I was about to say, that is the only map I'm looking forward to
Grand Line looks like it would pump out some amazing games Hoping for good PvZ there

Polaris Rhapsody and Grand Line were the two to make the cut, replacing Neo Moon Glaive and New Tornado.

Probably the best choices. Ghost Path would have been cool to see though, it's so crazy. Really looking forward to seeing Grand Line.

More maps that highlight Siege Tank turtling and Terran imba. Sigh.
>_<
Grand Line looks like it might be good though...
|
Fortress looked too plain/stale. Too bad Ghost Path wasnt taken, though Grand Line might be the best in the choices.
|
Checkmate looks so tank-yummy Ghostpath...very promising map for mass air
=D cant wait for them to be played
*edit nvm* only 2 made the cut =o
|
I wish that they replaced all the maps (except maybe Fighting Spirit).
I really wanted to see Ghost Path
|
Wanted to see fortress and checkmate, I'm sure those would have produced some very interesting games.

They probably think its a pentagram.

God dammit why can't they just release these maps to the public whether they include them in a league or not? They all look awesome if only because they're strange and change the way the game might be played. Fuck balance. They should all be played professionally if only for one season.

Unfortunately with the volume of games that would be played on them balance and having a plethora of different viable playstyles is a must. We've seen what has happened when people have followed your line of thinking and in the long run it has not been enjoyable for viewers. Battle Royal, Raid Assault, and Geometry all come to mind as concept maps that seemed interesting but became very uninteresting very quick when they were dominated by one matchup in Proleague play.
That said it would be cool if all the maps that were play-tested were made available to the larger public.

Really looking forward to some games on grand line. I think the choices made were quite solid this time. I would have liked to see one of them replace roadrunner instead of new tornado. I absolutely hate that map.
|
I don't like Grand Line TvP but we'll see what the P's come up with. Thanks for the update as to which ones were chosen.
|
I wanted to see some games on ghost path but I am pretty glad checkmate didn't make it

Urgh, Match Point wasn't removed?
Wanted to see Ghost Path or Fortress (with some changes of course) making the cut as well, but the best two maps making it makes me real glad.
|
Really sucks, these 2 maps have hard third gasses and are nothing special.
Ghost Path should atleast have made the cut
|
hurrah my 2 most uncomfortable maps were replaced.
|
Inferno expo / main layout reminds me of roadrunner.
Anyway I think they chose the 2 best maps. Checkmate and fortress were stupid and felt like they were made by an amateur. Looking at both polaris and grandline tho, theres no easy 3rd gas on both of them. Doesn't look like fun TvP.
As for ghost path...tehres absolutely no way protoss will do anything other than carriers. Its impossible to get a good position against a terran army. Then again the map looks like it might stack up with katrina for carrier imba
|
It looks like it would be impossible for Protoss to fast expand versus Z on Ghost Path.
Either way I think the two maps they chose should be fairly interesting, I like Polaris Rhapsody more though.
