At a first look Beckett Industries looks pretty good.

The standard/macro maps all look the same as each other and as most of the maps from the last few seasons. I dunno why you guys are obsessed with giving away 5 bases for free, with 7+ bases per player, only 2-players, and worst of all, an even number of paths.

I'm not a fan of Blackburn, but the other rush maps seem ok; though if any make it into the ladder pool I have no idea how good their gameplay will actually turn out.

Why does all maps look familiar and dull, I thought we're gonna have some crazy maps under the topic of adrenaline rush

Anything not familiar and dull gets vetoed to death. Just look at Zen, only the natural is unusual and the map is barely played.

You know I'm not terrified of "interesting" features; I loved Turbo Cruise and I liked Winter's Gate for example, but Zen is extremely uncomfortable to play on. The 2nd nat entrance is occasionally annoying, but normally you just block it off and rally to your 3rd and it's almost like the nat is normal. What makes the map hell to play on is the tiny misshapen main bases, especially in conjunction with the cliff face that turns into an expo, annoying pathing due to a thousand different mineral blocks, and how tight the map is as a whole. I think the tightness would be ok without the mineral blocks, and the layout as a whole would be more easily taken in without the cramped main, nat, and 3rd. All together these traits make for a typically unpleasant game, not the "innovative" feature of the 2nd nat entrance.

I want to like the map, it definitely stands out among the mappool of the last few seasons, but after playing a ton of games on the map I found I enjoyed sc2 much more after vetoing it.

However, I promise you can have traits that differentiate a map from its peers without hurting the gameplay.


Yeah i made too many mistakes on Zen

AZGs on chokes change the properties of the choke. It's more or less desirable depending on the stage of the game.

With a small army, it is only a boost because the army doesn't get spaghettified.

With a large army, the army gets spaghettified but still gets through the choke at a normal pace.

Setting a concave is very easy for battles with medium and large armies. But if the defender's army to too small, the attacker can still break through with a few less hits taken.

So depending on the time of the game, the size of the attacker and the defender's armies will vary and you won't use those chokes the same in the early, mid and late game.

sounds like a bunch of theorycraft you made up

But that’s the beauty of theorycraft!

Personally I think there could be more interesting uses of something like accelerating/slowing fields, namely make a variant that is directional.

Maybe while entering from one side it accelerates you through, decelerates if entering from the other side. Then you could have relatively long chunks of movement modifying fields.

So controlling the entrances could be used more tactically and battle over, you could try to establish a position in front of one and speed up reinforcements from your rear. Or have them controllable and require units on them to active them, like a Xel’Naga tower.

Or a player could be looking to control it to slow a push through a choke.

I mean I’m just spitballing of course. But say a bio-tank parade pushing kind of style could be made strong or weak depending on how the fields would be controlled.

I feel at present they’re just things that make you move faster or slower through chokes at present and that’s about it really.

I'm annoyed that every single finalist features spawns in the corners, and similar expansion layouts.

Beautiful maps though.

The directional idea is kinda weird to play I guess, but the "take control" idea is nice!

There is a fine line between interesting and gimmicky but I quite like the look of that one.

It’s a shame I just never think they really get maps and pools right, and I have long thought ladder and how it works plays into this.

There’s not much room for experimentation and things get a bit same, I’ve long felt the map pool should have more maps full stop, with more vetoes.

Or more maps and a set of vetoes for each of your matchups. As a Protoss player I’ve had to veto many a map that made for great macro PvT matches because it was too Zerg favoured was generally the pattern with me, but I’m sure others have had differing experiences.

Then over a ladder season you can get a sense with ladder data of what the good, balanced maps tend to be for each specific matchup and feed those into tournament matches too.

As it has long been, IMO there aren’t enough maps in the pool, it gets stale and sometimes the interesting maps get rotated out too quickly, ones people are tired of stick around forever and there isn’t a huge amount of room for experimentation in the current pool.

Trying to make every map as close to 50/50 for every single matchup is a thankless task and it inevitably leads to really similar maps. I’d love to see what map makers could do with maps tailored for making the best TvT map possible as their remit, or whatever particular matchup.

There’s other things could be done too, experimental maps could give you special portraits and stuff to encourage people to give them a proper try.

Congrats to the Finalists!!

Cool to see familiar names here, and a few I don't recognize.

I know it's not relevant to most, but for me a good map has to have a cool name. And to me, at first glance for the most part, these maps have pretty cool names. In a few cases, way cool.

Looking forward to learning the maps' actual features...

Trying to make every map as close to 50/50 for every single matchup is a thankless task and it inevitably leads to really similar maps. I’d love to see what map makers could do with maps tailored for making the best TvT map possible as their remit, or whatever particular matchup.

There’s other things could be done too, experimental maps could give you special portraits and stuff to encourage people to give them a proper try.


I appreciate your thoughts here.

