There's a new GSL map, Bel'Shir Beach - might be a fun one to try.

I just tried playing a few games on this map - and as cool as it looks, I find it quite terrible particularly in PvZ. For one, it's not easy to make the standard simcity at the choke because it's designed the same way as Tal'darim's choke - and any Protoss player who's played on that map in PvZ knows how awkward it is to place buildings at the choke on that map assuming you're not forge FEing. Secondly, the natural is hard to defend - there's two entrances to cover so it's hard to forge FE on this map, but also 3 gate expand can be tricky because you need to eye two chokes at once for some roach/ling bust shenanigans. At least Delta Quadrants allowed a protected expansion, although blocked by rocks. And lastly, no Xel'Naga towers :(.

So yeah, cool map visually, not so cool gameplay-wise for me.

I'll play, but yet again I may or may not be late depending on how well I do in a single elimination tournament I'm playing on Fri/Sat. Basically I'll be late if I win my next two bo3's, played against people near my skill level.

EDIT: No conflict for me, since I forgot my match tonight and got a forfeit. :cry:

Thanks for organizing another great tournament. My only request is if we could start them at least a couple hours earlier from now on. I don't like to stay up this late.
