Clever design. Seems pretty cool. I'm not quite sure why the 1gas expos are needed... could prove to have some imbalances in mirror match ups (TvT) and potentially PvT based on the spawn. But otherwise I think its a nice map conceptually.

8m1hyg third? or is it a normal geyser I wonder.

Looks like for FFE you have to go from the ramp to the nexus, at least initially. Which might be a little annoying for Protoss considering that you have an incredibly huge and open middle so it's already good for zerg. The pro for protoss is that you have an Entombed-esque protected path to the third (without the rocks), the con of course is there's only 1 geyser at that base, and the base has 2 entrances.

It's hard to say for sure without seeing games on it, and seeing how well immortal sentry/other timings work on it, but it initially looks Zerg-favored for PvZ.

I agree here. I'd like to see the near 3rd made into a 6m1g base, or similar, and another set of 6m1g bases added to the right hand of the natural. Without something like that, the 4 base setup of the clockwise player is much more compact and defensible than the anticlockwise player whose vulnerable extremities are almost twice as far apart.
