Goodbye to Carthage 3 and Byzantium 3, hello Odd-Eye (wtf?) and Ultimatum!

More info on the rest of the map pool etc. will be released around the time of the Group Ceremony at 18:30 KST on Thursday 19th of November.

I LOVE PA SYMMETRY! Sorry, had to get that out. Both look pretty interesting.
|
Odd-Eye looks completely ridiculous. I rather like Ultimatum.
|
thank god carthage and byzantium are gone
|
Byzantium has always been awful and Carthage is mediocre at best so this is exciting!
|
Odd-Eye is very Fantasy-esque and Ultimatum looks to be a good normal map, though are those 4 island expos with no easy third gas? Then not really.
|
Crossing fingers for anti-Zerg imba...
|
Sweet! These maps look good and interesting. I think that there are too many bland and boring maps being used in leagues right now.

Thank god Byzantium and Carthage is gone
Ultimatum looks very interesting! 6 and 12 cliffs look imba while 3 and 9 look like total bleg
Odd-Eye looks.... Odd. No idea how that map will play out

Easy third gas I think is the reason Zerg has been dominating Protoss lately (they are able to get the mutalisks and lurkers out very easily vs toss) while toss has to sit on 2 gas until they can push out. Hopefully this will balance things back out a little more.
And I like lots of island expos, we get to see Sair/Reaver on it a lot more I feel.

will be fun, or interresting to watch PvZ on ultimatum
|
Odd-Eye's symmetry is so sexy. Mapgasm!
Looks like it'll be like Hwarangdo where players don't bother sending overlords straight away to the opponent's bases. Just too damm far away.
I like Ultimatum because it has islands.
|
lol they brought back Tiamat except it's jungle now.

or what about just balanced maps? S: its silly to want maps to be imba in favor of races just because they got the short straw last time
EDIT: Or maybe you meant just maps that prevented zerg imba and were balanced instead >_> I dunno, haha.
Odd-Eye looks pretty fun, I wish there were larger pictures though.
|
Yep, Odd-Eye does look like a load of fun, the symmetry used on it is not the usual type.
