The new Bacchus OSL has begun, and with new faces hoping to take an individual title comes new maps.
Meet Holy World:
Isn't he cute? Now let's get to his features. And no, you're not looking at Act IV from Diablo II, this is a brand spanking new Star League map.
At first glance this is clearly a macro oriented map, as if God's Garden wasn't enough. However, this map has a few tricks up its sleeves.
There are inverted ramps into the mains, similar to Byzantium II. The gases in the mains are spaced so that they cannot be harassed from the surrounding cliffs, only the mineral line can be annoyed. The natural expo speaks for itself, but the 2nd expo is strange, as the mineral line for it actually walls off access to your back cliffs, so expo there at your own risk. Also there's a mineral only in the corners.
The middle area is very spacious, so expect large battle there. Respectively, since the mains are designed to be valley-like, drop plays are sure to anger workers everywhere.
Now for the fun stuff. At the tips of the pentagram in the center are Disruption Webs. Yup, they are real Disruption Webs. They function just like the regular webs that you only used one time in the campaign. They could possibly make Terran slow pushes somewhat difficult, but are most likely just really shiny decorations.
At the very center is a Command Center which is, in fact, infestable. Which is important to note, because Infested Terran are AWESOME and they could quite possibly be seen in a Pro game! It's a possibility, who knows if it will actually happen. And if it does, maybe they can create a map that lets you use Ghosts effectively...nah.
