Redshift is gonna have ccs floating to the gold :D


I'd be shocked if anyone ever took it rather than 2-base all-inning exploiting the second entrance.

And even if it was a reasonable base lifting CCs doesn't work well with the twelve worker start as we saw from Habitation Station.

16-bit is nice. Overall a weird map tool. Not sure why DreamCatcher is doing in this map pool?

They can bring some old maps back. Not need to use new maps all the time.

Bring on the veto pain train!.

OP: I'm surprised they put Dreamcatcher in. I thought most of the views regarding the map during Wardi's tourney were negative.

The people who actually watched it play were rather negative about it, but it got fourth in public voting since it looks cool and different from the overview.

Redshift and Dreamcatcher actually made it in? I haven't tried them out but they remind me of 2010 maps for some reason

Most of the maps I like but Darkness Sanctuary is going to be even more of a turtle map than Backwater.

Seems like some adventurous new maps not sure how the balance will play out. I also loved blue shift, surprised its not there.
Another day, another depot.

The only game I've seen of it was in the GSL Semis where Dark rammed his head against a brick wall for 30 minutes, so probably.

I want to see maps with interesting mechanics such as where the lava floods the low grounds every few minutes.

You don't even need to go that far back. Several of the map pools in 2016 were probably worse.

Dasan Station was one of the worst, but a lot of the WoL maps would be complete memes if released today.

note to the OP, you're using outdated images of all the TLMC finalist maps, the most up to date ones can be found here:

Gotta love red shift.
It's quite experimental.
Nice new team maps too.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

These will be at WCS Austin?
