BoX series with winner chooses the map AND 7 map map-pool? Yeah, this is the most retarded thing ever, and I am sure some imbecile at blizzard thinks that more the maps the better, the way they pushed it heavily in SC2, and now we get the same shit from I bet the same retard. THE FEWER THE MAPS THE BETTER THE GAMES HOW IS THAT SHIT HARD TO GRASP? WILL A PROGAMER COME WITH PREPARED STRATEGY FOR A MAP XxxxxX IF THERE IS A 4/7 CHACE IT WONT BE PLAYED? REALLY? I GUESS YOU COULD SAY HE CAN WIN 1 GAME THEN CHOOSE THE MAP BUT SERIOUSLY, TOURNAMENTS ARE NOT LADDER, BLIZZARD. FUCK YOU. I will boycott KSL, fuck this. Liquid'Nony's wise words on the topic of map pools from the time of 9 map mappools in SC2. | ||

It's too tough on them to prepare good builds on many maps, you see. Which leads to overall lower quality of games. That the winner chooses next map also does not seem to help the competitive nature because winner can and usually chooses a map on which his race is favored to win thus making entertainment miserable compared to "loser chooses and maps are few" format. | ||

Possible. AfreecaTV is where they get their money (regular money). That doesn't explain Effort missing it out. (Is he actually popular?) Still I'm happy we have a decent 'alternative' cast in KSL. Should be fun, still plenty of great names in there. | ||

So preparing one or two new maps for a new tournament is too much to expect nowadays (and maybe polish play on one or two more old ones that where also added new to the current ladder/tourney pool)? KSL uses the current ladder map pool on top of that, so that's two birds, one stone. Compare that to the old Kespa days with two individual leagues and and a teamleague that would each introduce 3+ maps for every new season. Of course there's no hard-core secret team-house practice any more, but how many games do you actually need to get a feel for a new map (assuming it does not deviate too far from the usual variety of 4p macro maps)? The ability to adapt to new maps is one of the skills a good RTS player should have and its only good for BW as a spectators sport if some wonky games and crazy prepared strategies are strewn in between the usual series of long macro games and anti-climactic breaking strategies. | ||
