HQ rush is too relevant, especially with Sami as opponent.

The distance between the factories on both sides is only 13 spaces, only spam tanks and using mountains and
artillery to snipe the enemy, locking in the ownership of the tower.

The third comment has already well explained the issue with this map, without interesting matches

I don't think this map is worth A-Rank. If given the opportunity, I wouldn't want to play this map again

The map making community really needs to take a step back and reevaluate some things about map making theory for this
game. Putting comm towers in highly contested areas IS a good idea overall, yes, but putting them in too much of a
competitive area often leads to one player easily being able to get 'their comm tower' and at the same time on the other side
of the map the other player not being able to take 'theirs' due to cap interrupting. This map, among many others, has that
very specific problem. It was extremely easy for me to build up a big advantage over my opponent that snowballed and
snowballed until I won simply by just taking my comm tower uninterrupted and stopping my opponent from taking theirs, and
eventually taking it for myself.

comm towers need to be a garaunteed initial cap for both sides while also remaining in contested areas. Basically, the
beginning stages of a match should always ensure both players have 1 comm tower before reaching the mid game and the
big fighting starts. this is a big problem most maps these days just don't do well. It gives one player a huge advantage.

I like the map. Frontswitching is very easy and you have to make decisions early on, for example whether to focus the comm
tower or to secure an income advantage. The strong side/weak side mechanic is properly balanced by placing the weak side
base closer to the center. I understand everyone who doesn't like the map but I certainly do. A-Rank is definitely deserved.
9/10

the com tower are so contested, they kind of become HQs at this point
