Speaking of GSL they haven't announced their map pool yet. I hope their will do an important amount of changes because the last one was pretty bad (icarus ftw). Also map pool related : Blizzard said a while ago that they were going to work hard to keep the map pool decent on the ladder, any news of this ?

This is a step toward FRB maps becoming the norm which I think is the best chance SC2 has at becoming a better game. It could also be a step backward if it turns out to be horrible for the game ^^ | ||

Unless they like the idea of having a conpletely different playstyle and metagame just for that map. Was match point supposed to be the map daybreak is based off of or was it a different map? I thought I remembered reading that when the map first came out | ||

It's got nothing to do with terrain whatsoever. Zerg and terran are more mineral heavy in overall gameplay, that's all there is to it. Protoss needs super gas heavy units to win a game whereas zerg and terran have a great mineral dump in marines (which T always wants anyway) and zerglings (which, with gold bases, are essentially free). You'll almost never see a protoss starved for minerals but they will be starved for gas. That's why gold bases favor zerg and terran more than they do protoss. I'm not a heavy anti fan of gold bases on maps where they're hard to defend but an all gold map can never ever ever be balanced. But that's not what it's aiming for, it's aiming to be something new and offer new strategies and gameplay. I'm just looking forward to zerg figuring out how much faster they can 6pool (and how many more lings they can produce) with their fancy gold main bases >_> | ||

Edit : It could also be a step backward if it turns out to be horrible for the game ^^ I doubt Blizzard can be anywhere near as fast as Kespa. A Proleague round finishes after every team has played every other team once. Kespa has shown that it is willing to change some maps after every round. Some very problematic maps have even been removed mid-round. | ||

Speaking of which, we need a Demon's Forest port one of these days. | ||

I did message the author to tell him about that (and how the economy would be even worse than what we have in SC2 now). I hope he could understand what I said well enough. Is there anyone good enough at Korean and English who would be willing to translate a short letter explaining FRB? We can send it to KESPA/GOM. | ||

This is because probes and scvs just take time, not larvae, and by the looks of it (correct me if I'm wrong, there is fewer patches to saturate which means zerg can spend that extra larvae on units. I think it slightly favors Zerg, but what is most important is that it just completely shafts Protoss :D | ||
