Overview

Map Concept ( aka GET READY FOR THE MINDBLOWING! )

Map Concept

This map was something i made at the start of HotS , and I never really finished it. 1 week ago i found it and decided to complete it. This map is fairly unusual , since it features asymmetrical spawns , but more important , about 95% of the map is pathable , and you can move units on the yellow-green water. Just like sewers , if you ever been there. I really like it , because the splitty and island-oriented style of the map tends to split armies to really abuse map's layout. This is my view of good games , low eco & costant harass. You're free to disagree with me. :D

The top left/bottom right mains look like they're seigeable, and the other two are really tiny...

Are all spawns enabled? And to be sure, are you allowed to build in the water areas as well as move through them? Also, what are the nat to nat times? I love the asymmetry and the general layout (and can't remember the last sewer-themed map so props there), but I fear the small size, the capability of air and drops, and the abuse of chokes.

Gas at the 3rds at 11/5 look like they're off by 1 square.

This map is the dream of Protoss all-ins. If the game makes it to mid game, Protoss doesn't have a chance. Thankfully, this map give Protoss an incredible amount of all-in opportunity to prevent the game from getting that far. Chokey path to your opponent makes this map great for any sentry base all-ins. Loads of hiding places for proxy pylons, making warp gate rushes quite strong. Stargate all-ins will also be great here with the great amount of flight space around and behind bases.

Blink. Did I mention blink? Holy hell this map is AMAZING for blink all-ins. Very much so to the point where blink is probably broken on this map. Mothership core + blink allows the Protoss to harass and blink from just about anywhere. Does not look good for Terran in PvT.

Also, I don't think you hit a good vibe with the sewer theme. It doesn't seem much like a sewer, but rather an above ground canal system. It's just too bright to be a sewer. This map has quite the nice sewer theme. Not saying your map looks bad, it just doesn't look like what you were going for.

Why is protoss doomed past midgame???

Btw lez if you haven't already you need to fix the spawn points in the upper right / lower left, they are off by a few squares. And please please add more room in these main bases at least.

Looking at this again for a bit, I think I like it better than the map EW just posted with much the same layout idea. Probably because this map has more room for departure from standard play.

They're both good though.
