i love shattered temple...why you guys hatin

maybe i'm the weird one, i will always love lotem regardless of balance.


Close starting positions on shattered temple.... name anyone who enjoys that?


me! lol
thats why i enjoy lotem/shatem, different position offers different type of games, though some maybe more difficult/easier than the other but still fun. then again, i'm speaking from casual perspective without money on the line.

Lol the map pool really shows just how out of touch blizzard are with the pro scene, and balance at the highest level in general.

Just face palm.

Should be fun though, great line up.

Yeah, as a potential spectator of this event, I'm unhappy about the map pool as it stands now. Why force world-class players to compete on maps that limit their strategic options? Both winners and losers lose when the outcome of a game is attributed more to spawn locations than skill on either side.

What ? Are they serious ? Shattered temple and Abyssal Caverns with close spawns in a competitive matches... For 50k dollars. This is beyond me.

Even if they want to put only ladder maps, Tal'Darim is much better than Xel'naga, Abyssal or Shattered temple.

People need to stop expecting Dimaga to win this because he took a single game off MVP/Nestea MONTHS ago.

MVP is the overwhelming favorite, especially with these maps. Nestea will stand no chance against him. =/

Is there anyway we can open a poll and make blizzard aware of their ridiculous map selection? I'm sure Reddit would support it as well.

I wonder if Nestea knows about these bad maps, someone should ask him on twitter what he thinks about them (in korean ofc) . I feel Nestea live up to his potential unless they aren't gsl maps.

Oh wow I didn't know Loner qualified again. Good for him. Hopefully he has a decent showing.

Why aren't the prizes for all the placements listed? I remember last time people who finished in the top half got something like $1000. In any event, the maps are a joke. It really goes to show that Blizzard doesn't care too much about progressing the game as an esport. (I'm not saying they don't care at all, but they really are showing that they aren't pushing for it).

Not only are the maps bad, but they have also said in the past that they think the maps for the ladder are not necessarily good for professional play, but they need to appeal to a wider audience. Nevertheless they host a professional tournament and have "casual" maps. (I don't want to find one of the sources as they have said it a few times, but I believe one is on AskJoshy's channel where CatZ interviews Dustin Browder)

Edit: Omg... 2 protoss. D:

9 zergs, damn nestea must be happy with the people attending the event.
Regardless of the maps MVP would probably win the entire thing anyways, nestea had a pretty bad record against MVP and I don't see it changing at blizzcon.

Record doesn't matter. Nestea has an extremely high chance of beating MVP. Even 50-50. Did you watch their recent GSL match it was 3-2 MVP's favor and game 4 could have soooo easily gone either way.

Most of MVP - Nestea record is from maps even worse than this tourneys map pool.

Ah was hoping for Dusky, still I'm sure JP will do an admirable job.

The map pool is pretty interesting...it could be worse, but as long as we have no close positions I think we'll survive..?

Oh we definatly will have close positions. Remember the EU Invitational Naniwa-Ret game? Thank god NaNiwa ranted in the final interview about them playing the wrong map.
