I like how the new map is nice and open, but I have no idea how on earth I'm supposed to scout for anything...

You can go 3 hatch before pool on this one. Every game. Yes, it is THAT big.

Mech will need like half an hour to get to enemy on cross spawns.

Actually scouting worker/overlord would get to base way after pool is complete.

And then Zerg instantly remaxes and puts a Nydus in the Terran's main. Big map? No problem! Or if you're Protoss, Instant Zealot Remax!

I opened it up in the editor and checked. I do that for every Blizzard map, but this one looked really fucking big, so I couldn't wait lol.

Hey, on this map nydus can be pretty good. Especially considering amount of time i may take for terran to get to his own natural :D

It is like overly big. Especially considering that 4th base location is BAD.

At least it's not a map that should have 3 hour games ^^ It could be like the new CBTS though. Maybe we'll see some interesting tech rushes

Alterzim Stronghold (we’re pronouncing it ‘ahl-ter-zeem’) is a four-player map, designed with the specific goal in mind that all combinations of 1v1 spawn locations are viable and don’t offer an advantage to any one player.


that's not how four player maps work unless you're breaking the laws of timespace


Hilarious! What they probably meant to say is that it has rotational symmetry. And a 4 player map could work that way, but would look quite boring.

Yeah looks like it won't just split in two like Akilon. Interesting tech? Maybe (hopefully) we'll see mech!
