Sky Shield

[image loading]

▶Map name: Sky shield
▶Map editor: Jacky
▶Size: 140 x 140
▶players: 2

▶Concept
‘Sky shield’ is named after a campaign mission of Legacy of the void, which players should secure all five stabilizers in time, defending it from any attempt to repair it. Inspired by progamers` struggle to achieve victory against their opponents, we chose this new map`s name and concept.


▶Features
1) You can take your third optionally; the place where you decided to take the third could change your whole midgame strategy.
2) You can harass third`s outside with your ranged units.
3) In the early-mid game, it is designed to use narrow passages located in the centre of the map. After mid-game, players could use wide passages on the side.

Rak'Shir

[image loading]

▶Map name: Rak’Shir
▶Map editor: Ovalient
▶Size: 132 x 132
▶players: 2


▶Concept
‘Rak’Shir’ stands for a formalized duel system used by the Tal'darim.

We named it Rak’Shir hoping the winner player could ascend to the higher place.

▶Features
1) Taking third is quite hard; however, it`ll be much easier to defend it if you use the rock located in the centre.

2) It`d be better to play active, because bases are located in midst of avenue for attack.

So are these new maps ladder maps or are they GSL-exclusive?

The latter.

Edit: seems GSL guys know that Protocol sucks.

Does Sky Shield seriously have that much dead space on the edges? Interested to see how that plays out.

If it really does then it's pretty insane.

Kinda conservative map picks, but I suppose this is the kind of season that warrants some standard stuff so we can figure out the game.

RAK SHIR looks aweful, you have to play aggressive or your enemy will just pick you apart...defend your third and they hit natural, defend natural and they hit third...reminds me of overwatch...I hate maps that make you play a certain style. Sky shield is a little better. Hope these aren't making it to the ladder though

Do they actually use Prion Terraces and Lerilak Crest? I thought those two maps were... uh... not refined?

I have a hard time not saying Rak'Shir with a Scottish accent.
The world is better when every background has a chance.
