Dustin Browder is like:"oh~no~ Our game's graphics has esport-level clarity. I actually did a lecture on that on GDC."
Creep colour change is infact a part of HOTS.

Is there a statement to why Ohana has been removed? I want it removed. To find the reasoning behind the removal would be cool.

lol they must have realized how stupidly imba caldeum was for pvz early game from that JYP ace game. now they're burning all evidence of their mistakes too
|
Akilon looks like such a protoss favoured map. Two easily defendable chokes with forcefield on nat and third. narrowish map. ugh
|
Ohana was the most boring map ever and a won won won fest PvZ, good riddance.
Always been a fan of Akilon as the one good beta map. Good changes.

stork defended that backdoor ling harassment with some half-decent FFs. It's just JYP imo
Weak rock/building do give zerg some advantage early game but not to the degree of "stupidly imba" lol

Did Tal' Darim get removed already?

Every Zerg 10 pools on Caldeum, often with great success. It's extremely hard to defend 3 entrances into your natural as a Protoss. I'm glad they're fixing it.

Didnt Life 10/11pool in 99% of his games during his dominance? This map worked for that style so why not? you want hatch first every game?
I mean, Im not saying Neo Caldeum didnt favor aggressive zerg a bit, but just "a bit". It's not terrible to see toss uses some more skills rather than safely expanding and building up deathball. And fyi ZvP is 4-3 on Neo Caldeum

A very underrated change would be changing the unit names all to english, even as a korean, it feels awkward when the commentators are going GUH SHIN GUH SHINN. When it would be so much more exciting if they were screaming COLOSSEUS COLOSSEUS,, and calling haebyungs marines again.
Seriously...a portion that made the commentary legenady was the korean pronouciation of the english unit names, Just can picture the epicness in them marking out on a burrowed baneling hit

nice changes to caldeum  zerg early pools against protoss were stupid good.

:O thank you for the information!

arkanoid is still a coinflip map but these changes are looking very good. Definitely moving in the right direction.
