I like all the new Blizzard maps. They are so much better than the new GSL maps.

I don't think so.

They even made the maps smaller.

or a zerg player

Gonna be real interesting to try out these new maps when the patch comes out, since I dont have a US account. Anyways this is great news regardless of how bad or good the maps are.

but not PTR for european server?
that sucks

im glad blizzard finally changes the maps, but we have to see if they are balanced. remember: once they have shown us xel naga caverns the first time, everyone said it is imbalanced as hell because of 3rd base is cliffable. so, sut w8 and see

I don't really think any of the people posting are qualified to say much with just looking at a map. However I really wish they would just make one giant map with two spawns. Just to see if it would work...

Give the new maps a chance before saying something like that.

The point is that now the ladder map pool =/= the map pool for the largest tournament which is bound to cause problems


I don't see that being an issue. I assume GSL will cancel that move and use these maps. Any other move would be the wrong one

Honestly, people need to be more patient. Blizzard maps are moving in the right direction. Yes, they're not perfect yet. It's Blizzard. They're slow. Famous for it, in fact. So we'll use custom maps for now and tough out that the ladder's different. Eventually, with enough pressure, Blizzard maps will be so good that the point will be moot because everyone will want to use their maps anyway.

For now, we'll have major tournaments using Blizzard for half the maps in their pools. Xel'naga Caverns, Scrap Station, Test Map 2, and some customs isn't a bad map pool in the slightest.

It's very important for the ladder maps and GSL maps to reconcile quickly if there is a desync, that said I would rather of had the new GSL maps... These are an improvement at least.

As a zerg player I'm liking the look of most of those new maps. I love the layout of Map 5 especially.

I like the maps. Definately a step in the right direction, which is exactly what needs to be done at this point. More room, but not too big.

Making the maps huge all of the sudden would change everything.

No they would rather still use their maps as they are more balanced at the moment.....plus it's easier for them to give feedback to the maps and map issues take much less time to rectify.

By the simple texture work/lack of doodads I think these maps are indeed just "test" maps.

Give Blizzard some feedback about whats good and bad and they might turn out to be not too bad.

They all look pretty samey just from a glance, 4 corner spawns, open middle. Just from a visual standpoint they're pretty bland, but I guess the redone LT might be good, and the others might be ok, will have to wait for the patch I guess.

Blizzard showed us that they are completely unable to develop proper maps. Why dont the start to let GSL take control over the mappool?

Well that really depends on what you compare these maps to. If there replacing Steppes, DQ, and Blistering Sands then at least we will have bigger maps over all. But I also don't want GSL to change its map pool for these maps. When I saw the GSL maps they looked great, noticeably different then the current map pool and I can't wait to see the games that come out of them.

I just played some games as P and I find it really hard 2 sentry expand. I've only played on 2 maps but one has an alternate path the nat that is easy for zerg to run by and the other is even more open than metal. Good to have some change though.
