looks like they went the conservative route for map design this season. probably based on how poorly demon forest turned out.

still I wouldve like to some more innovation... at least keep troy?

and hunters.. hahahaha, should bring in BGH as well ;-)

Unlike most, I favor keeping Katrina - sure, PvX was imbalanced previously, but with Flash's innovations + revamping of the map, I see the map as holding some potential.

Unless you're a zerg player, in which case you're still screwed.

Hunters, yes!
I knew all these years of playing Hunters would pay off!
Now I go pro~

edit: oh and those that are dissing Hunters, please stop being ignorant.
There's been a Hunters league in Korea for years now and it's very popular. Of course not as pro league, but still pretty popular and level that it's played on is incredible. Meaning, position imbalances are brought to minimum.

I was shocked at hunters, but it'll be interesting to see 11 and 12 starting positions with enemies lol

Hunters would make for more interesting to watch matches, even if it is clearly positionally imbalanced.

As for the 1v1 maps, some look nice, but I want to see a lot more maps where there isn't a safe natural. The maps currently in circulation all favour long macro games, but I want maps with more limited and hard to defend resources to encourage early aggressive micro.

<3 Korean News. Maps seems to be nice, but they are missing a 3 player map ;( those are always great to study.

*Gasp* @ Hunters. It won't make the cut, but wouldn't it be a victory itself.
