I know they are for GSL, but is there a chance they will come into ladder system? I mean S2 of Legacy (which will be S1 2016 LotV ladder)

Rak'shir really reminds me of Yeonsu with its main/nat/3rd base setup (luckily there's too much air space between the main and that 3rd for blink abuse).

Regardless, I think both maps (even if Sky Shield's air space is not actually that huge) look ripe for liberator and warp prism abuse. We'll see how that turns out.

i fucking love sky shield, it reminds me of the bw map oxide with the 3 tiny chokes down the central rush path and wider yet longer paths around the edges. those forward high ground pods with the awkwardly angled 1 ff ramps enable some of the highest defender's advantage we've seen from any terrain configuration in sc2, provided the right units are there to take advantage of it. it's a very bw-ish map concept, cloud kingdom used it to an extent but it was a more subdued version, imo this map does it the way it should be done.

I'm glad LOTV maps are pushing people to spread out more.

Finally less maps which promote you sitting in a corner with 4 easy bases and to never leave. Spread out around the map, expand!

GSL/SSL cannot modify ladder maps; only Blizzard can do.

I'm very surprised Prion of all maps made it into GSL.

I think his complaint was the map itself being in the map pool. Although by pure winrates that's not even the most imbalanced map. It's around 50% for ZvT and PvT and 60%-40% for ZvP. There's worse in the pool (except for ZvP).

Though I guess reaper cheese every game is not appealing.

Really cool to see that GSL has their own maps again. Not really a fan of these two maps so far, but atleast they seem to be better than Ulrena and Central Protocol.
Hopefully SSL and PL will have 2-3 unique maps aswell.

so they could take it out fully.

why wouldn't they be able to modify ladder maps? i thought that's what they did when they started putting burrowed depots by the ramps.

I dont know where you see that these look balanced because they are not. You cant even defend a 3rd base at the second map as terran/protoss. defending 2 ramps and the open field in the south. and still can get attacked at the 2nd base at the ramp.

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.


What exactly prevents them going with interesting maps now? If anything, this is EXACTLY when you want to do it - everything is new, so let's use maps that have features that can allow players to display creativity when it's essentially a blank canvas, rather than the boring vanilla mostly 2 player maps that are used 99% of the time
