The other player who doesn't ban it and I can have fun playing it together haha I never ban any maps on ladder. I love different maps, I can't understand why people just only play on 1-2 boring maps like FS 1.3 or Poly 1.65 You can veto some maps, but you can't veto your skill. You have your rank, if you have 7-9 vetoes, you still stay your rank. | ||

i guess this is to get around the API loophole that devs have been using to access ladder games? | ||

That "loophole" could simply be closed with minimal effort and without affecting past cloud replays. I'm pretty sure this is about cost saving. Blizzard doesn't seem to have use of old replays, and they simply don't want to pay for the cloud storage. | ||

Just a small detail: we could have used Fighting Spirit 1.4, which makes use of the more balanced L-shaped minerals for left side spawns. Other than that, it is identical to FS1.3. The map was already played in a few foreign tournaments. | ||

It is a bit like Luna, Circuit Breaker or Phyton being "the map" during a certain time period. But it really feels like Fighting Spirit is so much past its prime.. For me personally (I veto it 99% of the time) it feels almost as weird as if Pyhton or Lost Temple would be in the ladder map pool. Other than that.. as long as Vermeer or Polypoid are in the pool we have "iconic" maps.. I think we are good in that lane.. | ||

So why don't you ban Fighting Spirit, that's the only map I had banned last season FS 1.3 is just a map, but this map is the most unfair map I've ever seen. Look at the picture, you see: if you are at 11 o'clock, you can't take your 3rd base at num1, it's so near your enemy, so hard to defend. You have to take it at num2, but it's so far to defend again, it's important you have no a narrow path to come num2. Regardless you choose num1 or num2, you still fall to bad condition to your enemy. Contradictory, you are at 1 o'clock, you are so easy to take your 3rd base at num3, it's safe, near and comfortable for move. This map just fair and balance when 2 players at cross each other. If not, one of player will win before buying the first worker. ![[image loading]](https://i.postimg.cc/HxJqb8p7/2.png) | ||

But it didnt age particular well. Im vetoing it 99% of the time. But if e.g. Polypoid isnt in the pool and FS is something about that just irks me.. | ||
