island map Sparkle
One of the maps proposed for the Afreeca Star League season 5 (ASL5) is an island map: Sparkle. In my 2016 post on novelty maps I wondered whether it was possible to balance an island map using modern map-balancing tricks. Sparkle is a serious attempt to do that, and I’m interested. At the moment, the public is voting to help decide which maps will be included in the tournament.

All the tricks used are for nothing.
Both protoss and terran can slide a worker through eggs and go for cheap 14 expansion.
Zerg cannot attack that nor expand to a 3rd until lair+drop is upgraded.
This cannot go well for zerg, especially vs sair + reaver.
If this does not work then ximp style carrier cannon is a easy win.. carriers just cannot be beaten here.
In TvZ I think that mass goliaths + some valkyries should seal the deal as well.

Could you give me some pointers? (you can use hex format if you like :-))
