In previous encounters, eStar defeated BS, XROCK, Q9 and R.LGD on this map, with a score of 10-1, showing eStar's strength on this map. For both, this map will be a strong map of eStar, and KZ is only on this map with EP and BS Professor, and the record of 1 win and 1 loss clearly makes KZ slightly inferior to this map.
