Mappool for PGL08 announced
The administration of the third PGL season officially announced the final mappool for their tournament. It includes seven maps, including three new ones. Four maps: Twisted Meadows, Terenas Stand, Echo Isles, and Secret Valley are well known from patch 1.21, the previous edition of this event and also from other tournaments; the others are from the upcoming 1.22: Melting Valley, Tidewater Glades and Snow Drop.
List of the maps looks as follows:
Twisted Meadows
Terenas Stand
Echo Isles
Secret Valley
And three new maps from the patch soon to come:
Melting Valley
Tidewater Glades
Snow Drop
MV and TG are winners of a mapmaking contest which Blizzard had organised, and so they are included into the beta version of 1.22 patch. At first glance MV is similar to SV including mines, shops and other elements from the map. The style of the TG looks similar to TR. There are also mercenary camps with strong mercenaries at a player's disposal. The key to win will be propably those new key areas. Snow Drop is a map also included in the Afreeca Warcraft League. The player spawn points are a long distance from each other. Inbetween, we can find shops, camps and more.

Yey Maps. But that would mean that the patch would be out by then right? Nice.

3 new maps, would be awesome to see some suprising tactics there :)
And hopefully new human tactics, less towers :D | |
Melting Valley:
The word "melting" is used properly here as this maps has parts of gnoll wood (the golems), twisted meadows (the merc camp) and turtle rock (merchant shop). It's nice to have a different taleset as I am bored from all those green grass all over. The map is quite big for a 1v1 map and I think there will be great games. Probably it will be most suitable for humans but who knows, the creeps guarding the mines aren't easy. Good map Snowdrop 1.0: Another winter tileset, nice. Map looks quite strange at first sight. And it is strange at second sight too. But strange in a good side. I see this map as a replacement for LT but (imo) it isn't so human/orc map as LT was. Expand on it is still easy but there is tavern, no fountain and very strange creeps I must add which is quite refreshing. I see the rocks guarding the orange creep spot preventing from militia abuse (or at least delaying it). The Satur Soulsla Tidewater Glades: Another new tileset, good! At first sight you can notice many red spots. Also the mines are placed in such a place that I think fast expand is suicidal here, not to mention that those mines are guarded by thunder lizard who has splash damage and clap. GG Militia. The spawns positions are similar to turtle rock. Like snowdrop, some creeps here are also guarded by rocks to prevent/delay militia and aow abuse. The red gold mine creeps are so hard that I doubt they will ever be crept in a 1v1 intense match. Anyway, this map, like snowdrop, will definitely inspire some great new strategies. It's my favorite from all three. Let's hope for some great games! This review has been written by: Sim4o-ToGa 3 hours ago @ www.sk-gaming.com : )))) | |
