They made so many uncalled-for changes, they removed the backdoor rocks at the natural (have fun with that btw), they changed the tileset substantially, and they even redid almost all the doodads. Nobody said a word to me at any point about this, and they should be glad they didn't, because I wouldn't put this map on the ladder. What a supreme gesture of disrespect, to take something I so meticulously crafted, and take a hacksaw to it. There's a lot more I could say about this, but I'm shaking right now. Maybe later. Blizzard can have their e-sport. Blizzard doesn't realize that eSports was created by the community, not them. They try to take it and slap the "eSports" TM on it. Sometimes I feel as though a common collective of eSports enthusiasts need to take Blizzard to court to remind them of this. I mean really, MLB isn't going to approach Johnny, his classmates, his parents and their parents and sue them for playing a game of baseball, recording it, and putting it on youtube at the same time that the world finals for MLB is going on. Likewise, MLB isn't going to approach the creator of the wooden baseball bat or the jerseys and say, "We don't like the colors of your jerseys. We're changing them for you." Why should it be different for Starcraft eSports? Yeah, I know it's in the EULA, but I feel as though we as gamers hold the right to remind Blizzard that we pay for their product and we hold the right to use it however we want after we pay for it so long as we are not committing blatant or something that literally detriments Blizzard Entertainment. | ||

I wasn't particularly addressing what you quoted there, but rather the way you've been responding throughout the thread. You keep talking about how everything is cool and I have no right to complaint, because in the EULA, Blizzard "is correct", when nobody but you is arguing about the EULA. If you want to strawman my point by linking it to an unrelated quote, I can simply not continue discussing this with you, because at this point you've contributed little more to the discussion than a troll. | ||

If reading my posts made your eyes roll, I'm sorry, I don't have anything left at this point. I'm just done. | ||

There are plenty of us that recognize how important map makers are to esports going back to the beginning of Brood War and how bad it was for them at the beginning of SC2. I'm at least with you on this. | ||

Well, "Van Gogh's Roses" would be getting a lot of attraction, but I'm quite sure not many people would be happy if the sunflowers were replaced  | ||

It's just like I said, I expected too much. I didn't expect reaching my goals would feel like this. It hurts more than all 6 of the TLMC's I lost put together. | ||

I would have no problems playing PvT on this version I think. But the lack of rocks in the corridor just destroys the Z mus I think (even ZvZ !). I mean no, maybe it doesn't destroy them ; after all Lerilak Crest was playableish... But it kills the intention of the map, and that's extremely disrespectful. The wall you'd have to build to keep out adepts is pretty intense. You can't just put a smaller wall at the ramp and one at the pathway and be done, you gotta build this huge, stupid and expensive wall around your entire natural. Which I assume would go for PvP as well, although I don't think adept all-ins are as common there. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/qjrxKZU.jpg?1) I don't know if you can see the whole thing on the picture, but we'll just have to build gate + core on the low ground, and then with a well placed pylon behind the gas you can be fully walled with just 1 3hex building. Of course it's not an ideal wall since 1/ the Nexus and two pylons are part of it 2/ the mining at the second natural gas becomes slightly suboptimal, but it's far better than not being able to wall at all. So overall I think the map can live with the change and still see the awesome lategame maneuvering it was designed for. EDIT : I'm doing tests right now, New Gettysburg is tricky as hell to wall as well, and pathfinding with air blockers is REALLY shit. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/U1jVKhr.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/v7HTrjI.jpg) edit: @wire, are you sure one pylon is enough to block the way behind the assimilator? it didn't look like it to me, and it definitely doesn't work on Endion. | ||

The rocks do not impact the way you wall in, but not having them definitely makes scouting way harder. I'd say it's playable, unlike what Daedalus Point was like for instance, but on ladder especially Zerg is going to do all-in a lot, and win a lot with it, before Protoss can get most builds going (adept timings included): edit: @wire, are you sure one pylon is enough to block the way behind the assimilator? it didn't look like it to me, and it definitely doesn't work on Endion. I double checked, it works. I agree with what you say, it makes the map harder to play but playable. | ||

We will see... Dasan Station is a joke. TvT, early zerglings rush, Pylons rush, 3 entries in the main,... so much fun. The others look good but sad to say goodbye to Dusk Tower  | ||

Yeah, Cloud Kingdom had a closed natural, easiest to defend than on Galactic . This path all around the map, from B2 to B4, looks pretty funny. Sneaky strats incoming on this map  | ||
