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)

Would be interesting to look back and see how and why peoples' initial impressions differed from reality.

that actually would be pretty cool, just need someone to write the code

No, some of them do not qualify into the Proleague mappool. 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.
Well they've never released maps this early for download before soooo maybe they are ?

on the contrary, maybe they're releasing them early so the public can test them and get a good feeling of the main flaws or corrections that should be made?

These maps look freakin' awesome, already played some games on them. I think Judgement Day and Match point are going be the maps we see everywhere on Iccup, kinda like how Destination/Python are now.

Hardly any of these maps seem to work, whenever I make people can't dl them, with the exception of asgard, roadrunner, moon glaive and match point so far.

So Asgard is a really low mineral map?? Isn't that really bad for Protoss.. ;;;

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

I'm really excited for these. The 2 player maps particularly look exciting. Can't wait for the season to start!

with the benefit of hindsight I think that we should have a topic for each map to allow a broader discussion

Hi, could anyone please tell me what [TR] and [Ob] stand for with the maps? Cause I have 3 maps that look exactly the same to me. I can't figure it out.

Thank you in advance.

TR is training where you select your position to practice,
Obs is for a version that has observer slots,
and the last one is just the normal version of the map.

[TR] = Training Mode, you can pick which location you spawn at in UMS settings.
[Ob] = Observer Mode, this is what people use when they host obs game under UMS settings.

Looks like terran dominance for once. It's been a while since that was last time. Well some map might end up being completely unplayable for TvZ or TvP and that might break the entire dominance thing so I guess it's too early to tell. But on paper they look fantastic. Bear in mind that this is coming from a guy that thought Battle Royal looked like the most fun map of the last batch and outsider looked like crap.

Protoss had a season, Zerg had a season. Guess it's Terran's turn now hahaha.

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