Featuring timed lava surges and collectable mineral caches, Burning Tide is a 3v3 map that combines several thematic elements from the epic single-player campaign mission "The Devil's Playground." Like the campaign mission, the goal of this game is greed, and the first team to reach the specified resource total wins! Players hoping to achieve victory on this map will need to work together, carefully managing their team's unit production and safeguarding their vulnerable workers as they defend against enemy forces.

Check out Burning Tide now in the custom games list in the game client.

New Blizzard Custom Map: Burning Tide - StarCraft II

Not a bad map idea in the cat's opinion
gonna be fun harrassing your opponent's workers
but you'll have to watch your own base and use of minerals.

it depends on how much minerals you have at the moment, not how much u collected.
meaning if u buy a bunch of expensive units and they're trashed,
you're screwed.

Does this mean everyone's gonna be playing as terran in these maps (what with the lift off ability of command centers), or anyone with me in thinking that perhaps the Nexus and Hatcheries can survive the lava somehow :?

the cat thought command centers no longer can lift off in sc2

Only planetary fortresses can't, orbital and normal command centers still fly XD

since this is a custom map, maybe they've removed that for balancing

Oh God, it's based on that level. Well, it wasn't that hard to beat, but just imagining playing against others on that level with those rules makes me scared.
