(2) Cross Game 1.07 (2) Overwatch 2.2 (3) Medusa 2.2 (4) Fighting Spirit 1.3 (4) Circuit breakers 1.0 (4) In the way of an Eddy 1.06 (4) Colosseum 2.0 Preliminaries will be: Game 1 - (4) Fighting Spirit 1.3 Game 2 - (4) Circuit breakers 1.0 Game 3 - (3) Medusa 2.2 So, basically this season's ladder maps except (4) Ground Zero 2, was swapped out for (4) In the way of an Eddy 1.06. Can't say I am too happy about Colosseum or Cross Game. Edit, initially forgot to include (2) Overwatch 2.2.

(zerg bottom left, rally main hatch to right side of natural hatch [like 4-5 hex to the right of it], some units from main now stop inbetween the rally point and the ramp to the main.... they are about half a screen short of the rally point...) | ||

Even ELO-wise their worst match-up in both of these maps is a 54.5% advantage against Zergs on CS. CS and FS used to be balanced in 2012 or so, but today they're ridiculous Terran maps. I think it's telling the moment these maps disappeared from ASL, Terrans mysteriously began to underperform. Despite the popular narrative, 3rd World and Sparkle are only really bad for Zerg. I say bring in the new. | ||

I am happy to see FS make an appearance. I am really curious what the state of the meta will look like on FS since so many strategies have changed because of the awkward maps. | ||

Just by saying third world are really bad for Zerg and not for Terran tvp I can’t take your post serious at all + you are cherry picking statistics from cb/fs show where what your stats pulled? | ||

afreeca hasn't used FS since ASL4 and CB was only used in ASL6 after not being in use for 2 seasons, they're really trying to not use them. | ||

Afreeca is trying to break the FS/CB obsession but KSL is blizzard, and blizzard has made it clear that they will and have embraced it.I understand for ladder, but i don't recall them saying anything for tourney play. afreeca hasn't used FS since ASL4 and CB was only used in ASL6 after not being in use for 2 seasons, they're really trying to not use them. | ||

Yeah that's true, I guess I just want more than 1 actually new map if the map pool is going to have SIX maps haha. I appreciate that KSL is trying to differentiate itself from the ASL by using more standard maps and having Bo5s in the group stages and whatnot, and I suppose the standard maps are there to make playing so many BoXs a little easier to prepare for. Honestly assuming they definitely want to keep FS/CB, I'd be happy if they replaced Eddy or Colosseum with 1 more new map or at least another older 2/3 player map. | ||
