Overview

Typhon Peaks is one of the new larger, four-player maps that Blizzard added to the ladder map pool. Used in the GSTL 2, it was not picked up for the next season of GSL.

Official Map Description

Watch Towers overlook the center of the map. Destroying rocks will provide for additional attack paths and expansion locations.

Notable Features

• Backdoor - Destructible rocks block the ends of a low-ground path connecting vertically opposite naturals.
• Low-ground Third - An expansion on low ground has one ramp convenient to the natural and one, blocked by rocks, leading to the center.
• Central Towers - Two watchtowers in the center are obscured by brush and backed by cliffs.
• Shrubs in Main - These shrubs in the main make it possible for proxies, drops, or Nydus Worms to occur.
• Outward-facing ramp - This makes a Forge Fast Expand for Protoss significantly harder to execute as extra buildings are requires to wall-off against Zerg.
