I would like to see 6 semi island/island map and 1 ground map. I think this way will save Protoss at highest level.

Although I play Terran and TvT is my best matchup, I also like watch TvT most. I said more times, if StarCraft remove Protoss and Zerg, this game is the best eSports ever made all time.

yeah, a map pool with sparkle, inner coven, 815, hall of valhalla, forbidden zone, dream of balhae and fighting spirit would be fucking amazing! i wonder why tournaments haven't done it in the past!

Fantasy and Flash.
Not to inflame the Tesagi fellows, but I believe every game suffers when its best player isn't participating.
I'm also OK with more crazy maps and non-T favored maps.
Would be nice if Larva made an appearance, although that won't help the Protoss cause at all

Jangbi. And complete island maps.
And I don't think Protoss is saved by island maps. If anything it's the Zerg. The overlord becomes the MVP of the match.

Zerg is historicly weak on island maps. Thats why they made sparkle like they did.

Don't have to be island maps.
Just 10 mineral patches in main, no backdoors to main/natural, vulnerable & distant 3rd will already go a long way.

Good suggestion in the OP. Protoss needs something. They're getting wrecked. It may not super help Protoss but I'd love to see Blue Storm brought back into map pools. Super fun map.

P.S. I hate TvT. It's the only matchup I won't watch. Super boring 90% of the time imo. Hoping for anything but a TvT finals again.

The commonly held belief is that brood war is best balanced through maps. If so I want to see maps that help toss stop hydra busts.

I'd like to see more maps with a ramp to the natural. Main+Natural are on the high ground.

I want to see more TvT, since it's the least luck-reliant and most skill-based matchup in the game and allows strategy to flourish like it should (since this is a real-time strategy game, after all.) Just make every map favour Terran so we can filter out the other races.

Real answer: better, less gimmicky/whacky maps that seem to be autolosses in certain matchups, and better players (this obviously won't happen, but I sure do miss the good old days when pros were at their peaks.)

Soundproof booths
Bo3 for winners/losers/finals in the Ro24
maybe removal of Bo7s (too long, less interesting cheese/strategic builds, less room for upsets).

edit - some kind of map pool that dissuades hydra busts because the pvz meta is SO stale... Not sure exactly what this would be though. I'm guessing maybe something like God's Garden? Free backdoor expo and easy regular nat? No idea though.

I heard Scan say once that when bases have more minerals in the main or natural, that tends to favor protoss in all matchups. I wonder if just adding a couple of mineral patches to the main base of some maps would do it.

Generally, I'd be stoked to see some maps with funky mineral and gas layouts. Like a 2nd geyser in the main that you need 6 workers to mine from effectively that is covered by air by hold-position hostile neutral valks.

In fact, hostile neutral units could be added in creative ways to enable otherwise imbalanced map layouts.
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
