Why are people saying Ravage is normal? The third looks rather open, can be attacked from two obvious sides (potentially three) and there are quite a lot of ramps, really. | ||

But then I look at how safe 3 bases are on Electric. No thanks. Strangewood Mire is not much better. Sad. Good god the only map I really like is Ravage. And its like Ohana all over again. I'll vote for it but next time I expect something more revolutionary Ironman! | ||

(4) TPW Strangewood Mire (4) TPW Electric Circuit (2) DF Yeonsu (2) ESV Insidious (2) ESV Ravage (4) Crux Frost (2)TPW Keru (2)TPW Khalim's Will (4)TPW Koprulu I believe Strangewood Mire should win mainly because it's the only 4 player map of the bunch that would actually work well with all positions. I feel Frost and Koprulu won't work as well in close positions. Even Electric Circuit won't be that great in close positions depending on the spawn, but I think EC is unique enough, yet standard enough to still produce interesting games. Strangewood Mire has multiple different rush distances depending on the spawn which means there is so much variety in the map. No matter where you spawn you will have an option to take a 3rd. All different types of play will be viable. 1-2 base all-ins, mutas, brood lords, mech, skytoss, everything. Electronic Circuit should be 2nd place because the way the first three bases are set up make it quite a unique layout, yet it can still be played standard. With the backdoor rocks though it really opens up some very strong all-ins, mainly from protoss, which forces the defending player to try his hardest to keep the rocks from going down. To me, I see this map similar to Terminus in that I believe it will be quite hard to secure a 4th base (unless cross positions). But that shouldn't really downgrade it. Finally for me, it came down to Yeonsu, Insidious and Ravage as a battle for 3rd place. I think they are all great solid standard maps. The main reason why I choose Yeonsu over the others was that you'll most likely see macro games on the map beceause of the base layout and the watchtowers. Ladder is already filled with plenty of 1 or 2 base cheese games so having a 2 player macro map is nice. Insidious I would love much better if the middle was opened up more. I feel it might be a little too choked off and limited pathing through out the middle and with that it might be too hard for zerg to get surrenders or counter attack properly. Ravage, although very solid, I think is just way too similiar (main - 4th) to many other maps we've seen so I think it'd be nice to have something different. Ravage is also the opposite of Insidious for me, where I love the middle, yet don't care so much for the main-3rd. Either way, Strangewood needs to win. The variety this map will bring to the ladder would be amazing. Good job Samro / TPW.! | ||

Ravage, Sidious, Strangewood Mire, Crux Frost is a bit too generic gameplay wise, imo.Yeonsu could had been a good map if the rocks from natural to third were on the ramp closer to the middle, but it is not otherwise it would had been a clear number 1 for me, but sadly not so 4th place for me tied with electric circuit. | ||

First choice would had been Koprulu which seem interesting and you could see some really map specific plays and agression on that map which lead do a broader spectrum of strategy same goes for Keru. But fourth seem too hard to get on Keru but that is fine.

Shit man, because of one rock placement it drops from 1st to 4th? You're harsh lol. | ||
