Diamond delivering as expected, I love Korean Weekly for the high quality games and always showcasing new ESV maps

That said, I am sorry but as a an avid viewer of the Korean Weekly I have to criticize your map decision this time. I absolutely do not agree with this.

Especially Vicious is just terrible in terms of positional balance and altho I can see prodiG put some effort into the aesthetics, they still just give me eye cancer. Frigid Pass is a pretty meh turtly 4p mirrored, with a small middle, that imo will lead to really turtly average games similar to most other 4p mirrored maps.
Avalon and Serpent Sands are kinda similar, I think I prefer I prefer Serpent Sands but both thirds are quite far and those maps don't convince me either.

Now let's look at imo superior alternatives from ESV. First of all I think you only considered 4p maps cos you have so many 2p maps already, but I don't agree with introducing inferior maps just because they are 4p.

First of all ESV Discord is probably my favorite unused map at the moment. It was top5 in MotM January and is just an overall solid and interesting map, would love to see this.
Also a Grebliv map, ESV Sidewinder has been top5 in MotM February and again is probably my favorite 4p rotational at the moment, definitely should be considered instead of these four maps.

Some other maps I think are better than Vicious (and at least as good as the others) that I would definitely prefer to see are ESV Equinox , ESV Tanzanite or even ESV Blitzkrieg. ESV Pantheon or ESV Borealis might not be too bad either but not a big improvement over the maps you chose.

I already think Korhal Compound and Ohana are a bit meh so... with these map decisions you really lower my interest in the Korean Weekly by quite a bit.

I know it's not nice to come in a hype thread with such negativity and I could have told you this privately as well, but I think just as a viewer and fan of the Korean Weekly this is where my criticism belongs.

He stated on twitter that he hates April Fool's day. So probably 0,1 %


I really do despise it, 99% of the jokes aren't funny and just waste my time.


HAHAHAHAHA!
Nice joke buddy!

Please do understand that there is several issues here. The first and foremost is in the end this is a $200 weekly with a $3500 finals. While it's decently big, to have a map pool that contains 0 known maps would create sub par play due to very few players bothering to learn 5 new maps instead of 2-3.

Also the map pool can (and will) change at any time needed. This candidate pool is only guaranteed for Week 1.

Yes we only needed 4p maps for this because we have enough 2p maps, we will use new ones eventually, just not Week 1.

I hope maybe that helps clear things up.

Orb is nice, but I hate that he doesn't click on things when observing. Sometimes I want to know what upgrades they have but he never clicks a unit, he just moves the camera around

Orb won't be obs'ing until he gets a new comp, with a payment model we can't have the non stop crashes.

Is there a list of invited players or are they just going to grab random players a few days before it kicks off?
