They've all been updated, but I don't have a list of detailed changes, so I included some comparison GIF's. KeSPA will probably announce the R4 map pool soon.



Artemis and Colosseum have been removed.

Newkirk Redevelopment Precinct has been added.

Five KeSPA test maps were published onto the Korean server today. I'm guessing they're the candidates being tested for round 4 of proleague.

That and, do you just not get a 3rd base on Artemis?

Never mind, I see the "third". Was just hard to see in the picture.

Zerg as they can pump out drones faster as they are then limited by larvae instead of minerals? :o. Also since they start out with 3 larvae instead of 1... even slightly bigger boost early game?!

Third to main distance on Face Off looks painful. Speedyvacs gonna love that one.



Artemis has... no third? Or am I blind?



I like Colosseum's layout but high ground expansions into main might be problematic. Administrator YOU MUST HEED MY INSTRUCTIONS TAKE OFF YOUR THIIIINGS

where is the spawn location.

bduddy Profile Joined May 2012 United States 1322 Posts #14 Is Face Off a forced cross-spawn, two-maps-in-one type thing? The spawns are entirely different, if it's not forced cross the cries of "Positional imbalance!" will never stop... >Liquid'Nazgul: Of course you are completely right

And yowza Face Off can be played in two completely different ways it seems. It looks like a remix of that 3-player test map with 2-way ramp feature

lichter Profile Blog Joined September 2010 1001 YEARS KESPAJAIL 22233 Posts #19 The close cross spawn on Face Off looks crazy. Is that back section usable? Siege tanks on it will be painful. If not, then I assume reapers can jump through because otherwise it would have been empty space.



It reminds me of Blistering Sands o_o Administrator YOU MUST HEED MY INSTRUCTIONS TAKE OFF YOUR THIIIINGS
