Not even sure one of them is actually close to Bisu level atm, as rusty as he might be. | ||

Transistor - pretty balanced, it's all about build execution and decision making. It's still better than some maps that were gushed over as balanced in the past but in fact are a hotbed for Terran bullying. | ||

Let this be a lesson. Map balance literally does not play in a factor in low level games pretty much at all. Nobody is playing anywhere near close to perfectly. | ||

Drops and sneaky backdoor attacks. Protoss is an immobile army, Transistor doesn't change that. | ||

All of a sudden a player who has an amazing personality, very entertaining play style, extremely talented and amazing story comes into ASL and all you just whine about balance and maps and PvPs | ||
