[DK님께서 쓰신글] 2014년 시즌 1 맵

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/10787138839

We've been working together with our partners on this area, and would like to get your feedback before finalizing the details.

The main goals are:
1. We'd like to have a bigger map diversity.

We know some players and pros don't like the idea of map diversity because it's difficult to learn new strategies on different maps, but we strongly believe that this creates a better experience in both keeping the game feeling fresh as well as fun to watch. 

2. More maps rotated out per season in 2014, especially in the first season.

Because it's a new year, we'd like to bring in 4 new maps so that over half of the maps in the pool are fresh. Also, because each season will be much longer in 2014, we definitely would like to swap out more than 2 maps per season. Either 3 or 4 new maps per season is what we're currently thinking depending on how Season 1 goes.

Here are our detailed thought processes that we're currently in discussions with our tournament partners on.

map cuts:
Belshir Vestige, Whirlwind, and Akilon Wastes are cut due to them being in the map pool for so long.
Star Station for a similar reason. Trying out the 2 player version was fun, but the map itself isn't really all that different from the original map.
Derelict watcher as the last cut. It was a toss up between Derelict Watcher and Polar Night, but because Derelict is the older map, we're thinking this might just be the better map to cut.

map adds:
Alterzim Stronghold - this is the largest map we've had and plays very different from the others in the pool. We're finding that this map is good in the current ladder season and would like to at least try it for an official season as well.

Habitation Station - We also watched all of the Red Bull games, coordinated with Team Liquid, and realized this was the clear best map among those in the map contest. The way the high yield expansion plays in this map is very unique and different.

New GSL map - GSL is currently working on two new maps, and we're currently in the process of bringing one of them in here. This will be the only truly standard map of the 4 new maps going in.

New rush map - We also would like to try a rush map in a slightly different fashion than before. Our goal here is to create a map where the main to main distance is standard, nat to nat is only very slightly shorter, but due to it being really open, aggression is preferred. The map as a whole feels fairly standard but the action just happens much faster.

As you can see, not all the maps are prepared yet and are in progress, but we just thought it's important to share our thoughts with all of you as soon as possible for initial feedback on our direction, as well as to keep you posted on what's coming soon in this area. Thank you~

요약: 

1. 맵들의 다양성을 늘리고 싶다.

2. 2014년의 맵 수는 늘것. 특히 첫 시즌에는 반 이상의 맵이 신규맵. 한시즌에 2맵 이상씩 교체할것.(시즌당3~4 신규맵) 시즌의 간격이 더 넓어질것. (wcs처럼?)

제거되는맵: 

벨시르/돌개바람/아킬론: 너무 오래된 맵들이다.

우주정거장: 비슷한 이유.

외로운 파수꾼: 폴라나이트랑 둘중에 더 오래되서 제거함.

추가되는맵:

알터짐: 큰 맵이지만, 이번시즌에 괜찮아서 공식  시즌인 다음 시즌에도 킵.

Habitation station:레드불 토너먼트 신맵중 제일 좋았음.

신규 gsl 맵

신규 러시맵: 앞마당과 앞마당 사이는 일반 맵보다 조금 가까울 뿐이지만, 매우 넓은 지형으로 공격적인 양상이 나오는 맵이 추가됌.

이 맵들이 전부는 아니라고 하네요. 일단 피드백 받고 나머지를 고르겠다고.

저그 뒤지는 소리가 여기까지 들리네요 ^^

저그 접고싶다 진심

미친 어떻게 알터짐요새를 왜 남겨놔ㅡㅡ

언덕과 지형지물을 늘려서 저그를 죽여보겠습니다 ^오^

해비테이션 스테이션은 스칼렛이 잠맹으로 이겼던
