- The fourth on that side now has a little bit more air space towards the 6th, which should make it more defendable.
- The fourth near the natural was moved back and decreased in size. This makes it actually possible to take the 6th without being in firing range from the opponent's high ground 4th and vice versa the 4th is more defendable due to added air space and distance.
- The further away ramps down to the center were moved a bit towards the main base, are wider and have no more rocks.
- The center area now has some extra dead space, making it more narrow and presumably preventing colossus from walking up anywhere but the ramps.
- Creep tumors on islands were removed.
Edit: Overall, the changes to the 4th bases seem like a targeted nerf towards Terran siege pushes, so maybe we will see less mech on this map.

My first reactions;
I can't for the life of me think of the change on Out Boxer,
MGR, Fine, I like the map and so do the Code A pro's.
Maze, yay for destructable rocks?
Wait, it looks like there's a large ramp into the main blocked by rocks. I do like that :D!
|
MRG really getting some love.
|
The new map looks unusual, that is a good thing imho. Always the same playstyle gets boring  Hoping to see some entertaining games on the new map
|
I think the change on Out Boxer is no neutral creep tumors on the islands?
Maze looks really wierd, can't wait to see games on it!

That actually might be it :-)! Thanks!

I really like these changes. MGR is a cool map, and Maze seems interesting. Like Arkanoid, but less extreme. Should be a lot of fun.
The only alteration I can think of for Outboxer is the removal of creep on the island bases? They might not even show on the map picture anyway, though.
|
I can't think of a reason to remove those tumors... They had served a purpose in the first place.
|
Wow, it's like they read my mind :D (or my post in the feedback thread perhaps..)
So happy Yeonsu/Polar are out. ffs it took awhile.
We're even getting something arkanoid-esque. I loved that map even though it didn't exactly strike me as balanced (which is fine for proleague format).
|
Oh cool, Maze looks like fun D:
I won't miss immortal all-ins on Yeonsu either.
|
I guess forcefields might be somewhat useful in the maze of doom.
|
Arkanoid v2!
Hoping to see some more unorthodox games on it.
|
Maze might be amazing mech tvt heaven or a terrible mess.

Haha, Maze, seriously. Arkanoid remnants 
|
Haha, Maze looks so ProLeague, very crazy.
|
wow, I really like maze!! it's sooooo cool!!
I don't think they should have changed that to outboxer, but well, w/e.
The only thing I can think right now is in maze, I like it so much.

There are actually a lot of small changes to Outboxer.
- The main base was decreased in size. As a result, the third base has a bit more open space around it.
- The sixth base was moved back/outwards a bit. Now there is at least some space between the CC/Nexus/Hatch and the rocks on the pathway.
- The fourth on that side now has a little bit more air space towards the 6th, which should make it more defendable.
- The fourth near the natural was moved back and decreased in size. This makes it actually possible to take the 6th without being in firing range from the opponent's high ground 4th and vice versa the 4th is more defendable due to added air space and distance.
- The further away ramps down to the center were moved a bit towards the main base, are wider and have no more rocks.
- The center area now has some extra dead space, making it more narrow and presumably preventing colossus from walking up anywhere but the ramps.
- Creep tumors on islands were removed.
Edit: Overall, the changes to the 4th bases seem like a targeted nerf towards Terran siege pushes, so maybe we will see less mech on this map. I could be totally wrong though.
