As per Management normal, there are three totally different factors on the map that gamers can battle for, and the colours and vibes of Samoa are very a lot the other of the final Management map, Antarctic Peninsula. Vibrant, sunny, and extremely popular on one of many factors, the antithesis to the ice-covered shivers that the earlier map offers.
