I thought it was Bel'Shit Beach. Was about to lose my mind.

Love GSL

Love the new maps/changes !!

With one exception of Entombed Valley.. I always thought very good games were created on that map.. oh well

Great overall.. GSL is without a doubt the best SC2 / E-Sports show ever made... Very high quality, very professional with great casters and exceptional game directing (Legend)...

Really want to underline how big of an impact the game directing has.. Huge shoutout to Legend who is a grandmaster observer and truly a legend in my eyes.. thank you

Since destructible rocks have been added, it is expected that players will take a quick 2nd expansions followed by aggressive play.


Why would they add a suggestion to the new maps announcement? Seems a bit silly

Loving Neo Planet and Icarus; do all Kespa maps run without watchtowers? Icarus terrain just seems fun mid to late game.
If we fear what we do not understand, then why is ignorance bliss?

Really not a fan of Daybreak still in the pool. Others are cool, though.

"The tower at the fast expansion where overlords can hide has been removed."

Wow, I have been waiting for maps to start doing this ever since the queen/overlord buff. Everyone complained that now queens are excellent all-around defense, so zergs could have a non-risky build if they wanted, then zerg also got even better scouting with fast overlords. And yet, maps like cloud kingdom STILL have towers outside of the natural so you can't even leave your base without zerg knowing. I'm so excited for these sort of changes to start happening. If zerg is dominating the scene, then start removing aspects of maps that only zerg are able to use.

To explain themselves & their intentions with the change most likely.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

did nobody else notice that there are freaking rocks at the 3rd of whirlwind and belshir? lol wtf is this


Yeah i have concerns about this as well. With Protoss being able to safely FE due to the distance, and now Z's 3rd is really is really delayed. I don't see this is as the right way to balance Whirlwind or Vestige.

Love this new map pool change, only questionable map I personally don't like it Alkion Flats. But should be a pretty good season to kick off the year.

I have mixed feelings about the tiny gold spots.
To me this basically say hey call down your mules here. On the other hand i feel like allowing players to collect money slightly faster in the early game, could move the game along more quickly so i like it in that aspect.

Whirlwind, "Destructible rocks have been added to both second expansions."

Bad, no one has been wanting more rocks.
