    It seems Blizzard have removed both Desert Oasis and Kulas Ravine from the ladder system, and replaced them with Jungle Basin (1v1) and Shakuras Plateau (2v2)

    Jungle Basin
    Shakuras Plateau

    Haven't played the maps myself yet, but am sorry to see Kulas Ravine go, I enjoyed playing that map. However I won't be losing any sleep over Desert Oasis getting the boot, I hated that map, even more so when they added the extra rocks.

    I very much approve of the smiley face at the bottom middle of Shakuras Plateau

    Shakuras is annoying. you can only cliff jump from the natural, meaning it's really easy to defend...

    Liking the setup for the Jungle Basin map, pretty impressive

    I loved Desert Oasis, rush distance for voidies was amazing.. Kulas Ravine was a great map too :mad: why do they do this to us !

    Played my first match on Shakuras Plateau earlier today, managed to beat a protoss who tried to pylon warp into my base.

    Apparently on this map you will never spawn on vertical positions with your opponent, it will always be cross positions or horizontal.

    Jungle basin looks to be another Zerg graveyard with the exposed thirds... Best P build for SP is 3gate stargate 3 void ray back and pressure front probably.

    I see the new maps come with new notes on the latest, upcoming patch. Seems the Zerg are getting a slight buff (roach range + building health), Terrans are getting kicked in the fork a little bit - Rax needs a depot built first.
