I assume the removal of golds is due to the recent trend of Z early expanding to them and then just turtling before overwhelming their opponent. Winter Bel'shir sounds pretty neat.

Oh wow, they got rid of Terminus. Really glad about that. The new changes they made to that map were really bad for Zerg with the rocks. Though i never really liked Terminus all that much. || Fruit Dealer | Leenock | Yughio | Coca | Sniper | True | Solar | Dark |

Imo, looks like a mix between crevasse and delta quadrant. We all know who those maps favoured >_> Imo, looks like a mix between crevasse and delta quadrant. We all know who those maps favoured >_>

Calm before the storm is also a very protoss friendly map.



Calm before the storm map thread GOM is taking balance into their own hands. The very open maps which protoss struggle on has been removed or modified while terran favored gold bases are being removed.Calm before the storm is also a very protoss friendly map.

Pictures of the changes would be highly apreciated! Let's take bets how long it will take Blizzard to keep up... 6 months?Pictures of the changes would be highly apreciated! I can't believe I ate the whole thing.

bluegarfield Profile Joined December 2010 Singapore 519 Posts #17 the new map seems to encourage some 3rd hardcore turtle play. feel it kinda hard to secure 4th on this map vs muta/drop play.air units can bounce between bases so fast while walking distance is like so far ELqQQT_T

Lol that's a good call. I see it. I think it has a bit Crossfire in it too, With all the seemingly narrow-ish paths. Lol that's a good call. I see it.

windsupernova Profile Joined October 2010 Mexico 5272 Posts #20 Nice, the removal of Gold bases in Dual sight is understandable.



Many games in that map were decided by hidden golds(although I think thats more to blame on players not scouting but whatever) Same with cross fire.



Removal of gold in Antiga I am not sure, I don´t think anyone will take the gold now as it was a very risky expo. Only cross pos is cool though



Winter Belshir sounds neat, hehehe I want the snow tileset from HotS.



Terminus was a boring map IMO, i don´t know why they removed Xel Naga fortress. Was it that T favoured?



Metalopolis is a super stale map, I don´t know why people wanted it so much.
