I like the return of Bloody Ridge, that map is awesome. I'm still salty about Block Chain returning instead of Whiteout though :\

Still bummed that they ditched Whiteout, there was certainly place for that map in this big map pool.

I really like ro16 changes (in other hand I preffered tiebreaker system like in S1) although not sure if they needed to make finals bo7. If you're against FlaSh odds of winning decrease even more. Comeback potential is at maximum hardest.

this whole format change sounds pretty amazing and I'm all for it!

what I hate though is that Neo Sylphid is going to be played AGAIN instead of Whiteout.. god damnit, why no Whiteout? That was one of the better maps made in last couple of years, actually.. Sylphid is pretty standard and boring, tbh..

what a shame

Well, they recycled blockchain (could have used Whiteout instead, but whatever) and added two far-from-standard new maps, so maybe in a rare fit of sanity in map pool design they probably figured to keep the rest floating around more standard, which whiteout is almost but not quite, so it got dropped. Or they just rolled a dice, what do I know. Excited to see Overwatch though. First foreign-made map in ASL!

Nice, is Flash going to participate?
Haven't watched much ASL since Effort won, any good games from season 7?
Has foreign StarCraft hit rock bottom?

Keep it nasty, brutish, and short.


if players don't want to play on certain maps, they can just simply veto them.
only an issue for the ro8 onwards, if it even is an issue at all.

So would it be vetoes then a determined map order, or loser picks? And perhaps I’m just some salty old man who’s disapproved of every change since the 4th place finisher didn’t have to requalify for the OSL.

And I’m still alive and kicking, although I was a largely absent lurker for quite a bit. HOTS really took any sort of joy out of StarCraft for a minute.

I would take Whiteout over Block Chain any day.. and I think any sane person would, too.. Map pool is overall decent, but I would definitely drop both Neo Sylphid because it's just boring and Block Chain because it's just bad.

Yay for Overwatch indeed.

Players each ban 1 map than it's random map order. At least I think that's what it says, my Korean kinda chobo :S

Ro24:
Set1&Set2: Multiverse
Winners&Losers: Sylphide
Decider: Ground Zero

Ro16:
Set1&Set2: Tripod
Winners&Losers: drawn out of mappool (minus Tripod and 1 ban for each player)
Decider: drawn out of mappool (minus Tripod and 1 ban for each player)

Ro8&Ro4:
drawn out of mappool (minus 1 ban for each player)

Final: all maps, random order

Same to me, now I know how hard it is to dominate Starcraft.
Terran is a very hard race to play.

I wonder if there's enough time for Bisu to participate (if he would), doesn't he leave the military in like 2 months?
