It is whacky. Less than others Kespa has made, but whacky. | ||

All the above is of course if they decide to not add rich vespene geysers to the main bases. | ||

You'll have more minerals than normal, but the gas amount will remain the same. So as protoss or zerg, you'll just have to double expand to get rid of the mineral overflow (or make a ton of lings/zealots, but of course we all know that this would be a stupid thing to do in all match ups), where terran can either bunker rush/marine rush or also double expand. My point is that there are more viable options for terran on this map, than for the other 2 races. BAD. All the above is of course if they decide to not add rich vespene geysers to the main bases. All geysers on Fighting Spirit are rich vespene geysers. | ||

Ah, yes. Was about to edit that into my post. The Fighting Spirit rich geysers are modded to return 8 gas per trip, as opposed to the 4 gas for normal geysers or 6 gas for the original rich geysers. | ||

Even if the gold minerals don't work I really hope they add the map with a normal mineral layout. I love Fighting Spirit so damn much. Have you tried going for mass extra supplies? I remember that BaBy I think was experimenting using his OC energy on those instead of mules and it really changed up everything. I would love if the creativity of the KeSPA players would bring underused mechanics such as this, and contaminate into mass use. Because I think, from a viewer's point of view contaminating a robo seconds before the crucial unit comes out is really tense and good to watch. And well, extra supply would just leave to fun strats probably where you can save 5-600 minerals for 2 extra raxes - also makes drops destroying supply depots that much more valuable. | ||

Extra supply also means you get 16 supply for 100 minerals, so you don't need to spend the minerals and those minerals would actually be not on the map to begin with. A very good Terran would also use extra supplies with 3 OCs on 2 base, when he cannot take his 3rd yet, because he doesn't really want to mule and mine out his 2 bases faster. | ||

They won't introduce whacky Kespa maps to the ladder certainly. *Looks at Blizzard's maps.* You mean to tell me their maps aren't whacky? -.^ In either case, it's rare that they change the map pool and even rarer to see maps not from them make it, but certainly we'll see a few more creep in there sooner rather than later. Also a lot of these maps aren't that new as they are ported hallmarks trying a few different things. | ||

Personally, I like the early/mid game, so I think 3 and 3 would be good, or at least 4 gold and 2 blue. Oh well, we'll see. I hope this map gets used, with its non-standard resources. | ||

Also since they start out with 3 larvae instead of 1... even slightly bigger boost early game?! I think Terran, because of Mules Imagine the money | ||
