GOD DAMN.
This is so retarded.
YES ADD NEW PRO MAPS THAT WERE PLAYED ABOUT 20 TIMES.
Yes ALL THE FOREIGNERS practiced for NOTHING the last 3 months.
GOOD JOB WCG THANK YOU.
Python/Blue/Tau/Gaia/Peaks was probably the BEST and most balanced map pool that WCG ever ever ever ever could have gotten... and now you do what?
Just leave thing all out to the Koreans who practice those maps 15h a day anyway?
Thats just not fair.

Heres the reasoning behind why this was a horrible move. They took away the maps that some nations have already used. For instance USA is already will shortly be in their regional stage. Other nations have more, some have less done. However it is debatbale whether the nations will change the maps. So which maps should we practice for ? The new maps, or the old maps? Clearly this will probally be different for different countries. If we have to practice the old maps for our national, they are effectivly giving us 9 maps for WCG this year. Its completely stupid. The idea that we can make the koreans happy above all foreigners is a crummy PR related move.

As well as removing some maps that we have played, and have practiced for a long time, python peaks so forth, they added new pro-league maps. Troy is an example of an unbalanced map, favoriing p>z as the p can just turtle for 2 hours. If we could manage to get a thread going as a "petition thread" where all who posted in it, would have their name put into a TL.Net Email to WCG, this might cause some WCG interest. If we could have an admin open such a thread where we all put our names down, then have some1 write this email with all those names of those who posted in it I would be the first name ^^. Anyway I hope we can find some way to change WCG's mind.

Argh I cant even stand watching replays and vods on Troy. That map is just awful. They might as well go back to the 2001 maps, atleast those maps are fun to watch games on.

EDIT:I'd rather se fastest than Troy.
I have the best fucking lawyers in the country including the man they call the Malmis.

It seems to me that troy just might be a little bit hard for zergs.
My personal main consern is that it is boring tho.

wtf.... YOU MUST BE JOKING!!!

edit: Now I actually have to practice.... I've only played these maps a handful of times. Tau and Python are my best maps and I just know i'll suck on Troy even though it's a P map.

Then let me say you that I love this map. I got SO fucking bored of all those macro boring maps where we ALWAYS do the same shit. Bring back lotem, dire strait (Yes i'm zerg and yes i lose against protoss so what ? It doesn't change the fact that this map is just INTERESTING to play) and whatever, hell even bifrost, god i love bifrost, so many cheesy strats that were just pure fun.

Fuk macro boring python, fuk gaia and its obstacles and critter everywhere that just annoy the sh!t out of me, Tau cross is OK just macro as well and it doesn't have ramps so less strategics bo, baek is just plain boring because we have to scout all over the maps in order to prevent any greedy bases, and its center is just painfull to play. And no i don't like them just because i lose everytime on them, in fact i've a positive ratio on all those maps, it's just that it's so boring to play nothing more. Hell i'll stop there because i may face so many haters now that i've mentionned all my thoughts.

I'll just say : stop whining.

This seems really unfair to all of the non-Korean players, who now won't have a chance to practice the maps. If the decision came earlier it would be understandable, but even forgetting map quality/balance issues the simple act of changing the maps this late is unfair to anyone who was preparing for the old maps specifically (i.e. all non-Koreans).

The argument against the new maps from a balance perspective is more subjective than the "screwing foreigners" perspective. WCG players will probably have more luck if they talk about their practice time on the former map pool rather than just saying "WTF these maps suck".
