Is there any reason these three maps were choose over other maps like Bel'shir Marquee, by TheFish7 or Desolate Stronghold by blizzard.

I don't want to speak for "the reeds" so I won't speculate on how they pick maps to include in the map pool. What I will say though is just by looking at it, Bel'shir Marquee looks like a really good map and I'm very interested in playing on it.

We wanted to have a variety of maps from different sources to choose from. We are planning on switching out a map every week, so Bel Shir and Stronghold will have plenty of opportunities to be circulated in.

Edit: We considered switching out like three maps a month, but this way can hopefully get more people involved with our tournament and 2v2 more consistently. And switching out a map a week is way cooler than 3 maps a month.

Bel'shir Marquee was in the vote last week. It got a close second to Kuituneet, which means it'll be up for vote again sooner than later.

Since there is a chance that the only split-main map in the pool, Scorched Haven, could be removed from the map pool this week, we did want to include Molten Crater as a potential replacement in that sense to round out the pool. The last thing we want is every map to cater to a single style. Desolate Stronghold is set to be in the poll next week. As of right now I have 9 new maps (including the ones in the poll above) that can be rotated into the map pool, so we're not short on maps to add. I'm also in the process of gathering more from map makers.

Remember to vote in the polls above! They're gonna close soon!

For those of you who were literally blinded by it's beauty, I've published a darker-lit version of Kuihtuneet on NA (listed as version 0.2.1)

. You can use either in the tournament since the only change is the lighting

Edit: oh yeah and sign up for the tournament!

I strongly dislike Desolate Stronghold. These maps where you can't get more than 2+1 base without stretching your team out make every ZZ team an automatic 77 pool.
