StarCraft 2 Map Pool for MLG Dallas

The following is a list of the maps that will be used at MLG Dallas, as well a detailed description of the changes MLG has made to these maps, where applicable.

MLG Metalopolis*
MLG Scrap Station
MLG Shakuras Plateau*
MLG Shattered Temple*
MLG Xel'Naga Caverns*
MLG ICCup Testbug*
MLG GSL Crossfire SE

*A building blocker has been added to the ramps of each of the starred maps, at each ramp closest to the main's natural expansion. This blocker prevents the ramp from being blocked by the current standard amount of buildings (e.g., three pylons, two bunkers, etc.). Examples: Metalopolis, Shakuras Plateau, Testbug, Xel'Naga Caverns.

Starting spawns on Metalopolis and Shattered Temple have been modified to prevent close ground spawns.

Starting spawns on Shakuras Plateau have been modified to ensure cross-map spawns only.

To access this map pool, including the non-ladder maps, simply search for "MLG" on the StarCraft 2 map selection screen.


The thing that really interests me is blocking close ground spawns on Metaloplis and lost temple. MACRO GAMES GALORE!

Good. The long games are always more fun and interesting to watch.

I don't play a lot of SC2 but i know some of the basics. What does the blocker do? Just prevent people walling off their ramp or something else? I'm curious. =p

It is a Supply Depot thas has been lowered it stops people being cheese'd into their own base with Cannons/Pylons/Bunkers Makes the early game for Zerg much easier.
