Terminus and Calm Before the Storm are more awful imo...but yes totally agree that's why we can have a map making contest map in it's place to try it out. | ||

I agree they are even worse but still Shakuras isn't good. Ideal map pool for me would be: Daybreak Taldarim Alter Belshir Beach Winter Dual Sight Antiga Shipyard I'm not a massive Antiga fan but a lot of people seem to like it. I don't like seeing repeats so five maps is nice. | ||

Sorry, but we're not cutting the three maps that we had created specially for us. We favor variety, and we hope that players will make their own decisions on how much they need to practice the different maps. Edit: You also suggest having a map making contest, which is where three of those five maps came from. | ||

I meant you could remove Shakuras in place of one of the map making contest maps (ie. Darkness Falls, Sanshorn Mist AE, Atlantis Spaceship). I'm sure it will be fine, just having a smaller map pool and removing some problem maps is something to think about for next time. | ||

There are plenty of ways to practice these maps and I know of at least one daily tournament with these maps in their pool(with the exception of darkness falls). Imagine if noone were ever allowed to deviate from the standard of current maps. We wouldve been left with XNC  . | ||

Cut em in half please. As a tournament organizer you should do try to ensure the best possible experience for your audience and your players. IGN is either naive and think the pros will actually handle so many maps or just doesn't care about how good the games actually are. hmm.. | ||

Been one of the prettiest maps imo for ages. | ||

What makes you and expert and can tell that this many maps will not give the "best possible experience for your audience and your players" ? We have seen so many good games at MLG and other foreigner tournaments finals compared to GSL maybe because they dont have so much time to prepare for individual matches and it comes down to overall skills, who is to say this cant happen with maps as well. | ||
