With the lack of maps and the same duration of season, its going to get boring vetoing 3 maps and playing on 4 for the next 2-3 months...

Additionally, rocks at the third base outright kill any kind of fast third build for P, without anything to compensate.

Finally, all that air space makes mutas and drops INSANELY strong, more so than even Star Station and Derelict Watcher (which is impressive)

Free 4th seems a good compensation to me and if being able to drop/harass is bad ..then it's game fault not map (well actually is toss design fault T_T, LoTv please save us!).

I've seen zergs vetoing this map (Polar) after 1 game just because "the nat ramp is so far from the main, fuxx this!".

If people is so scared by such minor differences well ..i'm seriously scared by their attitude :| .

Polar night seems like a hard map to play a macro game on for a toss.

I played a couple of pvts today(high M) and terrans abused the SHIT out of dropping and doing 2 pronged attacks early on. I almost never cheese or all in unless I have to and the 10min attack with a medivac or 2 in the main and a second attack in natural was hell. A terran managed to kill my natural nexus because the medivacs take shorter to return to army than my defending stalkers in main..
Also TWO ROCKS?! Not one but two freaking destructible rocks to take a third unless of course you want your third to be as "easy" as taking a gold base in wol.

PvZ is no cakewalk either.. Open third that can't be walled off if your life depended on it and big areas everywhere. Not to mention muta harass because the main and natural are so far apart and the airspace.

Curse my no veto policy! Might have to break that very soon.

Tip of the day: there is wallable 3rd on the side. But yep, mutas and drops on polar night will piss off everyone and his dad.

Yeah you're right but another thing is that the current meta in pvz is roach,hydra comps which means any good zerg can figure out that it takes a long time for a toss army to move between the natural and third, which inevitably means that a few roaches can brake that wall and slip in your third while your off fighting an army in natural.

I really dislike Yeonsu. So stressful, you have to worry about blink harassment, low ground, seige tanks and ling run-by's with 4 points of attack. If this map makes it into competitive tournament map pools I'll be very surprised.

Also I actually really like Polar Night, but it's just unwinable (for me) in PvZ only played 8 games vs Z on it but I lost 7 of them, that was enough for me to veto. Shame too cause I really enjoyed the PvT and PvP on that map.
