In a couple, the thirds look pretty hard to hold without map control, due to close proximities... Am itching to play! | ||

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. | ||

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

Definition of Insanity = "Continuing to do the same thing expecting a different result." Those GSL maps looked much better. | ||

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

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. | ||
