BLinD-RawR ALLEYCAT BLUES50861 Posts October 02 2019 02:03 GMT #2 Yes It should no longer be used in premiere tournaments at the very least, as much as I hate to use the phrase the map is very "stale" and doesn't do much to improve the current meta at the top level. people are not ready to let go of it on ladder though and they probably never will, it serves its purpose there for being a safe map to learn to play the game.

Liquid`Drone Norway28786 Posts October 02 2019 15:08 GMT #6 kept as a ladder map is good (as long as I can keep vetoing it ) but yeah shouldn't be played in tourneys anymore.

crbox Canada1180 Posts October 02 2019 21:21 GMT #7 I agree with the consensus : ladder yes, tourney no

Shiladie Canada1631 Posts October 03 2019 17:54 GMT #8 Agreed, I'm in favour of removing it from tournies, but keeping some very standard maps like it in the ladder pool is good.

Jealous 10313 Posts October 05 2019 19:47 GMT #14 I think it's important to keep (along with FS) as a relatively "vanilla" map, the competitive standard so to speak. It is precisely because the approaches to the map are so well-known and established that I believe it is one of the best maps to measure at least certain aspects of "skill." I'm honestly more curious what the pros think about it. I imagine most are in favor of keeping it because of its longevity and stability, but that's just a guess. 164/164 btw

Piste 6183 Posts October 06 2019 10:56 GMT #15 pro tour no need to keep it, but on ladder definitely yes. It is pretty balanced and less boring than CB. Everyone knows the map well.

kogeT Poland2042 Posts October 07 2019 07:31 GMT #16 I think it makes sense to keep it, what I love about SC most is that you have a variety of maps: some new, meta changing and challening maps, and some old, well analyzed and practiced maps. These two types allow players to battle on different grounds: creativity & flexibility vs preparation & execution. Having 2-3 standard and 2-3 non standard maps makes exactly that. Keep FS!
