Signing the petition. But I would really hope that if its used in tournaments, it's used on a global basis.

It seems that's the problem with iCCup Testbug. A lot of Koreans don't even play it and most western players don't really practice for it until MLG. The only way I see the problem being overcome is if Blizzard puts it in their ladder pool and that's really unlikely.

But we need some new maps anyway (and not just from the Korean scene) so I'll sign it and hope for action rather than inaction.

Signed, although I'm afraid of the way they would Blizzardify such maps...

Adding rocks, removing one base... [image loading]

Adding rocks and gold... [image loading]

Yet they would still be better than most ladder maps =)

You know, as a policy, Blizzard doesn't read or care for petitions. Just putting that out there.

I have written a large response, then you closed the thread. Then I deleted my response because I thought the thread was closed...now you reopen it. DAMN YOU

JK, of course.

Anywho, my main point I wanted to make is, that I think it's crucial to get Blizz to realize that the discrepancy between maps played on ladder and maps played in tournaments is very BAD. I've always loved watching tournaments not only because of the excitement but because of seeing new strats that I can use in my own play. Now when the maps are so completely different, then I can't use any of the builds used in tournaments.

Therefore I really support petitions like this one, because the community must convince Blizz to listen to professional players and tournament hosts. Not having tournament maps on ladder is very bad for the development of sc2 in general.

Those 2 maps look brilliant, signed. But im sure this will go un-noticed to blizzard, considering their maps are garbage and haven't listened to the community. Hope this works. GL to us all!

That is my mistake! It should read the Electronic Sports League. Unfortuantely there is no way to go back and edit petitions >.<

Add Dreamhack to the list of tournaments as well. They will be running more and more SC2 tournaments with Invitational and DH Winter coming up.

They need to see this as well.

And yes - I've signed it!

Excellent Idea! I'll send this to DH as well - unfortunately there is no good way to edit petitions, but rest assured that I will send it to them!

We couldn't get The Eighteenth? Haha, unfortunately the aesthetic of the map will forbid it from ever being seriously used, but that is still one awesome map.

Voted for sure. MotM is a great initiative and it's time that great maps from the community start getting used, instead of just Blizzard/GSL maps (although the GSL maps are indeed great). Seriously, even iCCup only has one map that's ever used.

Whats is actually the problem with Larger maps for low leagues ?
Isn't it better to actually have a player win because he can (for that lvl) macro on 3-4-12 bases ? Then because he microed 1 base all in better or made 3 more marines with better BO and atacked ?

And at the same time, it's not like cheese and all ins don't exist on larger maps.

I have never seen this maps before. But, wow, they are really good. They are as good as GSL crevasse, and better then a couple of other gsl maps, truly impressed.
They have good size, not too big, not too small. They have an interesting expansion pattern, and a good center wich leaves room to maneuver and flank.
I sincerely hope these 2 maps get added to the map pool.
