same, I m not a fan of this choice. Also 76 is a remake of 815, which was considered an extremely unbalanced map. So we ll see whether the changes made it better...

Terran could go for Facts on the low ground on 76. Protoss will run into the same issue with getting their Goons out. Zerg seems least impeded by this, but in turn cannot us their 2nd Hatch to produce Lings if they decide to go for the quick island base…

[Ragnarok]Valkyrie/Kim Jin-tae, he's been making maps since the dawn of time.

ASTL stopped due to the University League content created by streamers.

It should start shortly after ACS, which is later this month. So ASL15 will likely start in February, unless something changes.

I'm stoked!! I love that ASL has such varied map pools from season to season. Can't wait to watch this one unfold!

Will BeSt continue to face plant in this ASL? Will Jaedong continue to step on 2 rakes at a time in this ASL? (my heart..)
w/e I'm rooting for Mini.
Cool maps. Hoping for some ggs.

815 was such a chad map that created so many great games over its 3 season run in the OSL. I can't see how the ASL does anything but benefit by throwing in novelties like this and we should be thankful.
Does any real fan of broodwar wish things like Sparkle or Inner Coven never happened?

Real fan of broodwar would wish StarCraft has only Fighting Spirit 1.3
And some people will wish more, StarCraft has only one unit, only one strategy, only one player.

Very cool that Heartbreak Ridge is back I wouldn't be surprised if maps are a little more difficult for T as they are doing so well lately (who's been watching KCM, very surprising!). Retro could become a classic.
Dark Origin reminds me a little of Match Point which was an awesome map to play and watch.

Big whataboutism, if you look at the maps in the various seasons of BWCL I have been in charge of, you will find such maps as sparkle and others, including a lot of NWMC ones. To say nothing of the old WGT map pools. As for the pro-scene, I liked those maps for the pro league (RIP), players practiced specific sniping builds on those it was great and very entertaining. And I find it cool for KCM and the like as well.
But having extremely imbalanced maps when you run into bo1 elimination matches in the group stage of an individual tournament is not the best and this is mostly my issue with such picks. Now 76 may have fixed some of the issues 815 had, and also the meta changed so it might turn out fine, but I d like some sort of pre ASL tournament where we (and the ASL staff too) could see a bunch of the maps in action and then pick from that list.
edit: or bo3 for all sets in the group stage, i d be fine with that too and weird maps