I want more super out-there maps (e.g., Dasan Station, Klontas Mire, etc.) Most of my fun in playing Starcraft2 comes from making my own creative adaptations and unique build orders. I'd much rather have slightly or somewhat imbalanced maps that are fun to discover then a map pool of 7 balanced maps that all look and play basically the same. I know I'm not alone in this. Shoot, if I could have 7 weird maps, I'd take it. I'll compromise with less, but come on, None!? Whaatever...

That said, the mapmakers did a great job making beautiful maps, so congrats to the finalists.

I agree, it will be fun to play a map like that again!

Blackburn definitely gets my vote. That map is sick!!! Would use for a ThunderLeague.

At a first look Beckett Industries looks pretty good.

The standard/macro maps all look the same as each other and as most of the maps from the last few seasons. I dunno why you guys are obsessed with giving away 5 bases for free, with 7+ bases per player, only 2-players, and worst of all, an even number of paths.

I'm not a fan of Blackburn, but the other rush maps seem ok; though if any make it into the ladder pool I have no idea how good their gameplay will actually turn out.

Anything not familiar and dull gets vetoed to death. Just look at Zen, only the natural is unusual and the map is barely played.

You know I'm not terrified of "interesting" features; I loved Turbo Cruise and I liked Winter's Gate for example, but Zen is extremely uncomfortable to play on. The 2nd nat entrance is occasionally annoying, but normally you just block it off and rally to your 3rd and it's almost like the nat is normal. What makes the map hell to play on is the tiny misshapen main bases, especially in conjunction with the cliff face that turns into an expo, annoying pathing due to a thousand different mineral blocks, and how tight the map is as a whole. I think the tightness would be ok without the mineral blocks, and the layout as a whole would be more easily taken in without the cramped main, nat, and 3rd. All together these traits make for a typically unpleasant game, not the "innovative" feature of the 2nd nat entrance.

I want to like the map, it definitely stands out among the mappool of the last few seasons, but after playing a ton of games on the map I found I enjoyed sc2 much more after vetoing it.

However, I promise you can have traits that differentiate a map from its peers without hurting the gameplay.


Yeah i made too many mistakes on Zen

AZGs on chokes change the properties of the choke. It's more or less desirable depending on the stage of the game.

With a small army, it is only a boost because the army doesn't get spaghettified.

With a large army, the army gets spaghettified but still gets through the choke at a normal pace.

Setting a concave is very easy for battles with medium and large armies. But if the defender's army to too small, the attacker can still break through with a few less hits taken.

So depending on the time of the game, the size of the attacker and the defender's armies will vary and you won't use those chokes the same in the early, mid and late game.

sounds like a bunch of theorycraft you made up

But that’s the beauty of theorycraft!

Personally I think there could be more interesting uses of something like accelerating/slowing fields, namely make a variant that is directional.

Maybe while entering from one side it accelerates you through, decelerates if entering from the other side. Then you could have relatively long chunks of movement modifying fields.

So controlling the entrances could be used more tactically and battle over, you could try to establish a position in front of one and speed up reinforcements from your rear. Or have them controllable and require units on them to active them, like a Xel’Naga tower.

Or a player could be looking to control it to slow a push through a choke.

I mean I’m just spitballing of course. But say a bio-tank parade pushing kind of style could be made strong or weak depending on how the fields would be controlled.

I feel at present they’re just things that make you move faster or slower through chokes at present and that’s about it really.


The directional idea is kinda weird to play I guess, but the "take control" idea is nice!

i live near blackburn so that wins surely

have to agree that these are just standard maps. I suppose this is what we get got having 3 different races, but im sure we accept that some maps are better for some races. Maybe we could have it IF its deemed map x is better for X race, then you are awarded +10 mmr extra for winning on it as a bonus? Might stop a lot of crying, but i know this may have its issues. i too enjoyed the game when crazy shit was afoot. remember the days of shakuras and that where people found really op places to put units, you kinda played around NOT letting that happen . . .meh i thought it was kinda cool, it was like 2nd objectives and all that shit you scream for these days . . . .they did it back then without knowing.

My favorite pre-WCS tournament series was SC2 ProLeague, by far. It was a testbed for all kinds of off-the-wall map ideas, impeccably executed by the big Korean mapmakers. That's where Korhal Sky Island, Outboxer, King Sejong Station, and so many more awesome ideas got tested out, and proven to be good or imbalanced. We haven't really gotten anything like that to replace it since.

100% agree the large sample size of competitive games we could get from Proleague was so useful for figuring out map balance as well as what map concepts worked. I do think though there should be a majority of standards maps in a pool and then a couple with unique features that are more geared towards a certain play style or certain build types. By implementing these types of maps you could introduce some variety to the game without having to make overall balance changes.

Tastes are different, e.g. I really hate bright maps as they put more strain on my eyes. I insta-veto every snowy map, no matter how good it's supposed to be for my race.

@thread: Some of the maps look amazing, especially "Ecostation" has a beautiful balance of colors.
