I actually like the mechanics revolved around the Xel'naga towers. It only adds to the gameplay so it's not bad in my opinion.
The new maps look great can't wait to see some top level players duke it out on these maps.

Biohazard looks extremely tilted towards siege tank drops.

1) NO backdoors!!!!! Everyone hates them.
2) NO second base that is only accessible trough the main base (like in one of those 4 maps in the OP).
Well, only map that has backdoor (Crossfire) has a damn long run distance - meaning attacker has to run way way longer than defender, similiar to Jungle Basin.

That's actually good news for a change
And those maps of the Gisado Star Challange look great.
|
good to know, looking forward to these new maps

This new is awesome. It's the beginning of competitions on reals maps.
|
I don't even care if these maps favour one race or another, just having bigger maps will be such a breath of fresh air.

Amoroso looks faaar too big, a lot bigger than iCCup Enigma which is already too large

I've always felt that in SC2 8base macro=BW 4base macro.I think that making a map to prove that point was needed.At least for me.
but hey,this means people will stop complaining about Enigma if Amoroso becomes a hit.

This is the greatest news I have ever heard relating to Star2
|
Maybe SC2 needs bigger maps since the game is faster pace? It will certainly reduce the power of all-ins.

If you want to see some of these maps in action, I've did some looking around with my very basic Korean and found VODS of the Gisado Star Challenge.
Instructions: 1. Go to http://www.gomtv.com/game/ 2. Click on 기사도의 스타챌린지 (its on the same menu as the English text "GSL Jan"). VODs of each day of the Gisado Star Challenge will be displayed below. 3. Click on a picture of a VOD and press play. If you want to skip to a specific game, there is a playlist on the right.
The default resolution is 720p. If you have a problem, you can change it to SD by clicking on the text next to the play button and selecting the other option.
These VODs are not region restricted :D
EDIT: Crossfire is played in the 4th game of this series: http://ch.gomtv.com/4555/28119/404251

Great news!! Before long the GSL maps will determine the Bnet ladder maps, instead of the other way around.
|
Those maps look so sweet, yay for crossfire, and biohazard looks weird..
