Well.. there's four divisions, 6 in each, wich means 24 teams and every team has around at least 10 players. Not all of them plays ladder day in day out. Many play random maps because SC is not all about winning to them. 
Anyways, now everyone got the chance to vote, and in the end 47 players out of around 300 registered voted. We'll just have to respect that.

I've always been able to play any map without too much struggle, assuming no weird stuff like Blockchain. Most of the game isn't map specific, I'd not have any issues playing regular ladder maps most the time and playing another random map in a one off series.

why so many complains lul
I'm unfamiliar with only 1 map: Atlantis. Also you basically have FS and CB in the map pool. Other maps are pretty standard too. The map pool is great.

+1
Back in the days we had a lot of weird maps and nobody complain about that...

When it comes to Power Bond and Whiteout.
Many of us "less good" players who don't spend hours everyday playing ladder, have played Whiteout for a whole season of CPL (four months from april to august). Wich comes natural that most of us vote for Whiteout since we know it far better than Power Bond.

Not many... it's 3 complaints out of 300 players registered. It's even less than a fart in space. xD
Also, Face asked all leaders in BWCL if there was any last disagreements after the vote before going public with the mappool, and there was only one complaint there as well out of 24 captains.
For the record:
Bonyth can play all maps
Because Bonyth can adapt
Bonyth is smart
Listen to Bonyth
...and he's king

so thx to the cpl players and organizers that dont play the game we playing retarded maps.

First of all it’s faces league, which he organizes and handles very well every season without asking anything back from the community and he does it so you guys can enjoy a team league for free. He can pick any maps he wants. These maps are not even bad I looked them all up, a few of them are already used professionally and the unknown ones look pretty standard and decent as it is. Why cry about maps when they’re already pretty good in a fun league that has been proven to have a good reputation. You guys still gotta bitch about something I guess

That sucks, but I've yet to see a game from you guys where someones lost because of the map. I know Tech visibly complained at the end of his last game, but the map didn't lose him the game - it was super close but in the end he'd just lost too much over the course of the game.
Comparatively this map pool is super conservative as well.

No one is saying he's not handling it well.
I think everyone appreciates the fact that he continues to run the league smoothly and professionally. Kudos to him.
This isn't about any of that though. In comparison to prior seasons the map pool is significantly better, yes, I can admit that. And I know these results won't change, so I will take it as a win. Improvement is improvement at the end of the day.
But there's some flaw when you have CPL players making the majority of the vote =\

???
It's not about adaptation. I think eon's point is more about practicing less maps across the different leagues and ladder so that your practice is more meaningful. Plus, I would argue that eon can obviously "adapt" given that he has quite a good win ratio in every league, so it's not about adapting at all.

I don't know how the attribute "retarded" is even sensibly applicable to a pool of very standard maps…

So silly to complain about maps! I love the STPL maps, and these are fine too, I wish Beehive had won its so cool <3 .
