Because terrans dont punish protosses for those builds and as i said 10++ carriers = autowin if you have good income to replaces interceptors.

yeah I think its because of the maps
also, when the new maps are going to be announced ? at the end of the season
New maps for OSL and MSL should be announced when they start in earnest (Ro16 for OSL and Ro32 for MSL). There won't be new Proleague maps until August or September or whenever the next season starts.
i'm not saying it should be an every-game scenario, it's just that i don't see a lot of terrans (with the rare exception of hiya) pulling off aggressive 2 base plays (and hiya's play is really paying off), which i think would be really good against 3 base protosses, who usually have only 4 gateways by the time terran pushes out with 5 factory worth of units.

OSL and MSL maps might be announced soon, but for proleague, it'll be before the start of the next season

Getting an ob into the terran base pretty much gives it away, especially since you have less turrets than normal. After that the toss only needs to cut some probes and add gates to defend in time. Then it's basically over. I think it only works if you've damaged Protoss early. In a straight up game, it's difficult to get it to work.
