Welp Season 4 is finally upon us (later in the day or tomorrow for EU) and they did change the 1v1 map pool!!  Nice!

These maps will be removed:

(Wiki2)Backwater Gulch
(Wiki2)Searing Crater
(Wiki2)Typhon Peaks

These maps will form the new 1v1 map pool:

(Wiki2)Abyssal Caverns (non-tournament)
(Wiki2)Antiga Shipyard
(Wiki2)Metalopolis (close spawns disabled)
(Wiki2)Nerazim Crypt (non-tournament)
(Wiki2)Shakuras Plateau
(Wiki2)Shattered Temple (close spawns disabled)
(Wiki2)Tal’darim Altar LE
(Wiki2)Xel’naga Caverns

 

Pretty happy about seeing a few different maps.  I'd have to look but I think I have never or rarely won a match on Searing Crater so I'm glad that thing is gone lol nothing specific about that map that I can think for my losses but I just become flooded with negative thoughts whenever it pops up lol

I'm really going to study these maps and make (or steal) a solid strategy for each.  Tomorrow's blog will start the map discussions - get us all ready for season 4!

Played some team games last night with my RL friends.  Didn't go overly great for me personally but whatever.  I always feel kind of "meh" about the team games.  So I don't know - meh.  :)

I started playing the Single Player on the weekend lol I've had this game for over a year and haven't played the story yet.  so far it is ok but nothing special - I'm only maybe 4 or 5 missions in.  I hate playing Terran - it's the race I dislike the most.  Not even sure why - just doesn't appeal to me.

Missed Kings of Tin last night but they were playing Nik Lentz (UFC fighter) so I want to check that archive out whenever it hits.  Watching E3Demuslim on KOT over lunch today - he's a beast (even though he plays the wrong race :) ).  At the time of this recording he was ranked #1 Grand Master on the North American server and #1 Grand Master on European server - pretty bad ass.

BF3 dropped today.  I loved BFBC and BFBC 2 but I'm going to pass on the BF3.  I find it hard to want to play anything other than Starcraft 2 and my boys won't play BF3 with MW3 coming out in a couple of weeks.  So for now....pass.  Maybe I'll get burned out on SC2 and pick it up down the road (although I think I'd be more inclined to pick up Uncharted 3 instead).

What Biz says 100 percent. You might as well play warcraft. You're dead to me.

And if you don't get Uncharted 3 you'll be dead to Char.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.....and can't play more than 1 game at time lol I just can only get behind 1 game at a time - that's just how I roll. Char isn't as shallow as you - she'll still love me - Starcraft 2 warts and all.

Really - you haven't played BF3 - to claim a game is better or worse than a game you haven't played is Nixonian

It's the better genre - and the best in it's genre so by default....SC2 > BF3

Halo wars had to be better because you could play it on the Xbox 360 and it had Halo in the title.

that's not a game - it's a rite of passage....for pretty much everybody with a penis....or a strap on....and some barn yard animals.

Yea I have given up halo for the time being as well as SC2 has it's hold on me. Glad to see some new maps to mix things up as well.
