What was that Broodwar map back in the old days that had a 2 geysers and 10 or 11 patch main? I really think something similar could be added for SC2, a 9 or 10 patch starting gold base with 3 geysers, would make for some very interesting, albeit probably imbalanced maps to play on. Add other map features to reduce all-ins off your initial super base if possible, I really think we need some drastic changes in the SC2 map pool.

Am I the only one to think the gold natural approach is very risky ?

No I posted the same concern on the first page. I don't think this solves anything but switch from being Zerg favor to being Protoss/Terran favored. I don't know what it will do to PvT but I don't even think its a problem, unless you're sOs

I think it will favour 2 base all-in play from non-zerg races.

1) lift CC
2) land at natural
3) profit

Don't think its a good idea unless you do something about the natural ramp. At the moment it takes 3 buildings to block.

I still don't understand why they have maps that are so overwhelmingly favored to one race. That just makes competition a joke...
But at least they are trying to fix their stupidity...

Wanna know what was so "unique" about Overgrowth? It was simple and very balanced. What's wrong with just that?

It had the Gold that Zerg could take, even offensively with Spinecrawler rush. It had the behind the natural area where you can place Siege Tanks, Pylon to warp in and the likes. And it had no Blink area entering the main. It also had a very defensive 4th. I know what you mean though, it was a fine map, but for my liking it was in the map pool for way too long. It's really not up there as one of the best IMO.

Those were things that made interesting games, IMO

Has the actual balance patch been released yet?

And btw, I'm preparing my anus for these map selections that Blizzard is going to be handling. Not favoring standard maps in favor of maps like Ulrena and Prion? Oh man -___-

Wanna know what the interesting feature of Overgrowth was? It was that it was super balanced across the board and it became a standard because of it.
