Thats a 4th base at best and highly abusable from the lowground, aswell as 3 Daedalus ramps leading to it. Probably upset he can't freely take it as natural like on Habitation then. | ||

Disappointed that Alterzim is still in, however I'm happy with Frost and Habitation and extremely excited for the new additions bar King Sejong. I have a strong feeling King Sejong station will lead to very long and very boring PvZ games. Good thing I play terran. | ||

Also Merry-go-round is on EU under the name "Crux Merry-go-round". The other maps are uploaded to Korea and NA already but not to EU yet T.T | ||

Merry go round seems very interesting as the thirds are very open and the difference between expanding aggresive or defensive will feel a lot like Yeonsu Overgrowth is really a no-brainer. Think taking thirds and basetrade scenario's will be horrific because the amount of pathways from base to base... I disapprove Waystation because the instability of your spawning positions and the flying bases can really screw up races who can't fly bases... Also, it is yet another very strong blinkplay map if you spawn close positions (2/8clock). Critical note. We went from 2 4player maps and 5 2player maps to 3 4player maps, 1 3player map and 3 2player maps. Not really sure if I totally agree on that. Sad to see Heavy Rain get removed so early, map has not been played to its full potential yet by rocks in the middlepathway and rocks on the sides. Sad to see Polar Night get removed so early, haven't seen enough backdoor bases yet. For me the ladderpool should have been Alterzim Stronghold TE Frost LE Habitation Station LE King Sejong Station LE Merry Go Round LE Polar Night Heavy Rain | ||

Firstly, I think we may consider Waystation a 2 player map, given you are always spawning accross from each other, like Korhal Floating Island IIRC. AS for Heavy Rain, it probably was too problematic in both Blink vs Terran and Swarmhost vs Protoss to try to fix it. It caused really bad games in 2/6 matchups without being paticularly exciting in other matchups. Polar Night served 3 seasons, and given half the map pool changed, it has had it's time. It isn't -that- good of a map. Still sad about Alterzim. Out Boxer is way better! | ||

Also, all new maps are just big fuck u to protoss players, with 3rd layouts. Well I'm an protoss myself so maybe I wear dark glasses, but anything I can see here is comeback of 2base allins. Mark my words. Protoss will be the weakest race at the end of season 2. Blizzard should really let the community map makers do the job for them. Offer some prizes, give support and voilà - you have the best map pool ever. mines weren't buffed (for) vs blink... | ||

Possibly Merry too, but I'm not sure about the distance. | ||

Please no more Daedalus please. Love Sejong and Overgrowth. Think Merry-go-round should produce some great games. I could do without the snooze fest brewing in Waystation. | ||
