No Steppes of War.

Joke tournament.

They're competition worthy maps

Steppes was played in GSL. Sounds competition worthy to me

Plus Steppes was played in a different era. Nowadays the meta (and game itself) have changed so there's no reason not to try it with high level players.

Just because something ended up being bad at the time doesn't mean it's bad when you have new units and a new meta.
Early SC2 Steppes vs late SC2: HotS Steppes. Different games.


If the intent of this tournament is to break the meta, I think Steppes is fair game.

While Steppes might be small and different from current maps, it's not actually a good map. The map pool used here is infinitely better and I would even say it is better than the current ladder map pool (funny how that works Blizz).

It was a travesty that Steppes of War didn't make the dream pool. The most famous sc2 map ever probably (or infamous). It exemplified the craziness that dream pool was about. Here is the perfect opportunity to right that wrong and it's getting missed.
