StarCraft 2

The 1v1, 2v2 & 4v4 Map Pools got a massive overhaul! So many new maps. What do you guys think?

good and bad, will need time to get used to that's for sure.

Is this PTR? I don't have any of those maps.

Played typhon peaks. Protoss favored vs Zerg IMO. 3rd base impossible for Z to harass, narrow chokes and if zerg goes muta P just has to destroy the rocks in those close air positions and then his attack path is in line with the muta harass.

they kept scrap station and delta... o god why...

If anyone would like to help me out and upload 120x120 and 40x40 images of the new maps to this thread, I'd appreciate it. We need them for the replay section!

Thx in advance!

And took out Shakuras. Why?

Is that ST = new LT?
AND WHERE THE FUCK IS SHAKURAS?

yea st = new LT and shak removed lol. They must have not liked the backdoor rock passage I can't see any other reason.

Yeah I think that must have been the reason. The back door slow Terran push against Zerg was almost unstoppable. But why the fuck didn't they just make the spawn points fixed in cross positions then?

It is too hard to defend the natural in Slag pit

For the others, it seems okay, but I dunno how to play Zerg in those map
I can't harass their expo easily then they camp until 200/200 and roll over me

Lol wut, I dont mind they removing shakuras. Good map but backdoor rocks is retarded no matter what map. Havent played the new maps, but allowing scrap and dq still in the map pool makes me sad qq

removing shakuras - such fail

shakuras was the best game for perfect macro-gaming

yeah what the hell.

Shakuras is a bad map cuz of backdoor rocks. If they didnt had rocks and made it island expansions it would actually be a gr8 map. But I dont mind at all that it has been removed.

Scrap Station...still in? Im so confused.

Crap station is 999999% better than Delta

Even a in-base rax act like a proxy rax in other map

both expo point is extremely vulnerable to any knid of attack LOLOL

here ya go

I just played a few games of PvTs and PvZs on slag pits.

The cross spawn distance is HUGE! So it is problematic for P to push because once you're at half-way point and the mutas or MMM drop comes by, you are better off just keep going and end the game with the army or die trying because if you decide to march all the way back to base, you'll find pretty much nothing left standing...

also, the 3rd for Z is far away. It is more beneficial for the Z going mutas b/c it is so much more difficult for P to move out now or risk getting all their probes killed.

And with the immobility of P's death ball, ling run bys, and roach pokes and muta fly bys kinda make 3rd impossible for the protoss on this map unless you have like 8~ cannons defending your main, your nat, and your 3rd against the mutas and ling run bys.

I played 1 PvP on this map and once again, due to the long distances between spawns on cross, 3gate robo > 4gates.



and Shattered Temple got a huge-ass choke now. Not P FE friendly anymore (well it is still very do-able, but now I can't get away with 15~16 nex vs Z with just 2~ cannons)

overall, the new maps and the patch is gonna hit P harder than any other faction/race.
