Starcraft 2 - Season 2 and new maps

For season 2, which is soon to start, developer Blizzard has presented the new battlefields in Starcraft 2.

Different conditions await you in the form of space stations up to alien planets with different mineral deposits. Many of the new cards come from the 8th card competition from Team Liquid. The well-known Starcraft fansite regularly holds competitions in which ambitious card makers can send in their creations and win up to 1000$. Of course, the greatest glory is when the Blizzard map is used in the official leaderboard and hundreds of thousands of players play their matches on it.

Starcraft 2 - start of the 2nd season

The new cards are available for the start of the 2nd season 2017, which will begin on May 2nd. From April 25th the ranking is blocked and the players can no longer be promoted or relegated. The so-called MMR, the rating for player allocation, continues to change. The second season begins a week later.

1v1 cards

Trial of Aiur - The macro map took 2nd place at Team Liquid and offers a narrow center with extensive outdoor areas. Thanks to the basic layout, there are many expansion options available

Boiling blood - Comes from the category "Experimental Resources" and offers several bases with increased mineral deposits that have fewer Vespingeysirs. A well-protected expansion near the main base is also not lacking.

Landing of the defender - Comes from the "Rush" category of the Team Liquid card competition and offers fast action due to the short distance.

Odyssey - The winner of the last card competition. The card offers variable games in which both aggressive and defensive methods lead to victory. Bases with unusual amounts of resources, such as 3 Vespingey siren, also provide variety.

sequence - Another finalist from Team Liquid. Due to the unusual geometric design, many attack paths are open to both players. Destructible rocks also give the opportunity to open up new paths.

Team cards

2vs2 cards

Overgrown plant - The map requires a good coordination with your partner, the choice of whether you block the ramps to your base or wall up the big bottleneck together can decide between victory and defeat. On the offensive you have to decide between a frontal attack and flanking. The gold bases on the map are difficult to defend.

Exile of the traitor - Offers an extensive battlefield in the middle of the map where large armies can fight huge battles. Note the destructible rocks that can open up new avenues of attack.

3v3 cards

Bastion of the Conclave - In addition to the 4 natural expansions, the island expansion should not be forgotten.

Secret base 2E - Access to the expansions can be secured fairly quickly and then your opponent stands in the way of the battle for the center of the map and the rich expansions located there. A well-coordinated approach with your partners is vital.

4v4 cards

Last tracks and "Old Estate“The new 4 versus 4 cards, both share a common ground with many expansions close at hand, giving you the choice between economic buildup or a quick rush.
