Seems pretty good. I bet you can have zerglings/rines/zealots against 6 pool with those builds in time. | ||

This displays all the usual problems with blizzard map design and execution. Why are there no plates on the inbase ramp? I guess zerg is supposed to expand outside first so as not to get cannon rushed? Why make a rotational map if your explicit goal is positional balance? Try to make 4 spawn enabled map, ends up huge with 20 bases. Noobest of mapmaking results. I just don't ever understand what they are trying to achieve, or how they manage to miss the mark all the same. | ||

There are obvious problem (one army pos to defend 5 bases, no plates in the inbase...) but I really want to see games on this map. | ||

I already in general don't like 4p maps considering the importance of the random number generator: where scouting purely depends on pre-determined luck, but this one is ridiculous. A free natural, easiest to defend third ever. | ||

I also don't get how this is popular in the poll.

A free natural, easiest to defend third ever. It's popular because people don't realise how large the map is. | ||
