Fantasy II
One major change is the XenoSky (11) Mineral Natural becoming more Zerg Friendly
Blue Storm
This map is now going to be used in MSL, OSL and PL. Replaces Monty Hall as the innovative 2 Player Map
Katrina
Replaces Python as the loaned KeSPA 4 Player map
Persona
An innovative map with neutral Dark Swarms, Persona seems to be the map to reduce bumbling turtle games

What are the red dots in the mid of Blue Storm? Only doodads?

Damn, those other new maps sound interesting (well only Persona, Fantasy II you can probably expect what that is...unless it combines three OTHER maps)

Ahh, thanks for the info GTR. I'm interested to see Blue Storm here as well. I'm scared that once the cheeses dry out (like they did with MH) we'll find a big ass macro map with a great divide that's too hard to cross.
Katrina is another strange choice. It's been working out in PL much better than I expected: 1-0 PvT, 1-1 PvZ, 2-1 TvZ. Very interesting map.
I'm glad they kept MongHwan, hopefully it's balanced now.
Personna... sigh, I so badly want to see this map now.
Thanks for the info GTR. I can't wait for the remaining two pictures!

Can't wait to see Personna..but why is Python removed? Damn
|
Sad that python is gone so soon but glad that katrina is now in the OSL. We've already seen some great games on that map and a few good ones on blue storm as well.
It looks like, finally, both leagues will have great maps at once...

Python gave us some great games ! Can't wait to see the other maps. This OSL should be great !

Persona sounds hot, even without a pic/description

I can't wait to see Persona. And am interested to see the fixes that have been included on Fantasy II as well.
Katrina definitely gets an approval from me.
Blue Storm is kinda "meh" imo, especially since both individual leagues and proleague will be using it. I think it's better than keeping Monty Hall though.

ohhh so awesome,. I thought Fantasy was so great. I hope they use a few new maps this time. Maybe they can use a 3player map like longinus, rh3, and tau cross.

cool thanks gtr.
cant wait to see upgraded monghwan and persona now >_<
|
Can someone explain two things two me (off-topic): Why did proleague keep monty hall? Secondly, what the fuck changed on the new monty that made it a non-PvP fest all of a sudden?
Also looking forward to seeing the two new maps. I think OGN always makes/picks better maps than MBC does though in the last seasons they picked some terrible experimental ones (Cultivation Period and Arkanoid; but hey at least they didn't pick The Eye).

The theme of Persona is supposed to be "the masks that we wear." I have no idea how that translates to a BW map.
It will be unveiled live during the group selection.

You could have asked that in the Proleague Map Thread, it isn't too far from this one.
There are now less resources in the main, to help push some balance toward Zerg. The mineral walls also have less minerals. Those are the changes. the map is also not new like it was last season, players have had time to develop strategy (such as Silver's) that wasn't immediately apparent.

Yeah I want fucking out of ZvT take T's center expo sunken up get guardians super fast ggggg
Persona sounds so sexy lol ;P
Are these maps all going to be up on mapdori?

great map this season, a lot of good games
|
Katrina is such an awesome map. Its heavily strategy based and I expect players to start using more shuttles/dropships/overlords in all match ups. The pathing is awesome too.
|
Yesssssss, Fantasy II, wanna see it wanna see it :D
|
