Hello fellow TLers,



LT is in fact imba because you can tell the zergs spawn position without scouting since you can/cant see flowers at their starting position.

This works for all spawn positions - settings can be on medium/high or ultra i dont know about the exact shaders terrain settings but it was confirmed many times that it works with medium and above.

thanks AskJoshy

It actually works on any "jungle themed map that has flowers at the starting location"

the GSL actually made a custom LT map and removed all flowers so everyone gets fair games and all that within 2 days. Good Job GSL



SS Nestea games LT w/o flowers

An official Blizzard guy actually posted in the Bug report so there is no need to bump the threads but maybe you should add additional info if you find out new stuff about the bug or add your general thoughts about it.

Thanks for the reports guys! =)

Blizzard please remove LT from the map pool in order to fix this like you did with Shakuras(?). Don't bother bringing this one back when you have fixed it though.

Honestly though, I wonder how stuff like this happens? the creep doesn't spread that far out at the start does it? I never play zerg so I wouldn't know.
