Really surprised they brought back Plasma, I was joking around the other day about how fun this map was and should be on Ladder lol. Should make for some interesting games!

Really wish they'd cycle out FS or Circuit Breaker, but at least we got some interesting maps for this season. F to Sylphid though.

In my opinion I think it's time that poly just replaces FS for everything, no reason to have both in any map pool. I'm okay with CB sticking around as a second noob-friendly 4p macro map. I do think adding Plasma is fucking crazy, the map is horribly imbalanced and even progamers don't want to play it despite it being in the ASL map pool.

I understand the grief for Sylphid.

But all this hate for FS... It's like the sun of the map-pool planetary system. You don't know what you owe this map. Accept it already, it's gonna be in there forever.

Plasma though... it's like they want to set up an obstacle course, then tie everyone's feet together and see what happens...

Polypoid is terrible. I cant believe they remove sylphid that is the best map made in years and the most played map. Koreans love to play in sylphid.They also keep eclipse and added benzene. holyshit worst mappool ever. Not to talk about ringing sh*t but well is mostly the ASL mappool i guess.

Why is eclipse the bombastic version of the map on ladder?

In current version of polypoid, the top mineral in upper left corner of the base bugs if you build a depot on top of it.

Yeah, I really think they should've kept Sylphid and removed either CB or FS. Is there any chance they could still amend it? Can we petition Blizzard?

TBH, I think they could just use the map pool currently used by KCM. Looks like a nice balance of standard and non-standard, 2P, 3P and 4P.

I don't really understand this sentiment, by your logic we should also have Lost Temple, Luna and Python in the map pool because they all played a similar role as FS historically? The map is outdated, outplayed, imbalanced and basically not used in any serious league, it's time to let it go like we did the previously mentioned maps.

I do think a VERY easy and quick solution is to just replace plasma with sylphid in the current map pool, it would be a huge improvement and almost 0 effort. Both 3 player maps as well.

I think the KCM map pool would work great. It's ASL10 + Sylphid. It's got two standard 4p maps (Polypoid and Shakuras), two non-standard 4p maps (Optimizer and Bloom) and two 3p and 2p maps.

Optimizer is an abomination, it is the most broken tvz map in sc:r history, it doesn't belong on any ladder or in any tournament.
