This map really puts you through your paces. It's been quite a while since I've played a map that was quite this intense. The key realization for the map is that you simply cannot afford to fight any of the Snow Golems and must kill them all before they wake up. This puts a lot of pressure on your build plan, as you generally need to keep a couple hundred gold in reserve to take out the next ones to wake up. It also makes for some frantic gameplay as you have to keep one eye out for the next Golem to wake up while also trying to make sure all of your chokepoints are doing okay.
Impressions
For all the difficulty of this map, it's really all about your build plan - balancing building out towers with killing Snow Golems. Once you have the right plan down most all heroes do pretty well, with the better ones just making it that much easier. Still, I did give 'B's to Veruk, Oloch, and Jun'pai because they suffered DPS problems that made some sections harder. One of the biggest challenges of the map are the Frost Giants in wave 2. Veruk and Jun'pai struggle with their physical, single-target DPS here, and while Oloch has magical DPS he still struggles to take them down in a reasonable time.
