[-] Crazy item at first super small camp (pendant, claws +9 etc)
OVerall okay creeps and normal map structure.
Interesting idea with 8k gold expos which gonna affect a lot games 2 vs 1 base in favor of 1 base player like NE vs HU or UD vs hu. I would like to try it.

Ponds
[-] Expo is super far away
Mid camps can be a bit farther away from each other. Now they are too close to each other which makes 2 wards a bit useless and also easy to creep for UD or hu.
Overall i would like to try this map.
