It's just the second to be revealed. And I don't think it is that surprising. It was a bad map, even for the time. People make fun of it. Metalopolis was a good map for the time. No surprise that people have positive feelings towards it. | ||

If the percentage that they give with each map is correct, then Metalopolis is indeed second place (unless the results were altered ofc) | ||

Although if they place there a neutral depot, it can go very unplayable, because back then the meta was - for fast pool just wall the bottom of the ramp, just like you can wall the ramp offensively | ||

No surprise that people have positive feelings towards it. Actually they are releasing the maps in order of popularity. | ||

So I expect whining about all-ining P instead of their graveyard Expect the bullshit book to open again a) the Book of Bullshit never closes b) Modern proper protoss allins are all done off two bases. Not being able to take the natural throws them out of the book, especially in PvZ. In fact, not being able to secure a natural completely breakes that matchup in favour of Zerg, as shown by Daedalus Point. In PvT the only one base all-ins that are available are one base blink (actually really good on metal for what it's worth) and some kind of proxy oracle/void ray bust. | ||

Protoss allins are good don't get me wrong, but they're strongest when the Protoss has the full gamut of options for greed and macro plays as part of their hand | ||

I remember playing some 2 base games, but also some lost games because of screwing the simcity, which is really that hard to learn, again. I will veto the map, no doubt about, because meta shifted and I don't know how to play and I don't think the old meta would work. But i thought it has to be told that even on those horrible maps was the option to open FFE. I remember playing macro games on Xel Naga Caverns, I use the same sim city on the dark map from current map pool(the one with colossus dance )(from time to time, usually I block the ramp :D) | ||

If a small adjustment to a tiny number is made in a game, you see people arguing about it how it will affect the gameflow and which race will dominate the others. and even progamers seem to be having different opinions on changes made and how it affects the game. They cant possibly all be right/all be wrong because the statements are contradictory but somehow EVERYONE seems to be absolutely sure the game will change the way they think it will. But how can they be? Now with changes so HUGE with these maps, how can anyone with absolute certainty predict how the gameflow will change? | ||
