I played on this map and want to give some feedback and my personal opinion about this map.

OPINION
1. cochosgo has right about the main streets on this map. He may not used a good arguments and he didn't add any proposition to fix it but in main meaning he is right. They are the key of this map. Side that holds it rules the map and VPs. That could work in 1v1 gamemode but it's design to be 2v2.
2. Passages are quite narrow. Narrow enough to lock the side with 1 heavy MG and 1 AT gun. There is only 2 main streets that matters. That force players to focus support weapon, artillery and long range units. That leads to artillery feast later game which isn't pleasant, don't require a lot of skill from the player and games vs technicly weaker team can last way longer. Map isn't bad at early game but with time it becomes it in the later stages of a match.
3. Visually the map looks really nice, plenty of details that many basic maps lacks but that doesn't help Białystok Market to be competition map and definitely it's not a turney map.
4. Location of ammunition points is in both corners of the map. Becouse of the position of the bases makes it really hard to take from the oposite side. Of course there is a cut off on the center of the map - that's true but again, that\s to narrow design of the map and tactics uses on it (MG build or blobing) makes it hard to decap for long. That leads to the moment that both sides has constant income of ammo and a lot of off map abilities comming from a commanders which again isn't good.
5. Corners of the map are unused. Even if players will acually go to the enemy ammo point or territory near it - the retreat point will lead straight through mid there is the biggest clusterfuck (which basicly means dead squad). Again narrow design forces players to make big tactical groups (aka. blobs).
6. Even after big changes this map will never be a turney one like Rails and Metals, Crossing in the woods or Elst.
I WILL ADD MORE LATER

FEEDBACK
1. allow to move infantry between ruins (open mid VP for the infantry from north and south - currently it can be enter only from left and right),
2. move ammo point closer to the middle, center line of the map,
3. That may sound to drastical but i would also suggest change the side of the map. Make it wilder but in the same time a little shorter. There should be then enough space to move ammo points on to more competitive areas and allow players to move some forces from middle,
4. add more medium crush especially on left and right side,
5. channel on top right side - change the angle and size of it to be smaller.
I WILL ADD MORE LATER
