I think the main concern with maps like Monty Hall and Triathalon is that it's next to impossible to get a meaningful practice game on these maps that don't/rarely see any map of the week action. So people vote for a map that they already know/know they can get practice games on. On the other hand "funky" maps can be a great excuse for a loss so players may want to factor that into their voting as well. Like, "hey i didn't know this map at all hope you lose next round" or "wtf Astral Balance is a better map than this piece of shi.t" Speaking of funky maps have you considered using the classic blizzard 2 player map "Crystallis." I think it would be a fine addition to this league. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://classic.battle.net/images/battle/scc/lp/bw02/cy.jpg) | ||

We should add that to the map pool. | ||

Also luna is an extremely bland map compared to wide selection of much better designed maps AND more exciting maps made after it. You can always do better than luna. | ||

While this was in jest I would rather see Nostalgia in place of FS too. Isn't the point of a map pool to have a variety of maps that require a variety of strategies? FS AND Toadstone is redundant. | ||

It's one of the most bland maps in the history of BW and is extremely dated Maybe it's because most people didn't have to deal with playing it non-stop when it was released. | ||

If people want to play a fucked-up oldschool 4-player map, they should go with Gaia or Python. Or Neo Legacy of Char. The naturals on the left side of Luna are closer than the ones on the right side. DOES ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THIS OR ARE WE ALL TAKING CRAZY PILLS!? What about Sword In The Moon? ![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images/thumb/e/e4/186_Harmony.jpg/400px-186_Harmony.jpg) Or Tears Of The Moon? ![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images/thumb/3/3c/195_Tears_of_the_Moon.jpg/400px-195_Tears_of_the_Moon.jpg) THEY BOTH HAVE THE MOON IN THEIR NAME SO THEY'RE JUST AS GOOD AS LUNA. | ||

Most people arent familiar with it, wont get games on it, and wont understand the map, which is radically different than any other map in the pool. Yes, in a simplistic way its just a boring macro map, but no boring macro map plays at all the same way; fs/andromeda/luna for ex are all way different.Any decent old school player knows that luna is balanced, generic yet exciting map to play on, it leads to some very nice interesting games.
