Prepare to see SS and Inferno kept because they "really want to see how these maps play out when on the ladder for a longer time".

After their communication on the ladder patch, I'm more than prepared for that. Sadly.

The usual, hyping Taeja, who is awesome ofc, to high heavens and talking about Dark games from like 2012. Imo every commentator should be required to watch SPL.


Its a bit embarrassing when random people on the internet have more knowledge than those who are getting paid thousands of dollars to provide analysis. Shame ESL didn't hire Artosis


Wow. Lovely that the armchair analyzing has moved from in-game to the analysis desk now.

Did you see the pre-talk Dark-Taeja? It was really dreadful.


I did, but I guess I am not that picky about the pre-game chatter on the analysis desk because it's all based on past games which have some but not a lot of bearing on the game at hand (see: Fantasy v Rain).

Kespa BW players get a huge amount of hype for lesser results. Trap could win MLG, get 4th in WCS Season 3 Finals, top 5 in GSL, 4th at Red Bull, multiple Code S qualifications and do well in Proleague and he got about 1/10th the hype of players like effort for beating maru once or Flash for beating Byul once.

I think it should be the standard more than the exception that a map gets dropped. A lot more fun for both players and viewers. I guess some pros wont like it

I don't think so. There should indeed be a quicker rotation, but I'm more than OK with two seasons on a good solid map like Overgrowth or Frost. I wouldn't be OK with Secret Spring and Inferno Pools remaining in the map pool one season more though.

If we look at the current map pool : Overgrowth can't decently stay, Catallena/Deadwing are bad maps AND are there for two seasons, Secret Spring and Inferno Pools are retarded beyond what can be expressed with words. Vaani and Expedition Lost may be OK, and even those maps are really far from amazing (not to mention the slow mining rate on them that fucks every build up, but anyway). At least 5 maps need to be replaced with good ones.


Replacing 5 maps would make it the more standard option, right? :D

Love it when Zergs think they can skip scouting and drone drone drone without any real game sense. Having said this, I haven't done the hellbat push ever. I have a marine hellion push that requires some control.

Of course, but only because this map pool is God awful, which shouldn't have happened in the first place. If we could trust Blizzard for making competitive map pools, I think 4 maps staying and 3 maps going out each season would be great. Unfortunately they throw in completely ludicrous maps that should never even be considered for high level play (Secret Spring, I'm looking at you...).
