Great read,
As for great games on dasan station, i feel like stats vs scarlett from HSC was a crazy one with drone rush into 30 minute macro slugfest, but there are no VODs

Would love to see a BW equivalent of this article:

Gaema Plateau/Gowon
Peaks of Baekdu

I don't even know if I'd count a lot of the BW maps - the tilesets are so limited that most of the real-life inspirations are very abstract, pretty much in name only.

Small correction. "rådhus" does not translate as "courthouse", but as "city hall".
