Sadly, I doubt this will affect the ladder maps. Hopefully we'll see less bunkers blocking ramps next season @_@ | ||

But those minor complaints are nothing compared to the praise I have for them experimenting with custom maps, kudos. | ||

Love the idea of changing things up... Would be nice if Gom did this each month to keep the tourny's fresh. Hopefully one of the SC casters reads this thread and does casts on these new maps ASAP. | ||

You could be talking about something different, but i just yesterday listened to a state of the game podcast where (i think) kennigit said he talked to blizz about new maps for competitions and the only statement was that blizz is supportive bout custom maps for tournaments. I'm sure blizzard is happy that tournament maps are being made, but did blizzard say they would put tournament maps on the ladder? | ||

The sheer size, and how the naturals and 3rds are situated, automatically make these maps difficult for Terran. Considering the current lineup, I'd be more happy if they understood more of the Protoss and Zerg rather than the Terran. TvT is what I'm going to be concerned about - there's a risk of turtling. With the addition of Polt, there is now seventeen Terran in the lineup. Either way - it's good to see the maps removed and those added. I wish Blizzard could learn from these guys...

What Blizzard really is saying is no, they won't. | ||

Watch the Gisado and terrans are doing just fine on these maps in tvz (don't watch tvp so no comment on that mu). Both are winning about equally and they are macro games not 1 base all ins or anything. Terrans can do it just 90% of them dont' know how because they don't play for the longer game. | ||

As a macro-oriented Terran player, I have to agree with that. Comments saying things like "GOM doesn't understand Terran" or "e z Zerg wins" when the maps have been tested previously for balance -- and the people complaining haven't actually seen the general outcome on these maps in the different matchups -- are incredibly premature. | ||

Yeah, its pretty funny to see people complaining about GOM not understanding the game, when all it does is highlight the fact that they themselves know very little | ||
