I wish the maps had star locations shown for easyness sake. Assuming I have the positions on Khalim's Will right, doesn't it suffer the same problem Jungle basin had only far worse because: - it also has a very defend-able natural - the main's expansion is on higher ground than the other side of the destructible rocks Unless something changed in the balance of SC2 with the patches and HotS, I don't see how that map got to the final and/or how would have any chance. You can read up on the map details in the analysis thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=416064 | ||

I guess one of the big problems with Jungle Basin was that the 3rd base was really hard for zerg to defend, making them lose, and that that issue would exist here. Nonetheless, I'm not much of a fan of a map that so explicitly condones 3 base macro games with virtually no other option. ________________________ I think that I like Yeonsu the most. I'm not a fan of it's very small natural and reasonably large travel distance from main to natural though. Maybe it's my perception; seems the same way with Keru as well. | ||

In some ways, the natural is more easily defend-able. In other ways, it's not. For example, Icarus is a map with a similar main/natural layout that promotes aggressive play. Both third bases also have their unique vulnerabilities as is written about in the write-up. I'm not sure what kind of imbalance you're referring to. | ||

I'd have preferred some points system like 3-2-1 for first, second and third, or 6-3-1, that sort of thing. Ah well. For me personally though, this might be harder to choose now, with only one to select. | ||

I tried being objective about it despite my map being probably higher than it should be... if it helps...  (4) Crux Frost (4) TPW Electric Circuit (4) TPW Strangewood Mire (2) DF Yeonsu (2) ESV Ravage (2) ESV Insidious (2) TPW Keru* (4) TPW Koprulu (2) TPW Khalim's Will Keru is only so low on the ranking because I would have liked to seen more games on a lowground main (with adjustments) and I believe that WOULD have shaken up the metagame as blizzard wanted. Though I haven't voted yet because I really want to vote right.. | ||
