Description[edit]
This map appeared in the SPL 09 MapTest, but did not get selected. Although the map itself was novel and brought many great TvP and ZvT matches, the map's fairly imbalanced and uninspiring ZvP and a general Zerg bias caused it to be denied. The narrow pathways provided many novel ways to maneuver around the map like Heartbreak Ridge, but since those passageways also forced Mech play and allowed for an easy Terran defense, the map would have led to rather uninspiring play.
Notable Features[edit]
- Back Entrance to Natural - The natural can be accessed through a back passageway.
- Narrow Passageways - The low ground passageways are very narrow, making it hard to flank and maneuver.
- Gas Heavy Map - Every expansion on the map has gas. On one side of the map, there are 6 gas bases, for a total of 12 gas bases. On the other hand, the natural only has 1,000 gas, and the expansions only have 2,000 gas each.
- Easily Defendable Natural - There are cliffs overlooking the natural and the chokes into the natural are small.
Notable Games[edit]
- go.go v yoOn SPL 09 MapTest Set6 - An extremely entertaining game ending with the elimination of yoOn.
- BeSt v Crazy-Hydra SPL 09 MapTest Set4 - A back and forth ZvP showcasing several great plays and the positional use of the narrow pathways.
