3/29/2013 Update: It seems that some of the maps have been made official. They've all been updated, but I don't have a list of detailed changes, so I included some comparison GIF's. KeSPA will probably announce the R4 map pool soon.
Artemis and Colosseum have been removed.
Newkirk Redevelopment Precinct has been added.

I'm guessing they're the candidates being tested for round 4 of proleague.

Golden Spirit is...lol?. I guess it could be...interesting?
That and, do you just not get a 3rd base on Artemis?
Never mind, I see the "third". Was just hard to see in the picture.
|
All gold :o. Which race would that favor...? Zerg as they can pump out drones faster as they are then limited by larvae instead of minerals? :o. Also since they start out with 3 larvae instead of 1... even slightly bigger boost early game?!

Fighting Spirit with all gold looks nuts. Interesting idea though.
Third to main distance on Face Off looks painful. Speedyvacs gonna love that one.
Artemis has... no third? Or am I blind?
I like Colosseum's layout but high ground expansions into main might be problematic.
|
They look fun, but fighting spirit seems iffy. I am guessing they want fast hyper-aggression on fighting spirit, but.... well gold mineral patches ><

Dunno it's hard to say as marines man  . That is interesting.
Not a big fan of some, but fighting spirit was my favorite bw map :D.

all gold = probably shouldn't mule on then.

Please let fighting spirit pass. I'd love to see games on that again and see how well the balance transfers from broodwar

oh shit they're going for 6min 1gas all high yield.......hope this doesn't butcher the most balanced map ever.
|
Face Off looks fun if you're a Terran. The dropping potential is crazy.
|
Don't the gold bases on FS only have 4-6 mineral patches though?
|
woa faceoff
where is the spawn location.
|
Is Face Off a forced cross-spawn, two-maps-in-one type thing? The spawns are entirely different, if it's not forced cross the cries of "Positional imbalance!" will never stop...
|
They all look really interesting. Especially fighting spirit and Face off. All look like the thirds could be hard to secure though?
|
Everything beyond nat on Artemis is gold it seems
And yowza Face Off can be played in two completely different ways it seems. It looks like a remix of that 3-player test map with 2-way ramp feature

Kespa really isn't afraid to pull out the insane maps huh.

The close cross spawn on Face Off looks crazy. Is that back section usable? Siege tanks on it will be painful. If not, then I assume reapers can jump through because otherwise it would have been empty space.
It reminds me of Blistering Sands o_o
|
I'm curious to see what happens on Fighting Spirit with all golds. That completely changes the game.
