are the msl/osl going to be using the same maps?
they will take a few, then add in one or two of their own maps (holy world, byzantium 3, carthage 3 for example)

For example, Central Plains was a part of the previous batch of Proleague maps and it was never played on in televised matches (which I am incredibly grateful for since the map featured the most disgusting characteristic of all....in-game advertisement -.-). Anyway, the maps are first tested by a group of progamers. Then a few progamers are chosen to test them, which allows the mapmakers to fine tune them and pick which ones go into the mappool. Only then are they used in actual televised matches. | ||

And some of those other maps that have really low gas too, that's supposedly really unfavorable for zerg right? | ||

Obs is for a version that has observer slots, and the last one is just the normal version of the map. | ||

[Ob] = Observer Mode, this is what people use when they host obs game under UMS settings. edit: im stupid and slow | ||

To be honest, these look hilarious. They're basically BWMN.net. Never thought I'd see maps like this in progaming. | ||
