GSL stats showed it is pretty balanced compared to JB - good maps for tanks and high ranged units in controlling the mid Jungle - the most unbalanced map thus removed from map pool as much as i like this map - 3rd is almsot impossible if u are a zerg - FE is always guranteed to be defendable Scrap Station - zerg favoured map due to the loooong disance while midgame allin is good thanks to the rocks - air unit abuse is rampant especially warp prism, drop, banshee, muta etc - dun like this map in general especially late game where it is a turtle fest Lost Temple - cliff abuse, nydus abuse, storm trooper abuse nuff said

Lost Temple -Favor the terran siege tanks quite a bit, due to ramp. -Nat expo ramp harass is quite good for terran or protoss. Delta Quadrant -Proxy is very much possible -I dislike the rock at my back door expo. Metalopolis -Sry evo... but personally i think that meta might be the most balance map for me... (if i am wrong it is juz my retarded thinking skills) -FE can be achieve but not so much risk -The only thing wrong is zergling rush are gay as f* on this map (close spawn) Step -Very good map, but i rarely get this map on ladder -Favor aggressive play style Jungle basin -FE is very easy -3rd hard to take primary for zerg b Sands -I hate this map Scrap Station -Favor zerg -Favor air units due to close air distance all are base on my retarded logic, sry if i am wrong. lo metalopolis close spot become allin fest... that's y i dun think its balanced... 33% chance for being tooooooooo slow is T.T sands jz go 3gate always... anything fancy will get u killed ASAP Added on February 3, 2011, 9:23 pm QUOTE(quest_5692 @ Feb 3 2011, 09:15 PM) a protoss hate blistering sand....owh wai....... meta close spawn is just as bad as steppes IMO. if opponent zerg is just around my skill level, its an autowin for 2 rax play.. yup thus i dun find it balanced... cross spot favor zerg, close spot is so anti-zerg... its like lottery!

There're lots of things Terran can do against Zerg here. 2 rax marines, stim shield timing push, even if all that failed, it's so hard for Zerg to take a shared third, both the high ground and the gold. yup thus i hated metal... toss can do the crazy timing attacks with that as well and freaking annoying to deal with the 'inca cannon' build... taught my fren taht and he kept doing it that i am >.< QUOTE(quest_5692 @ Feb 4 2011, 10:30 AM) i didnt veto any map on my ladder so that i cn train on all bt cldnt d9 the fact i hate blistering jungle basin agnst protoss, hate delta quadrant in tvt, hate scrap station against zerg. But overall i still think dat current map pool favors terran alot... Wol is for terran i guess i dun veto as well since i play random... but usually i get the wrong race for the maps

Is it possible to build that cannon first? QUOTE(quest_5692 @ Feb 5 2011, 12:45 AM) you proxy pylon at metalopolis's natural, then cannon up in the base. metalopolis's natural map placement if you still remember, the mineral line is very near to the edge of that base. this... inca did it in GSL 1 and was the most talked about cheese build...
