The Abyssal Caverns are a landform on Monlyth.

Game Map[]

The caverns serve as a multiplayer map in StarCraft II. It was released in 2011 season 3.[1][2]

By season 4, it was a non-tournament map.[3]

It will be removed from the ladder in season 5.[4][5]

There are numerous starting locations of varying types, and strategy depends on which type of location a player starts in. There are also an unusually large number of attack paths.[1]

The distance is very close in match ups other than being diagonal from each other. Thus, scouting and rushing are a lot easier than on most maps. Multiple destructible rocks are found, so zerg could have a problem with it.
