The only truly contested properties are the two in the middle. Almost all the other ones have too favorable of a
reinforcement distance (taking into account 2bv1b for the corners) for one player.

The comm towers look like they can be denied for a while, but I believe long-term they're too favorable for the 2b and having
only shoals to interrupt from makes it impractical to continue to deny them.

As a result, this design is likely to lead to both players all-inning the middle, then stalling.

Note: The Hqs are also overly safe and really don't need a cruiser (or any blocker) with their current position.

Edit: applies to an old version of the map.

Are all those shoals there just to stick it to Koal?! There aren't even any landers or ports!

I can't confirm or deny that

Middle area still looks a bit too valuable and safe to maneuver IMO. Maybe change (08,08) and (09,08) to sea tiles to limit maneuverability just a bit? Neither the Com Towers nor the HQ appear to be contestable, maybe that could be changed as well.
EDIT: Upped to A-rank after changes - I think this one might work well for Live now

现在抢中优势更大了，扩大了FTA，后手非常容易因为海，而无法打破步兵墙。

既不适合live，也不适合A-rank
