Totally agreed. There is not nearly as much discussion about maps on any of these forums as there should be. | ||

Now, onto the content of the post. I have to agree that I think having more custom maps in tournaments would help push the level of play that we are seeing. For example, Metalopolis is a great map and all… but it is incredibly old. I mean, goodness, the map (Essentially) has been around for over a year and half now. Yes, it was fun to watch pros play on the maps that I was familiar with… but after a year of seeing the same terrain things seem to be stagnating a little bit. I don't think any type of extreme map rotation is needed, but it would be nice to see maps cycle in and out gradually to keep things interesting and stories going. I would also like to play on new maps, because exploring new terrain in games is always fun and exciting c: | ||

Your argument doesn't make any sense in context. Blizzard removed the map because it was one of the most imbalanced maps on the ladder. These are the stats for the pros. Not for the average player. You can either make the argument that the map pool should be balanced for both the average player and the pro, but you can't take elements from each and make a single coherent thought. | ||

Rather than having a confusing and disjointed map pool, ideally, major tournaments like MLG and GSL, already working in close collaboration, will create a system for creating and implementing maps that can be adopted by all tournaments. With such a system in place a 'standard' map pool for professional StarCraft 2 could be created and a cycle of replacement accepted. Oh my god yes! I was thinking about this for months now, i absolutely love that you say it in public. This absolutly has to be done! | ||

Edited: To the person above me. Steppes is a horrible map, and it should not be entertained for any play whatsoever. | ||

It is in team’s interest to have a balanced and fresh map pool. It may be time to create an entity with its sole purpose to brief tournaments on potential maps. With the established teams having to play 100 games or ## and submit a report giving their players thoughts on the maps. Alternatively this could be initiated by organisations such as GSL and MLG who would make it a requirement to enter into their tournaments. This may just result in a prisoner’s dilemma, however hopefully for the established organisations, such as the previously mentioned, it will create a cooperative prisoner’s dilemma (outcome: cooperate, cooperate) It is my opinion, because of the international nature of SC2, if will be very hard to create a separate entity. The big tournaments may hold enough power to pull it off, especially if the community understands why they have implemented the measures. | ||
