so just 1 season into hots where blizzard wanted to adapt mappools of pro tournaments they decide to add 3 random blizzard maps instead of the plethora of new map in gsl and proleague

very disappointed to say the least

Klontas Mire TE is the worst map ever, I've played 2 maps and I already veto it. .___.

Played a mech vs z yesterday on Derelict watcher. I really love the expansion layout.

Klontas Mire TE, this is going to be an interesting map for however long it's around. Had a guy who moved his entire production and expansion to the bottom of the map and waited until I hit what thought was his main to attack mine. Granted I should have realized the second I saw he never expanded as I moved my army to get back home but well, lesson learned.

But I wonder if this will be a common tactic people will use due to that lil bridge connecting the areas.

Idk why people downvote the one interesting map in the current pool. Every other map with the exception of Belshir and maybe Neo Planet S are almost the same.

Does anyone actually try to play a standard game on Klontas Mire? I'm considering keeping the map in the rotation so I have an excuse to cheese once in a while.

Every map

Seriously this is a terrible map pool for Zerg.

I'm not currently vetoing any.

Compared to the shit we had to put up with in 2010-2011, this map pool is fantastic.

I really like "Zerus Prime", especially TvZ is fun on it! Would love to see it in some tournaments, it has a lot of potential imo.

Exactly my feeling. But everytime a map is not standard everyone hates on it since for their default strat they need to take an x-th expansion easily while it should be hard for the opponent to take their y-th expansion, so in the end all maps are very similar to meet those requirements.

Personally for most maps the only relevant differences for me are how large of an area I can use with reapers and where the mineral line is for drops.

There's nothing wrong with the Mire map. If anything, it gives you a reason to not use the same strategies over and over no matter what the map. It's fun to be able to play a map instead of just a race. I have yet to win on it, but I'm still trying!

For example,because of the new reaper, Thorzain's old TvT mass marine build no longer works except on Whirlwind. It's nice to be able to do a different build on Whirlwind than on other maps.

Also this map is the best in terms of aesthetic and design. Lava, jungles, simple terrain, good lighting, nice unpassable zones (jungles and lava or both)
