Season 4 started

[TA]

After reviewing player feedback, we’ve selected a 1v1 map pool composed of tournament-configured maps for the upcoming Season 4 of the StarCraft II ladder.



Six of the eight total maps in the Season 4 1v1 map pool will be maps that have been used in tournaments around the world. In addition, Shattered Temple and Metalopolis will be returning to the map pool, with close spawn positions disabled. Two non-tournament maps -- Abyssal Caverns and Nerazim Crypt -- will also be included. Players can veto these two non-tournament maps and still have a single veto remaining for the remaining maps, just as a player would in a major tournament.



These maps will be removed:

Backwater Gulch
Searing Crater
Typhon Peaks



These maps will form the new 1v1 map pool:

Abyssal Caverns (non-tournament)
Antiga Shipyard
Metalopolis (close spawns disabled)
Nerazim Crypt (non-tournament)
Shakuras Plateau
Shattered Temple (close spawns disabled)
Tal’darim Altar LE
Xel’naga Caverns



Depending on the feedback we receive regarding this approach to the 1v1 ladder map pool, we may move further toward a tournament-configured map format in future ladder seasons. We look forward to hearing what you think, and we hope you all have a great Season 4!

I finished Rank 1 Silver with 38 wins 1v1 & Rank 19 Silver with 25 wins with Cucu~

I know I suck. I'm getting better though!

..sorta

Wow, amazing. Blizzard followed the trend of no close spawns. Another season of being Diamond went by. I wonder when can I get to Masters...

[TA]

-__-"... I did my placement match this season (and won it btw) and it put me at the bottom of Bronze. How the **** can I go from rank 1 silver to the bottom of bronze?! Such bull****...
:mad2:

[Cucurbita]

I'm going to live stream this Thursday after classes for my placement matches :D

[Random]

Why would you do that?

Supply Depots lowering should be an upgrade.

[BobYoMeowMeow]

Terran building lift off should be an upgrade

[Cucurbita]

Lucky ****er.

Waiting on HoTS mostly because of the new Zerg stuff. Since its the only race I'm good at. Problem is, I suck at multi-structure production. Its easier just to get all of your units out of a single type of structure.

Just 4 gate yourself all the way to masters. Spam those games.

[Cucurbita]

TA and I landed silver again for 2v2, lol.

Had some good wins though so I'm happy with today's results.

Terran 111 says hello!

I seriously forget to produce stuff out of my gates. Unlike hatcheries, I just check every 10 seconds.

Anyone ever find themselves running out of room to place production structures in the later stages of the game?

I run into that a lot this season...

You only building them in your main?

[Cucurbita]

Most mains are pretty big to boot, imo...

I dunno how you can run out of space.

It's pretty easy when you worry about building placement and units being able to run in and out of your base to defend without the buildings getting completely in the way.

Maybe on a map like xel naga.

I dunno, more than half the maps that you see on ladder seems to give you HUGE ass amounts of space in the main.

My initial pylon/gateway/cybercore are either blocking my expo or my main off, then the ones to mass will be in the main part of the base and there's plenty of room, and that's just the main.

edit: Zerb never has room problems...

I guess the problem is probably with terran, but iono. Don't play that broken op ****ter race.

It depends on the race too

You can play some Fastest Possible to lrn2organize.

I am organized...

I realize that most mains have a big area to start, but once you have 10+ raxes with add-ons, 2 starports, 1 factory, 2 engineering bays, and supply depots, plus other buildings to unlock other units, you have to start laying out buildings outside your natural.

[wolfram]

You only building them in your main?

Main, Natural, 3rd and 4th's. Outside my base, lol anywhere that has room and won't block my army movement too much.

I will say that about 80% is stacked inside my main.

[Random]

That's normal.

[Lolicon]

You can use buildings for better walloffs.
