Well I think that protoss will have more success with turtling and go mass voidrays/colossus/tempest and a-move after 23 minutes. You get 4 bases for free and the third base does not seem hard to defend and protects the fourth if you manage to get it up. #Missed the ramp leading to blocked base, which just makes mass air play so much easier.
You probably want to expand to the bases under your main since your rally will run straight into your army and not facing it sideways. Besides it seem harder to push for the protoss.

On frost I can see 2-base colossus pushes be incredible hard to defend if you spawn vertical or horizontal. It has been ages since we seen those, maybe because of the wide open maps.

Polar night's layout reminds me of Destination without the back alley ramp
EDIT: nvm there is the backdoor ramp :D it just leads to the bottom of the main instead of straight into the main.

Also for those who didnt play BW: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Destination

I'll join the minority and say that Korhal Floating Island is an awesome map and sadly I must say that those who think that its impossible to wall on that map really need to start thinking in new ways.

A minor gripe, I played a few practise games on Yeonsu, the version thats available on EU-servers and the "rocky" terrain texture that is in the lower half of the map is somewhat confusing, at least on the first time. Might not be so after a few hundred games :D

Why not remove Whirlwind/derelict/akilon? These maps are SO bad .. I mean nobody can be enjoying those maps.
I dont undesrtant why remove newkirk/star station these are good maps viable in all matchups etc.

It's just a shame there's so many 2 player maps that'll end up playing really similarly. :/

Well, compared to all the other junk that players have had to live with for the past 3 years, I couldn't be happier. It's just, as I was made aware, there are so many potential problems with gameplay that can arise with 4P maps that it doesn't even seem worth it.

Psyched!

Not sure what you're smoking but Whirlwind has produced some of the best games in SC2 history. At least when it was considered still kinda new-ish.

I don't agree with that. As long as the map is evenly sized then other than a 6 pool which is a problem on 2 player maps anyway, there's very few issues. 4P maps are also a lot more interesting, although 3P are the best.

My only complaint is that some of the terrain is hard to differentiate, there needs to be more contrast on what is a ramp and what is not, etc.

sad panda


You should go for the smallest map in the map pool for the next contest. I'm talking steppes small.



Steppes small isn't that small. Try incineration zone small !


Just make them spawn in a shared base. 100% zerg winrate... Then nobody can say anymore that small maps are disfavored for zerg.


but terran would still win because the cc can fly

Derelict actually leads to somewhat interesting games due to the base layout. 4 bases isn't super easy and taking a fiffth is actually an effort which leads to a lot of contention over certain map positions. It's also a map which in the lategame isn't just super dominated by air like Akilon is for example due to the terrain.
