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 know....
Ladder isn't GSL. I don't feel that blizzard should alter the foundations of the game due to an aftermarket tourney,
however, in saying that. I would enjoy the GSL more if I knew the maps on a personal level. I don't feel it has to be uniform for the sake of the GSL, more so for the sake of the fans. Whether the GSL only use ladder pool maps, or, ladder pool maps include those used in GSL. Either way, really.

For what its worth - I like the look of the new maps. Fairly easy to defend naturals. In a couple, the thirds look pretty hard to hold without map control, due to close proximities... Am itching to play!
Play the games!

Has anyone taken a look at these maps? Am I the only one who's seeing no third base on the fourth map except for one blocked by rocks?

Some of those maps don't have a reasonable third.

I don't understand why they would do this. Releasing their own maps at this junction is an iffy choice. Releasing their own maps that don't obviously fix the problem with the current maps is a complete blunder, and that's being polite.

It kinda looks like they took 2v2 maps, made em a bit smaller and called them 1v1

The game should revolve around the biggest goddamn tourney in the game.

At first glance, I only "like" one of these maps, but they all look short and stupid with so many rocks.

Blizzard has to address the rush distance...

Those GSL maps looked much better.

Yeah some of them seem really short. :|

It really seems like the map designers haven't experienced close position on meta/lost temple first hand.

We need to find out if close position spawns are possible on all these maps ASAP!

I don't know...these maps actually all look the same based on the preview with minor variations and tilesets...I'll give it a spin but I wish they looked a bit more varied.

Ya... Test map1 is just a more open lost temple? .... where's the inspiration in that? :l
I hope the community can one day take part in putting maps in the map pool some day. But I guess it's easier for blizzard's part if they control the map pool.
Stay gold.

They may just make it fixed spawn positions and remove close positions as an option.

Well when you consider that performing well on the ladder is a criteria for being selected into the Code A qualifiers then it should be very obvious why a unified map pool is better than a split map pool.
