And then an impossible to take 4th after that.

Aside from small problems like that, I LOVE how experimental KeSPA's getting with their maps, this is exactly what SC2 needs to keep evolving and becoming better. Right now Face Off and FS look the most interesting, especially with the gold mineral thing on FS which reminds me a lot of Barrin's fewer resources per base idea.

Managed to chat with the author of KESPA Fighting Spirit. Communication issues, but I did tell him to really look into the map's resources, as it is really wacky right now. I hope he could understand me well enough.

Apparently: "we application it to FitingSpirit & Andromeda but Andromeda was dismissal" XD

I really want it to be included! Andromeda would be nice, too.

I played with purakushi

FS Gold minerals were just too much. It's not going to do anything for the competitive evolution of hots.

Artemis is not pretty enough for that name.
Face Off must be cross-only, surely. It looks like a nightmare that might be fun to watch but not to play on (if you're faint-of-heart when playing these days).
Better FS than Python, I agree. Please don't let Python return, especially when we had not only Lost Temple but also Shattered Temple.
Now this on the other hand... ^_^" (joking)

Colosseum, while not my favourite, deserved a return for certain.
I can't even find the natural or third on Sanctuary! *Seeking new picture*

Artemis really doesn't feel very good. Really seems like the map maker wants to encourage 2 base play.

Pretty straight forward maps from the looks of it.

That's extremely cute. Andromeda would be awesome.

LS and Jacky are both prime clan mapmakers, haha. they're employed by kespa, but their creativity and skill isn't kespa's own

But kespa lets them to be much more creative than any other organization or tournament. I am very looking forward to the changes that fighting spirit will bring.

LOL! Yeah, Monty Hall would be amazing to have back in a form that didn't use destructible rocks instead of minerals to slip through. If there were a mechanism to mimic the mineral tricks or similar pathing, it'd be great.
Desire for Andromeda seconded (or more).

Yes, that's all gold bases on Fighting Spirit... I know how lunatic that sounds.

I see what you did there.

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?!

Disfavors Toss the most. Especially if there is just 1 rich vespin. Terran and Zerg are more then fine and it is quiet funny.

I'd argue that, especially in PvT since the majority of toss' army in PvT is both zealots and other mineral heavy gateway units.

All the golds do is mean you can have less mineral patches and the income is much closer to Broodwars level meaning bases are more important.

I actually really really like them, can't help but feel Toss will be trash on the All-Gold Map but it's gonna be interesting!

Zerg is really, really strong on the current KESPA FS. Just expand like crazy. That setup of resources has already been tried in mods, and it is ridiculous. It is not even close.
