WTF Altezim is still in the map pool ? I prefered old Daedalus to Altezim, very sad. I would also have liked to see Outboxer in the map pool but I like all the new maps, especially Merry go round, I also kinda like Waystation.

I actually think they're not that great for Blink. The key thing is that the path the Stalkers have to take when they Blink out is longer than the route the bio has to take to defend the other attack location.

I just compared the pictures, the "merry go round" they plan to release is an outdated version.
Edit: You can see difference in textures and the ramp angle of the bottom left *inner* high ground pod.
An Esports fan, playing SC2 and LoL because they are fun. Huge fan of mapmaking, Cloud Kingdom = best map ever made EVER.

Will this be the second season for Alterzim to be in the map pool? I don't think Blizzard should remove it yet, because historically it's always been good to have one larger map (Whirlwind) for gameplay diversity purposes, and there are more pressing ocncerns to deal with and Blizzard can't replace all maps. I'd rather want Yeonsu and Daedalus gone.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Am I the only one here that dont like any of them? They removed all of the short distance ones, and came with a lot of bigger ones with hard to take 3º bases and with a weirdo layout.

Overgrowth and Merry-Go-Round both have interesting features (mid-map gold/odd number of spawn locations) that intrigue me. But I do have to say that they both have one small thing that annoys me greatly on a superficial level: Their names and tilesets don't match up at ALL.

As for the maps cut, they were the smart choices. Polar Night, while interesting, has been around for a while, and every other map had a tendency to favor one race in particular (Zerg for Daedalus, Protoss for Yeonsu and Heavy Rain).

C'mon, every time I heard someone talk about Heavy Rain I instinctively yelled out "JASON!".

I loled so hard when I read this. glad I am not alone on this one :D

Kinda wish they would have kept Heavy Rain and gotten rid of Alterzim

Alterzim should really go... it doesn't make for very interesting games at all and seems a bit too strong for Zerg in ZvP

I guess terrans will get a free non-vulnerable third base in half their games in Waystation, where mules can rain with no worry. :/

imo, people need to reserve judgments on 3-p maps until we get some play time on them. Some of the greatest BW maps of all time were 3-player maps.

Yeah, taking a second look only King Sejong and potentially Merry Go Round are going to be good for blink, Overgrowth it will be pretty much impossible and Way Station very risky (maybe strong in close positions though). They all look like pretty bad reaper maps though, might start experimenting with some different openings.

edit: That being said I like all the maps but Way Station at first glance, I feel like close position Way Station TvZ is going to be really weird.

You realize that's a map where Korean terran lost to carriers, right?

I just tested a quick 3rd CC (with lift to island) on Waystation. I think you can get really fast and really save 3 bases if you spawn top right - bottom left as Terran (against Zerg).
Just ahead of time, know your addiction's not a crime. It's just a smaller part of who you want to become in the end.

Looks like they at least addressed blink with the new maps.

Overgrowth might end up being too good for passive playstyles too, SH vs Mech / Toss gives the defender high ground advantage at 5 of 6 bases on their side of the map, and every attack path into those 5 bases is a choke. Might be able to deny mining at the gold and secure the base behind it? Guess we'll have to see how it plays out.
