I really like the look of Zerus Prime in terms of the lava and trees. Although seems like a really strong zerg map. Overall nice to have a change, only thing I would have wanted is Star Station being removed too. | ||

Anyone know how wide the bridge on Klontas is exactly? Looks 2 depots wide in the ends and 1 depot wide in the middle, but I'm not sure. | ||

Daybreak was great because it lent itself both to 2-base play and more long-term macro games, especially now in HotS (so far). That it's been axed and replaced with macro-oriented maps and Scrap Station Mk. 2 is kinda depressing. | ||

Daybreak also creates the most boring split-map turtle games in existence, just go check out Hasuobs' winning games in WCS EU against Bly and Happy. Most people are just tired of that map anyway, time to move on. | ||

Is certainly looks prone to split map scenarios. Imagine planetaries, WM, and sieges at the middle. But since it's bigger, I bet nydus will be stronger than on Shakuras, and skytoss should be able to break it. | ||

Personally I think Star Station is not that bad. The only problem is IMO that there are 4 watch towers and too few paths that can not be seen. | ||

If you rally your first built probe it is a 9 pylon. The natural is 8 tiles wide so can be fully walled by a pylon and 2 gateways. You can even place the pylon against a wall so that it has less surface area for drones to hit. I am not sure how viable this will actually be against a player who pulls enough drones, but if the zerg does not pull drones before the gateways are started it could be amusing. Edit, 8 pylon starts the second gateway at 1:45, 9 or 10 pylon at 1:50. 10 pylon gate gate seems the best way as you also have the least wait time between starting the pylon and the second gate (less time for them to pull drones). If you prefer you can wall it to the bottom of the ramp instead, but i dont see why you would do this. Considering how close the bases are I think they should make the natural choke one space wider to prevent this. You have to remember that it is also a good 7 pool map. If both players cheese the Z will win. | ||

Klontas Mire TE reminds me way too much of Scrap Station. *shudder* But hey... it's HotS... so who knows, I guess... | ||
